Tips & variations
Once you have made your bath salts, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.
- Add the fragrance to the salt a little at a time and mix well so it spreads evenly.
- Use a coarse and a fine salt together for a nicer look and feel.
- Store in a cool, dry spot and use clean, dry hands or a spatula to keep it fresh.
Make it your own: change the fragrance or essential oil, or tweak the colour to suit the season.
