RED WINE AND HONEY BATH
The Spa at Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa
Asheville, N.C.

The red wine and the honey together clarify and moisten. 

Add to bath:
4 cups of the cheapest red wine available
1 cup of honey

1 cup of fine grade oil (consider sesame, olive, apricot, or avocado oil)
1 cup of mild shampoo or liquid castile soap
1/2 tsp. of  fragrance oil or essential oil of your choice

This is easy but indulgent soak which is ideal for winter dry skin. Combine all of your ingredients in a clean bottle or jar.  Shake vigorously before each use, and dispense one to two tablespoons into your rapidly running bath water.  You'll find the addition of mild shampoo helps to both emulsify and disburse the oil liberally throughout the bath water, for even distribution and coverage on your skin --- instead of the tub.

Natural Bath Recipes:
RAINBOW FRUITY BATH SALTS

3 quarts of Epsom salts or course sea salts
3 envelopes unflavored unsweetened Kool-Aid powder (one each of three different colors)
3-4 drops of scented Essential Oils which compliment the flavors of Kool-Aid you have chosen (Orange oil with orange Kool-Aid, Lavender Oil with Grape Kool-Aid, Peppermint Oil with strawberry Kool-Aid, etc)

Mix one envelope of Kool-aid to 1 quart salts in three separate bowls.  Add 3-4 drops of essential oils to each of the three bowls, in a scent which coordinates with the color.  Alternate colored layers in a glass or plastic container.  To use, add 1/2 to 1 cup salts per bath.  No, the Kool-Aid will NOT stain your skin or tub, as it will be in fairly small concentrations, but, your white towels are another matter!  Careful!
