Oatmeal Bath

 Winter is hard on the skin. Soothe your dry, itchy skin with DIY oatmeal bath. An oatmeal bath is simple. It hydrates dry skin and offers relief from eczema. We recommend an oatmeal bath for skin condition. You can make your own at home for less than a dollar. All you need is quick or instant oats, just make sure they are unflavored. For a full bath all you need is 1 cup full of oatmeal. blend up the oats into powder. Then pour the oatmeal into a tub of running warm water and stir the water with your hands several times to ensure even distribution. Soak in the tube for 15 to 20 minutes. Remember this bath is not to clean your skin but to moisturize and soothe the skin, so avoid using soaps. 

Skin conditions soothed by oatmeal baths:

Acne, rash, dry skin, eczema, insect bites, poison ivy, oak, sumac, shingles, sunburn, and windburn. 

I understand some people don't have a bath tube. I don't have a bath tube, I put the oats in a old sock and rub that all over my skin with warm water running down in the shower. It works all the same. Soaking would be nice but you do what you have to. When it comes to your skin you do what you need to. I have eczema somedays it can be bad but the the oatmeal works for my skin.
