    1. Homemade Bath Salts Are Trending—But Not for Everyone

    Meghan Markle’s homemade bath salt mixture, shared on her lifestyle program With Love, Meghan, has generated a lot of buzz—some positive, some negative.

    2. Why People Love Bath Salts—and What They Can Do

    Bath salts aren’t new-fashioned—they’ve been around for centuries to relax sore muscles and soothe the mind. Epsom salt, often an ingredient, contains high levels of magnesium and can potentially ease inflammation and tension.

    A warm salt bath can increase circulation, moisturize your skin, and even serve as a gentle exfoliant. Some people find that soaking relaxes them and improves their sleep. It’s a simple way to introduce a bit of peace and comfort into your life.

    3. What’s Really in Meghan’s Bath Salt Recipe?

    Meghan’s blend contains Epsom salt, pink Himalayan salt, arnica oil, lavender oil, and dried flowers such as rose petals. Each adds something to the mix:

    • Epsom salt relaxes muscles.
    • Pink Himalayan salt is thought to decrease inflammation.
    • Arnica oil is commonly used for bruises or sore muscles, but may irritate if overused, or if you have allergies to plants such as ragweed.
    • Essential oils, such as lavender, are pretty and relaxing, but they’re also one of the leading causes of skin allergies.
    • Dried flowers create a spa-like atmosphere, yet have more visual than therapeutic benefits.

    4. The #1 Rule for Safe Bath Salts: Dilute, Dilute, Dilute

    One frequent error? Placing essential oils straight into bath salts or bathwater without adequately diluting them first. Dermatologists warn that unaltered oils may sit on the surface of the water and directly land on your skin, causing irritation or allergic reactions, particularly if you have sensitive skin or ailments such as eczema.

    To be safe, mix the essential oils with a carrier oil (such as coconut, jojoba, or sweet almond oil) before incorporating them into your blend. Most experts agree that if you use them sparingly and properly diluted, most essential oils are safe for the typical individual. Just be careful—and err on the side of caution, if unsure, omit or cut back.

    5. A Safer DIY Bath Salt Recipe You Can Try at Home

    Want to create your calming bath soak? Here’s an easy and skin-nice formula:

    • 1 cup Epsom salt
    • 1 cup sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
    • 1 tablespoon carrier oil
    • 10–15 drops of an essential oil (such as lavender, eucalyptus, or orange)
    • Optional: dried flowers, herbs, or a tablespoon of baking soda for added skin softness

    Combine everything in a dry, clean bowl and keep it in an airtight container. That’s all you need to do—you’re set for your next self-care time.

    6. Who Needs to Use Caution With Bath Salts

    Bath salts are fine for most individuals, but not for everyone. If you have:

    • Diabetes
    • Broken or open skin
    • Sensitive skin or allergies
    • History of sensitivity to Arnica or essential oils

    …it’s best to check with your doctor before soaking. If you’re trying a new mix, do a quick patch test first to make sure your skin doesn’t react.

    7. Soak It In—But Pay Attention to Your Skin

    There’s something utterly comforting about a warm bath after a long day. It makes you wind down, relax tense muscles, and hit pause on the madness. It turns out some Japanese studies have even correlated regular warm baths with a lower risk of heart disease and stroke. The secret is to use a formula that suits your skin, keeping it simple and risk-free, and always tuning in to how your body feels.

    Done correctly, a homemade bath salt soak is not only relaxing—it’s a minor exercise in self-kindness. And with the busy world we live in today, that’s something we could all do with a bit more of.
