How To Make Homemade Bubble Bath
Soaking in a nice hot tub of bubbles at the end of the day is a small luxury that can make a big difference. If you make your own, you can choose what scents you want to soak in, and you have the advantage of knowing exactly what’s going on your skin. Also, it can a lot cheaper and just as luxurious as the fancy kinds. The key to a successful homemade bubble bath is to get a good mix of essential oils and the right amount of bubbles.
The bubbles come from the castille and glycerine (or coconut oil which might be easier to procure). We use Burt’s Bees for the castille or Dr. Bronner’s. If you get the lavender Dr. Bronners you can layer that scent with peppermint or eucalyptus.
