DIY Oil-Infused Shower Melts
These essential oil shower melts are easy to make (only a few household ingredients!) and are a perfect way to add a little something extra to your morning routine. Choose fresh, crisp oils and blends like Peppermint, Raven and Citrus Fresh for an invigorating steam shower to start your day. These also make a lovely gift!
You will need:
- 1 Cup Baking Soda
- 1/2 Cup High Quality Epsom Salt
- 20 Drops Of Essential Oil(s)*
- Water (about 2-3 teaspoons)
- Silicone mold
Pour the baking soda and epsom salt into a mixing bowl. Slowly add water, about 2 teaspoons, and mix well. If the mixture is not holding, you might need to add another teaspoon of water. Add 20 drops of essential oil(s) of your choice and mix well. Scoop into silicone molds (or reuse an empty k-cup!) and let sit overnight. Remove and store in an airtight container.
To use, simply place a shower melt on the floor of the shower near the water but not directly in the stream. Enjoy!
