Simple Powder
1/2 cup cornflour
1/2 cup rice flour
Mix together in a pretty jar or plastic bag until the powder is well mixed.
Apply with a shaker-type container or from a jar using a powder puff.

Scented Bath Powder

1 cup baking soda
1 cup cornstarch
10-20 drops of rose essential oils (or essential or fragrance oil of your choice)
Combine the baking soda and cornstarch in a big glass jar.
Add the essential oil, a few drops at a time, shaking very well after each addition.
(You can use a small wire whisk or fork to get out any clumps.) Test the scent of the bath powder after each addition to get a powder that's perfectly scented for you.
(Some people like a strongly scented product, others like a very subtle scent- it's up to you!) Allow the powder to sit for about a day before using, to let the fragrance or essential oil completely absorb.

Bath Salts-In a large bowl, mix to combine: 6 parts coarse sea salt; 3 parts epsom salts, to soothe tired muscles and reduce inflammation; and 1 part baking soda, to soften waters and alleviate skin irritation. Add a few drops of essential oils, and combine. Add a few drops of food coloring, until you achieve the desired shade. If you intend to present the bath salts as gifts, be sure to store them in a stoppered and labeled container to keep out moisture.
