With the holidays just around the corner it is time to start focusing on gift giving. Every year I have a number of people on my list that are kind of hard to shop for so I usually try to find something that will help them take care of themselves. Self care is important for everyone and I find that most of the time the people that truly need self care are the ones that never take time to relax and find a good balance of me time. Add the craze of the holidays and that balance is no where to be found!
Now, I am a person that loves to creative DIY gifts for the holidays too. Once I knew about this line of oils I started thinking about what kinds of salt scrubs I could make with the oils. One of my favorite scents is Chamomile because of the soothing, calming and nurturing scent. It is perfect for any occasion when you want to unwind and relax.
Make Your Own Chamomile Calming Salt Scrub
Materials:
Glass container that seals (any size)
2 cups Epsom Salt
1 cup Course Sea Salt
2 TBSP Sweet Almond Oil
1/2 cup Oil (you can use coconut, olive, peanut) I used coconut
15 drops Chamomile Blended Essential Oil
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl combine the Epsom Salt and Sea Salt. Mix well.
2. Add in the Oils and mix well, make sure all salt is covered in oil.
3. Add the Chamomile oil and mix well.
4. Add a couple drops of food coloring to create your perfect tint of color. Mix well.
5. Carefully pour your salt scrub into your container. Enjoy!
Pretty simple right? A great way to make multiple DIY gifts for friends or family. My plan is to make a few different scents like Lavender and Peppermint and then create a gift set with the diffuser and a few oils for them as well. This gift basket will be a gift of relaxation and self care!

Wow, this really resonate with me! Lately, I have been having anxiety attacks and just the other day a friend of mine mentioned using Chamomile to help calm and relax me. I am going to make my own batch and add a few different oils to my scrub base. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe, these will make great gifts also.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love chamomile tea and never heard of chamomile essential oils. This DYI salt scrub looks like something I would love and would be a terrific gift. Perfect timing!
I love salt scrub recipes! They are so easy to make and worth every second it takes to make them! I love chamomile and have the essential oil on hand! Going to make some for the weekend and relax!
I always wondered how people made these themselves and now I know! Thank you for sharing this recipe because I am going to try this out myself now! I love being able to give things like this as a gift!
I love homemade gift- both giving and receiving. Salt scrub is such a great self care gift and perfect for anyone who wants to relax. And the smell of chamomile is one of my all time favorites.
I will have to make this Chamomile Calming Salt Scrub. I have everything I need except the coarse sea salt. I think this scrub would help my kiddo and me.
I love that beautiful blue color and I bet this smells amazing. I am making a bunch of beauty gifts for friends tomorrow. I will see if I can get all of the ingredients tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!
