Easy Lavender Milk Bath recipe with just a few natural ingredients in less than 3 minutes.
It may be spring, but around here, it’s the season of gift-giving. Mother’s Day, housewarming, and of course teacher appreciation to name a few. This milk bath is a beautiful homemade gift for any of the above!
Lavender Milk Bath is the perfect way to pamper those you love, or who love your children. I can only imagine how exhausted teachers are by May!
But let’s be honest, it’s all about relaxation. Everyone needs a little time to themselves! Sneaking away for a quiet bath is a rare luxury in this season of my life, but a gift I’m giving to myself this week as well!
This makes an excellent Mother’s Day gift! Check out this inspiring round-up of my favorite handmade Mother’s Day Gift Ideas.
Milk Bath is a great stand alone gift, but also fits beautifully in a basket with bath salts, sugar scrubs, room spray or hand soap as well.
This Lavender Milk Bath recipe requires just a few natural ingredients and only 2-3 minutes to mix and bottle making it a great last minute gift for yourself or others!

Hi made the Lavender milk bath,
It has a slightly dry milk smell is this normal.
I haven’t experienced that. It may be the dry milk you used. You can add more lavender oil if needed.
