II) Homemade Bubble Bath Recipe Ideas: or you can just buy this stuff
1) Milk Bath:
Ingredients:
• 3 cups powdered milk
• 1/4 cup oatmeal
• 1/3 cup almond meal*
• 1 capsule vitamin E (break open into dry ingredients)
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
Directions:
Makes enough for a few baths. Combine ingredients make sure its completely mixed. Store in a container. When you are ready to add it to your bath, scoop the desired amount of the mixture and tie securely in a muslin bag or even a facecloth will do. Tie to the faucet allowing the warm water to run over the bag.
* To make almond meal:
Using a blender, grind up blanched or slivered almonds to a powdered consistency.
2) Make Scented Bath Salts:
Ingredients:
2 Cups Sea Salt, Kosher Salt or Rock Salt
20 Drops Essential Oil
Add the essential oil to the salt. Spread it out on a cookie sheet covered with tin foil or parchment paper. (Don’t use paper towels, because they’ll absorb the scented oil.) When it’s dry, which may take as long as 24 hours or as little as 3, pour it into a pretty glass jar with a cover. If you like colored bath salts add non-toxic food coloring to the salts with the essential oil. Use a half-cup and add to running water.
