DIY is a hot topic these days, and the idea of doing it yourself ranges from home improvement to personal care and cosmetics. However, before choosing your own essential oils for bath, it’s important to know that there may be a better way.
DIY Bath Soaks?
Sometimes, doing it yourself is easier is more cost-effective. For instance, learning to paint your own home can be more cost-effective than hiring a professional painting crew as long as you don’t require any cosmetic repairs to go along with the paint job.
Baking your own chocolate chip cookies can be more cost-effective as well with a simple recipe that yields multiple dozen cookies to enjoy.
Bath soaks, however, do not fall under this category. Unless a person is an independent creator of soaks, planning to sell their specialized product to consumers, there’s not a whole lot to be gained by making your soak compared to purchasing an all-natural bath soak you can rely on.
First, one must acquire USP Grade epsom salt with a Certificate of Analysis to create the base of the soak. Next, a DIYer will choose any skin-softening oils they wish to add to the soak, like coconut or vitamin E oil.
Last, research on essential oil combinations for baths, carrier oils, and what oils work best in a bath soak to achieve certain properties or feelings will have to be done.
Once the blend is created, the DIYer will then need to consider storage. Effective storage for bath soaks can be complicated to keep all moisture out. Plus containers will only add to the cost of the homemade soak.
When all is said and done, the DIY bath soak project and the trial and error that goes into it will typically wind up costing more, taking up more time, and creating a much bigger mess.
Many discover that the DIY project adds to their stress levels—exactly what they were hoping a bath soak would help with in the first place.
Epsom Salt Bath Soak Blends
There are benefits to investing in tried-and-true bath soak blends. First, these are blends created with all-natural ingredients, like pure epsom salt and Mediterranean sea salt.
They’re also created by those who have already gone through the trial-and-error phase of creating high-quality salts. For instance, instead of investing in a handful of different essential oils to figure out what works, these are essential oil combinations known to provide effective and pleasant aromatherapy.
They have skin-nourishing ingredients like coconut oil and vitamin E oil and are already packaged in safe and convenient containers.
Taking on a DIY project also creates a mess. Making your own bath soak could look like oily dishes in the sink and a salt mess on the counter.
Sticking to professionally made bath salts is the easiest way to secure the product, enjoy your bath, and take your mind off of the stresses of the day.
