The Green Beauty Guide: Your Essential Resource to Organic and Natural Skin Care, Hair Care, Makeup, and Fragrances

Yield:

5 ounces

This bath salt recipe reminds me of a famous Tibetan green tea traditionally prepared with salt,
butter, and baking soda. It will invigorate your senses and stimulate blood circulation. This bath
salt will also soften the water.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and store in your favorite jar. Add half-cup of the infusion to
the running bathwater. To keep the essential oils from evaporating too quickly, you can add the
bath salts just before getting into the tub. Sitting on undissolved bath salts can be uncomfortable
(though nicely exfoliating for your bum), so make sure the salts have dissolved well before
entering.

1 cup virgin olive oil

1 drop rose essential oil

1 drop lavender essential oil

2 drops mandarin essential oil

5 organic unwaxed oranges, cut into quarters

Yield:

4 ounces

1. Add the essential oils to the olive oil and pour the mixture under running water into the
   bathtub so that the oils spread evenly without forming greasy puddles.


2. Add the oranges and let them float around. As you bathe, squeeze the oranges lightly and
   wipe your face with their juices.
