DIY bath and beauty projects are not only a great way to save money but also keep harmful chemicals away from your skin. This soak has even more benefits… relaxation, aromatherapy, and detox-to remove unwanted and unhealthy substances in your skin (your largest organ). Lime and Ginger are perfect scents for summer, fresh and bright. Bath soaks make wonderful gifts as well; for mom, end of year gifts for teachers, tucked in a get well basket, or make up a bath for favors at a baby or bridal shower- they will be a hit I promise! Put them in a pretty jar with a homemade tag and colorful ribbon or twine.
Supplies Needed:
2 cups epsom salt
1 cup baking soda
2 limes, zested
1 Tbsp. grated ginger
Directions:
Stir epsom salt, ginger, and baking soda together to combine well.
Grate limes into mixture and stir in.
Transfer to an airtight container.
Add 1 cup to your bath under running water as hot as you can stand and soak for at least 20 minutes for full benefits.
Ginger is a fantastic natural detox- be warned…it will make you sweat but this is desired and will help remove toxins from the skin. It is also an anti inflammatory, helps reduce cold and flu symptoms, and good for relaxing menstrual cramps.
