Homemade toiletries may seem complicated, but with a few ingredients and a stovetop, you can make luxurious spa-quality bath products in your own kitchen. When stored in beautiful (and airtight) glass jars, a DIY lotion, sugar scrub, or body wash can add a touch of cozy comfort to your bathroom. And don’t forget, homemade bath products make ideal gifts for housewarming celebrations, birthday parties, or as an unexpected hostess gift for the friend who has it all. Experiment with your favorite essential oils for a decadently personalized treatment.
