Essential oils can help you take bathtime to the next level and experience deep relaxation.

Mixing Essential Oils Into Your Bath

When it comes to mixing your own essential oils in the bath, it’s important to include a carrier oil.

Carrier oils are diluted to ensure that more concentrated essential oils don’t irritate the skin. Vegetable, grapeseed, jojoba, almond, and argan oil can be great carriers to add to your bath.

You can blend 5 to 20 drops of essential oils with a tablespoon of carrier oil. 

Once it’s all mixed, you may add it to your skin before getting in the bath. Or drop it right into the water and start unwinding!
