Why Soak In A Citrus Bath? 

Citrus bath soaks are a popular winter tradition. I learned taking a citrus bath in The Land Of The Rising Sun, on the winter solstice holds a special place in Japanese culture.

It doesn’t take an astronomical event to have a reason to soak in a cheerful, revitalizing citrus bath. I’ve been making homemade bath salts for years and there are plenty of reasons to give a go! 

I’ll show you how to create homemade bath salts with citrus essential oils to detoxify and invigorate! An ideal recipe to feel refreshed when we need it most. 

What Citrus Essential Oils Are Good For Bath Salts?

The options may be plentiful, but it’s important to note that for skin care, it’s recommended to select oils that are gentle and suitable for topical use. That’s why I selected this blend of citrus essential oils, balanced by botanical notes for these homemade bath salts!

It’s this unique combination of energizing floral and citrus aromas that gives this bath salt blend a heartbeat. 

But, this citrus bath soak does more than smell amazing—it helps release tension, detoxify, and boost your mood! It’s like sunshine in a jar, and it’s so easy to make. Grab the full recipe below! 

I have to admit, it’s fun to experiment with different combinations to create your own bath salt blends!

(Remember, it’s a good idea to perform a patch test before using a new essential oil on your skin.)
