DIY Rose Milk Self-Love Bath Soak Recipe (2024)

What are the benefits of this bath soak?

Soaking in a bath is a great way to ground and warm the body. Besides just relaxing and relieving stress, adding this bath soak recipe to your nightly ritual will add much-needed aromatherapeutic herbs and minerals. These minerals and herbs help to relax, calm the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight response), and even relieve pain. The roses in this bath soak recipe help to show yourself some love, welcoming your body to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). Meanwhile, the Epsom salts help restore damaged skin and soothe muscle pain.

So, what makes this bath soak recipe fizz?

The secret ingredients to make this bath soak fizz are a little bit of citric acid and baking soda. Now before you think that doesn’t sound relaxing at all, citric acid is very beneficial for the skin! It’s not a lot and it’s a 100% natural ingredient found in citrus fruits. Combined with the baking soda and water, the bath will start to fizz and exfoliate your skin. It also adds that feeling of magic!
