Homemade Bubble Bath Recipes
My friends proved to me that making your own bubble bath is not difficult and I guarantee that you’ll be pleased with the results. The inexpensive ingredients can be found in most large grocery stores or health food stores. And, one of the benefits of making your own bubble bath is that if you are allergic to anything, you can be certain not to include it.
Ingredients and their properties
- Castille soap is used to soften and moisturize the skin, its made from 100% Olive Oil. Liquid glycerin, a by-product of soap making, is another skin moisturizer. Also note that i you can’t find unscented shampoo, you can use a mild baby shampoo in its place.
- Coconut oil has a nutty and floral fragrance and almond oil is virtually unscented. Adding a half a cup of either one to your bubble bath will soften your skin.
- Essential oils are stored in special cells, ducts, or glandular hairs that are distributed among the roots, leaves, bark, stems, and flowers of the plant. Some sort of an essential fragrance oil is one of the main ingredients in a homemade bubble bath.
- Some essential oils are relaxing and soothing. They include lavender, sandalwood, marjoram, frankincense, myrrh, rosewood and chamomile. They will help relaxing you and help you drop off to sleep. Other essential oils uplift and energize. They include peppermint, spearmint, eucalyptus and lemon oil. Some essential oils have therapeutic effects. For example, eucalyptus oil will break up congestion if you have a cold.
Here are my recommended homemade bubble bath recipes.
