DIY Life

Green beer, green jewelry, green clothing; green shamrocks, green hats, and green sparklers. We break out these things and more to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style.

But green bath salts? You bet, and these are the all-natural kind. They won't dye your skin green, or clog your drain, so you have nothing to lose... except the stress and fatigue of a long day, with a relaxing soak in your green tub of water.

Rejuvenating Green Bath Salts

• 1 c. sea salt
• 1 tsp. jojoba
• 1 TB green tea, ground to a fine powder
• 1/4 tsp. chlorella powder
• 20 drops lavender essential oil
• 5 drops geranium essential oil
• 3 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions after the break!

Blend dry ingredients; set aside. Mix essential oils into jojoba, then add to dry ingredients, and mix well with a spatula.

Use about 1/4 cup per bath. Store remainder in an airtight container.

The green tea is rich in antioxidants to rejuvenate your skin. Detoxifying, healing chlorella makes this bath salt recipe into a green powerhouse. The essential oil blend is calming, rejuvenating, encourages healthy circulation and smells fabulous.

Once you've bathed green, you'll never want a colorless bath again.
