Materials

Instructions

  • Mix the powdered milk and Epsom salts together, and add 2–3 drops of red food coloring. Mix until you have a uniform pink color. If you don't care if it's pink or just don't want to use food coloring, it's totally fine to skip this.
    Rose milk bath
  • Then add the rose petals and 5–7 drops of essential oil. If you don’t have rose essential oil, you can skip it or use any other soothing essential oil you might have, like lavender or chamomile.
  • Then pour the milk bath into a bottle or sachet, and make a pretty gift tag for the lucky recipient.

Notes

If you’re making this for yourself (or are willing to add extra instructions to your gifted vials), it’s also a fantastic and super gentle body exfoliator. Use a handful at a time and rub anywhere that it’s needed, using gentle circular motions to increase blood flow.
