DIY Sea Salt and Eucalyptus Bath

A treat after the last few weeks! Baths force us to slow down and enjoy the moment. The salts and baking soda in this detox bath from Hello Glow draw out impurities and excess water while delivering a dose of natural minerals. Eucalyptus oil is stimulating, rejuvenating, and great for congestion. -Rebecca McClelland

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup sea salt

  • 1 cup Epsom salt

  • 2 cups baking soda

  • 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil

Combine all ingredients in hot water and soak for as long as you can.

HOW TO:

  • Fill the tub with hot water. It’s recommended that you use the hottest water you can comfortably stand because the warmer the water, the more you’ll sweat. And the more you sweat, the more you detox.

  • Add your bath soak. While the tub fills, add your bath soak ingredients and use your hands to help everything dissolve.

  • Purify the water. If your water is unfiltered, add a cup of baking soda or 2–3 tablespoons of bentonite clay to help absorb impurities such as chlorine and fluoride in your water.

  • Relax for up to 40 minutes. Climb in and soak for anywhere between 20 and 40 minutes. If the water starts to get cold, drain the tub slightly, and add more hot water. If you begin to feel lightheaded, splash your face with cool water or hop out of the tub so you can cool off.

  • Relax for the rest of the day. It’s best to do a detox bath on a Friday or Saturday night to allow yourself plenty of time to relax and recover post-soak.

Who is taking a long soak this weekend?
