Homemade Oatmeal Bath With Rose Buds and Lavender

How To Make An Oatmeal Bath

Like I said at the beginning of this post, you are free to leave out the lavender or rosebuds, or you can replace them with your favorite dried flowers.

Also, you can use way less Epsom salt and baking soda if you like.

One more thing, this recipe can be doubled or cut in half.

Just make it your way, and have fun.

Ingredients

• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1/2 cup Epsom salt
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 1 tbsp. lavender
• About 12 rosebuds
• Lavender essential oil

Tools

• Blender or food processor
• A bowl, and a spoon
• A medium mason jar with a lid
• or any container with an airtight lid.

Directions

• Add 1 cup of oatmeal into a blender and blend into a fine consistent flour, and pour it into a wide bowl,
• Next, add the baking soda, Epsom salt, lavender, and crush some rosebuds into the mixture,
• Then follow with a few drops of essential oil, and mix with a spoon or fork.
• Scoop your homemade oatmeal bath milk into a clean container and store it in a cool dry place.

How To Use Oat Milk Bath

• Pour the homemade oatmeal into running bath water, and stir to distribute it evenly and to break up any lumps.
• Now if your oatmeal is not finely ground, you can add it into a small silk drawstring bag, and steep it in your bathwater.
• Soak in your homemade oatmilk bath for about 15 minutes or longer. I’d stay until the water is not so warm anymore, because I enjoy long baths.
• Be careful when stepping out of your bathtub because oatmeal bathwater are more slippery than regular soap baths.
• Make sure to use light moisturizer after soaking in an oatmeal bath. But if you prefer not to, that’s okay.

Benefits of oatmeal baths

• Oatmeal is emollient, so it soothes and draws moisture to outer layer of the skin.
• It also relieves sunburn, eczema and so many other skin irritations in both adults and babies.
