Even though winter is milder here in Southern California than in a lot of places, it still takes a toll on my skin. Believe it or not, we do turn on the heater every now and then especially in the chilly evenings. With spring around the corner, it’s time to start thinking or dreaming about shorts, flip flops and tank tops. 
Since we’re closing out February soon, now is the perfect time to start getting your skin ready for warm weather clothes. 
I made a batch of this Oatmeal Lavender Bath Soak to help scrub off some of that dry winter skin. This is super easy to make and since it’s all dry ingredients, it will keep forever. 
To make a batch, all you need is oatmeal, Epsom salts, lavender and corn starch. I used this recipe as a starting point and altered it slightly. - 1/2 cup Epsom Salts
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 2 Tablespoons corn starch
- Dried lavender
This bath soak would make a great gift. So while you’re making up a batch for yourself, make extra to package up and give away. You can package it in small mason jars or use little bits of fabric like I did.
I placed about a 1/4 cup of the bath soak in the middle of the fabric and simply tied it together with a piece of string. A vintage button dresses up the package and a simple homemade tag finishes it off. 
Yes, spring is around the corner but it’s still feeling very wintery for most of us. A nice hot soak with some Oatmeal Lavender Salts would feel wonderful. Are you as excited for spring as I am?
Thanks so much for stopping by.
What lovely little bath sachets! This is probably a dumb question, but I have never been one to mind asking about anything that I am not quite clear on, so here goes. I noticed you said this could scrub with this and use as a soak. Are the contents of the packet to be emptied out into the bath or left in the packet to dissolve into the bath water? Maybe either way? Thanks so much for your patience!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, Thank you so much for your comment. I designed these to be emptied into the bath and to be used as a scrub. So you can dump them in the water and soak or empty them onto a washcloth and scrub. Thanks again.
DeleteThis scrub would be so pretty in a glass jar on a bathroom counter! Beautiful!
