You don’t need fancy soaps and serums to create a luxurious and relaxing experience. This Lavender-Oatmeal Bath Soak is simple, inexpensive, and packed with amazing skin benefits.
Oats help soothe and repair dry, itchy, and irritated skin, making them a staple in many all-natural beauty products. Epsom salt helps relieve tension in muscles and Tea Tree offers all-natural, gentle cleansing. Lavender and Frankincense essential oils create a relaxing and spiritually uplifting atmosphere and can even help enhance the look of healthy skin.
DIY Lavender-Oatmeal Bath Soak Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup Epsom salt
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup baking soda
5 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
10 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
15 drops Lavender Essential Oil
Instructions:
Grind oats in a food processor or coffee grinder into a fine flour-like texture.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl until oils are evenly distributed.
Store in a glass jar and use about 1 cup of mixture per bath.
Pro Tip: Create a pouch for your mixture using a sock or pantyhose to reduce floating oatmeal flakes in your bath.
Foot Soak Adjustment: Use 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the mixture in a large basin of water.
