Optional - Add the essential oils: While continuing to whisk, add 3 to 5 drops of essential oil and continue to whisk until blended.

Let the powder sit overnight: Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let the powder sit overnight so that the moisture in the essential oil can evaporate. If opting not to use essential oil, skip this step and go straight to step 4.

Store in an airtight container: Whisk the mixture once more to make sure the essential oil is evenly dispersed and then transfer to an airtight shaker. A clean, unused salt shaker works well, as does a cute canister and puff combo.
