How to Make Simple Pink Bath Salts

- Mix the salts. Stir the salts together in a dry bowl.
- Add oil. Blend the carrier oil and essential oil, then stir through the salts until evenly coated.
- Jar it. Spoon into a clean, dry jar and seal.
- Use. Add about 1/2 cup to a warm bath and stir until dissolved.
