How to Mix Himalayan & Celtic Sea Salt Together

Mixing sea salts allows you to customize your home-spa experience.

Creating your own sea-salt blends gives you the ability to harness the various benefits believed to exist within them. When you make your own home spa products to pamper your skin, body and soul, you can enjoy a blend of mixed salts, such as Himalayan and Celtic varieties. Mixing these two types of sea salt isn't difficult and only takes a few minutes of your time, whether you're adding the salts directly to a foot soak, bath or spa mud recipe.

Things You'll Need

• 1 cup Himalayan sea salt
• 1 cup Celtic sea salt
• 16 oz. jar
• Disposable stirring wand
• Optional 1/8 tsp. essential oil

Instructions

1. Add a 1/2 cup of Himalayan sea salt to the 16 oz. jar.

2. Add a 1/2 cup of Celtic sea salt to the jar. Poke the disposable stirring wand into the jar and stir the contents thoroughly.

3. Layer another 1/2 cup of Himalayan sea salt on top of the mixed salt blend.

4. Layer the other 1/2 cup of Celtic salt on the pink Himalayan blend. Stir the contents around once more with the disposable stirring wand. This creates a 16 oz. blend of gray and pink sea salt.

5. Infuse up to a 1/8 tsp. of optional essential oil. This optional step allows you to add essential oils for aroma and skin-benefiting properties. For example, citrus scents are uplifting while floral scents are sensual.
