In winter especially, I love to turn on the water as hot as I can stand and just soak in bubbles, salts, or bath bombs. Since I typically enjoy a winter bath right before bed, I love to soak in soothing lavender bath salts that I whip up at home with just three simple ingredients. Lavender calms and relaxes which makes it ideal for pre-bedtime rituals. For me, it\u2019s my preferred way to unwind and melt away my worries, so I thought I\u2019d share how I make these Soothing Lavender Bath Salts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SUPPLIES<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>dried lavender<\/li>\n<li>epsom salts<\/li>\n<li>lavender essential oil<\/li>\n<li>glass container<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I start by adding about a quarter cup of dried lavender to my glass container.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lavender-bath-salts002.png\" alt=\"lavender bath salts002\" class=\"wp-image-33\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Next I add just over a cup of epsom salts.

Winter is hard on my skin with dryer weather and after an extra hot bath, I need to ensure I\u2019m replenishing my skin. Moisturizing skin while it\u2019s wet can help to keep my skin hydrated all winter long since it absorbs immediately. Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer contains essential oils that work with water to lock in moisture and leave me feeling soft all day. When it comes to my skin and keeping it moisturized, I\u2019m as picky as they come. I can\u2019t handle that after-grease feeling almost every other lotion leaves behind and I constantly forget to moisturize unless I do it right after a shower. I love that Jergens Wet Skin is applied before I even get out and I don\u2019t have to feel that after-grease, just ultra soft and silky skin. Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer is available in five different scents and can be found at Walmart.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lavender-bath-salts009.png\" alt=\"lavender bath salts009\" class=\"wp-image-40\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lavender-bath-salts010.png\" alt=\"lavender bath salts010\" class=\"wp-image-41\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lavender-bath-salts015.png\" alt=\"lavender bath salts015\" class=\"wp-image-42\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/lavender-bath-salts013-683x1024.png\" alt=\"lavender bath salts013\" class=\"wp-image-43\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/soothing-lavender-bath-salts\/\">DIY | SOOTHING LAVENDER BATH SALTS<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/\">OurHollyDays<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ourhollydays.com\/soothing-lavender-bath-salts\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"DIY | SOOTHING LAVENDER BATH SALTS\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dev_MaLy I\u2019m a bath gal and always have been.
