diy: lavender oatmeal bath

August 6, 2020/

lavender oatmeal bath is the easy diy your summer skin needs!

Everyone always complains about winter skin – dry, chapped, irritated. I don’t know, for me it’s summer skin that’s the problem. Between the heat, humidity, sand and salt water, by mid-summer my skin is crying for help.

Hello, help!

This oh-so-easy oatmeal bath is incredibly soothing and fragrant – perfect for skin that needs a little TLC, or frankly just an anytime spa experience.

Here’s why these ingredients create such a winning recipe when combined in a bath soak:

Baking soda: reduces skin irritation and itching, and provides detoxifying benefits

Epsom salt: long known for its skin soothing properties

Oatmeal: dry, itchy skin often has a high pH level which oats can normalize. Oats are also rich in saponins which provide a moisturizing and soothing effect.

Lavender: soothes inflammation and has analgesic, pain-relieving properties

Keep a jar of this by your bathtub, or bring it to a friend for a sweet, pampering gift!

Lavender Oatmeal Bath

1 1/2 cups quick oats
1 cup epsom salt
1/2 cup baking soda
30 – 40 drops Lavender essential oil

Process the oats in a food processor till it’s as fine as flour. Transfer to a bowl and add the epsom salt and baking soda. Add the Lavender oil and mix thoroughly. Transfer to an airtight jar. Use 1/2 – 1 cup per bath.
