It's so crazy what some companies charge for sea salts in pretty packages. I would imagine some are actually higher quality than what I buy. But I think it's mostly marketing and presentation. I've found that I can find high-quality salts in bulk for soooooo much less so I don't bother with the "designer" stuff. If I want it to look pretty, whether in the kitchen or bath, I buy my own pretty containers! ❤ Gail, you’re so welcome! It’s so crazy what some companies charge for sea salts in pretty packages.

I will have to look for the bulk sea salts. Except for the rare occasion, I quit buying salts that are already "prepared" - just too costly. Thanks so much Sonja!

They worked so much better than stuff I've used in the past. ❤ Vintage_mck, thanks for the tip! I've not used their masks but I definitely like many of their products. My one concern though is that they still use parabens and I've been trying to steer clear of those when possible, which is easier these days than it used to be but still a challenge. I love that Body Deli's are incredibly natural. ❤ Gail, I definitely mix the oils in first so that I don't have little oil globs in the water. It's important with essential oils, because they're very concentrated. I make bath salts in batches that are enough for a few baths, because I don't feel like mixing up a batch for each and every bath (I'm lazy, too, and just wanna relax!). I use sea salts that I buy in bulk at health food stores (much more economical that way). I mix in a few drops of essential oils and a bit of jojoba oil or other natural oil. Grapeseed oil is also good. ❤ Ashe Mischief, I’ve used a lot of masks and was so impressed with these. They worked so much better than stuff I’ve used in the past.

I have a question on something other than the masks, but a topic you touched on. Can I ask what your recipe is for mixing your own bath salts? I usually just pour epsom salts in the water then add drops of essential oil, but I've been told you need to mix the oils with the salts first so they disperse properly (of course, this is more work, but its not THAT much more work and I'd hate to lose out on any benefits because I'm lazy!). Thanks Sonja. Mmmm, these sound delish!
