Alternatively, don’t be afraid to choose one favorite base oil, and add a few supporting oils. The smell test is really all you need to customize oils products.
DIY Essential Oils Bath Salts – adding oils
Add 3-7 drops of each oil to 1-2 cups of natural Epsom salt in a jar. Replace the lid and shake, until well mixed. Make sure the mixture isn’t too weak or too strong. Add more oil, or salt accordingly.
A good rule of thumb when making your DIY Essential Oils Bath Salts Gift is to choose one main essential oil fragrance. Then add a few drops of supporting oil fragrances until you are happy with the results. Of course, you can choose to use only one oil but you might enjoy playing with the mixtures.
