Lush inspired bath bombs

​.

I have a slight obsession with homemade bath products. When I see all the fabulous bath bombs at Lush I can’t help but think of how I can make a batch of them myself. I believe I’ve come up with the perfect recipe to turn you into a DIY bath bomb expert in no time flat!

You deserve to enjoy a relaxing bath without spending a ton on a bath bomb…trust me, you won’t know the difference between these and the expensive ones at the mall. Personalize them with your favorite essential oils. I made these using lavender, lemon and peppermint to help with allergies {and smell amazing}!

• Add Almond Oil and your essential oils to a small container and mix well.

• Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.

• Slowly add the oils to your dry ingredients mixing as you go. Take your time because you don’t want it lumpy. I used a mixture of oils that help with allergy problems…we need it around here!

• Add the food coloring while mixing.

• Spray your mixture 5-10 times while mixing until it resembles the texture of damp sand that sticks together. You might need to spray it a few more times to get it just right.

• Add a heaping amount of your bath bomb mixture to your mold. I’m using a mini tart tin…I love these! You just want to make whatever you use is not too shallow or your bath bomb will break easily.

• Press the mixture into the mold. Add a bit more to the top and press it all over again. This will make a very solid bath bomb.

• Lightly mist the top of your bath bombs with alcohol. I usually only spray one or two times and then press it down again. If you spray too much your bath bomb with start to bubble!

• Let it dry for at least 15 minutes.

• Flip your mold over and lightly tap the mold with your spoon. This will usually cause the bath bomb to pop right out, so be ready.

• Mist the top of your bath bomb with alcohol.

• Let it dry overnight.
