Transform your bathtub into a spa resort. Okay, everybody knows that’s an exaggeration and life makes sure that your moments to yourself are few and far between. But you really should try these relaxing Essential Oil Spa Bath Salt recipes to get 15 minutes to yourself and enjoy a little pampering. I don’t have to convince you to take a peaceful and luxurious bath, right?

Simple ingredients, simple pleasure

We’ve previously shared with you our simplest relaxing bath recipe which is a super-easy way to experience the sweet relaxation that comes from essential oils.

But, we wanted this Spa Bath Salts recipe to be a little different. We wanted it to be more special and a teensy bit more like what you would actually experience in a spa. And, it is a delightful gift idea for any female in your life. More on that in a minute!

We’re starting with a combination of Himalayan pink salt and Epsom salt.

These two ingredients deliver some precious minerals to the bath that can help ease your stress and even relieve mild physical discomforts.  

Minerals help detoxify your body. I don’t know about that, but my skin always feels amazingly soft after a salt bath, so that’s a great benefit in my book.

My favorite aspect of this recipe is the delightful butterfly pea flower. If you’ve never heard of them then you’re in for a real treat. These plants are native to Asia and we got our Organic Butterfly Pea Flowers direct from Thailand for a great price here.

These flowers have been used traditionally to increase relaxation, reduce stress, and help you sleep.

The butterfly pea flowers have an added bonus of turning your bath water a precious blue color. This is super relaxing to me when I soak for a few precious moments after a long week. The blue color is very calming and does not stain or discolor my bathtub (in case you’re wondering).

The essential oils in this recipe are sweet, floral, and exotic. They combine together to create the perfect atmosphere for you to steal away a few moments of luxury. We use Bergamot and Ylang Ylang essential oils to give a bright and feminine scent that you’ll love.

These Spa Bath Salts will make a remarkable gift when presented in this lidded bamboo box. I keep this stocked beside my bathtub so I can reach for it when needed. It’s gorgeous and such beautiful, natural wood.

Also, if you’d like to add another layer of awesomeness you can grab this boar bristled body brush which can gently remove dead skin and help encourage good circulation.
