Its almond oil will moisturize and nourish the skin, while the sweet and sensual aroma of ylang-ylang will cheer you up in seconds. Few guess how easy it is to make a bubbling geyser for a bath with your own hands. Meanwhile, its composition is so simple that any housewife in the kitchen has the right ingredients. The main thing is not to forget about the proportions and monitor the lack of moisture throughout the entire working process. To prepare a geyser, you must:
1 part of base oils (almond, coconut, olive, burdock, linseed, etc.)
2 parts filler (herbs, sea salt, clay, cream, etc.)
2 parts citric acid
4 parts baking soda
2-3 drops of essential oil
2-3 drops of food coloring
So, we will prepare everything you need for work:

2. The above ingredients. In this workshop, almond oil and ylang-ylang ether were used.
3. Tablespoon
4. Mold for making geysers

The consistency of both mixtures should be identical and resemble wet sand. When compressed in a fist, the mixture should not lose shape.

We take one of the halves of the mold and begin to stack our color mixes one by one, carefully pressing them with your fingers. It is important to compact the mixture tightly into the mold, otherwise the geyser may simply fall apart.
