I love the saying you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Using these spa-like products helps. They are great for self-care. If you are like me, you want to try these other ideas too.

How to make eucalyptus and lavender bath bombs recipe

First, combine the Epsom salt, baking soda, cornstarch, and citric acid into a large bowl and whisk to combine. Make sure to combine until there are no more lumps.

Secondly, add the olive oil, water, lavender oil, eucalyptus oil and mica powder into the jar and seal the lid.

Then, you will need to shake the jar until all the contents are fully combined.

Next, you will gradually combine both mixtures a bit at a time. You will need to whisk while slowly combining. If you do not gradually combine the ingredients or continuously mix, the ingredients will begin to fizz and that is not good.

Now, all of the wet ingredients should be in the dry mixture. Use the whisk to combine until fully incorporated and the color is consistent.

After, add the dried lavender into the 4 of the bath bomb molds.

Promptly put the mixture into the molds, making sure to pack in each side until full.

Finally, combine both sides of the mold, twisting slightly and let set. It’s best to give the molds a day to shape and set them to be on the safe side.

To finish, slowly remove the molds and place them into an airtight container or separate bags for storage.
