Honey Hacks that Don't Involve Eating It

Episode 4: Bath Bombs

To get all-over silky-smooth skin, consider making a bath bomb or bath rocks. Here is a fabulous recipe by Abby Girl shared on food.com.

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup baking soda
  2. ½ cup citric acid
  3. ¼ cup cornstarch
  4. ¼ cup powdered milk
  5. 2 tsp. shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter, or avocado butter
  6. 1 tbsp. honey, warm
  7. 1 tbsp jojoba oil or olive oil
  8. 1 tsp essential oil of your choice

Instructions

  1. Gather and measure all ingredients before beginning. If making bath bombs be sure to have at least 2 sets of molds ready. Carefully measure wet ingredients. If you have too much you will end up with “slop” and will need to leave it loose to dry.
  2. In large bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, corn starch, and powdered milk.
  3. In small bowl, melt shea butter, warm honey and oils.
  4. Combine wet ingredients with dry. Mix well. Mixture should hold together when pressed into a ball.
  5. Working quickly, press the mixture FIRMLY into your mold, making sure the edges are clean. Leave the mixture in the mold for a couple of minutes, then pop it out. While one tray is drying, work on the other. Place a cookie sheet or cutting board over the mold, flip over, then lift the mold off.
  6. Let bath bombs dry overnight. Store in zipper bags or decorative tie bags.
