Baking soda is one of the best dissolve-ability removers. Simply scrub away dry skin and calluses with baking soda and get smooth glowing skin. You can also use it on your pet’s fur.
castor oil is one of the richest oils for the hair and has been used by women for many years. castor oil is excellent for both your skin and your heart because it contains natural fatty acids. The natural fat acids will keep your heart healthy and your skin and hair healthy.
Epsom salt is one of the best ways to clean the body of toxins. toxins are the cause of much of our health problems. pure salt is the easiest way to get rid of toxins. Epsom salt is also great for detoxing your body.
Citric acid is alkaline. It dissolves dirt and oils better than either baking soda or sea salt. It is a healthy way to purify water.
Essential oils are the scents that give bath bombs the smell. You can use any essential oil you like. The scents give off a stimulating effect.
Plastic bowl with lid
Make a Plastic bowl with a lid. Fill it up with hot water (and mix in some baking soda) until it’s just above room temperature. (A bowl that washer for a while when it was warm enough may be a good idea.)
If baking soda is not available, you can use 3/4 teaspoon citric acid in place of baking soda.
Put a drop of bath oil onto a clean nail.
Push the bath bomb onto your skin. Make sure any excess shows on the skin.
Hold your skin firmly.
Hold your hands firmly, and burn!
