DIY Oatmeal and Lavender Bath Soak

March 4, 2015

DIY Oatmeal and Lavender Bath Soak  simplyhappenstance.com #DIY #bath #moms #oatmeal #lavenderDIY // Oatmeal and Lavender Bath Soak

Yay… It’s mid-week! All I’m dreaming of is a little rest, relaxation, and a warm bath {alone} tonight! If you’re a mom, you’ll especially appreciate the “alone” part! Am I right? It seems that every time I draw a bath for myself, I have at least a couple of my kids come in, splash their hands in the water, and ask if they can take a bath. It’s far from relaxing! So tonight, my plan is to take a secret bath {when everyone falls asleep}, immersing my body in this simple DIY bath soak! 

I love a good bath soak, but they can be expensive to buy… and sometimes there are unwanted added ingredients. I first made this Oatmeal and Lavender mixture for my littlest guy, Finn, over Christmas. He had pneumonia and ended up with an itchy rash all over his body from an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. On Christmas morning, my heart was broken looking at his sweet face and little body. He was literally covered in an uncomfortable rash from head-to-toe. I decided to make my own bath soak to help soothe his skin and lift his spirits. It definitely did help, which is partly why I’m sharing it with you today!

I have since made this recipe a few times. I have used locally grown dried lavender, as well as, {kid-safe} lavender essential oil, from Plant Therapy. The bath soak has turned out great, regardless of which kind of lavender I have used. So my advice to you, is to use whatever you have on hand, or can find easily!

The ingredients are simple — oatmeal, baking soda, and lavender.

  • Oatmeal // fights dryness by leaving a protective layer on the skin. It cleanses, moisturizes and helps to maintain the skin’s natural barrier function. It also contains naturally occurring antioxidants that have been found to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. 
  • Baking Soda // Increases the pH of the skin, which soothes itchiness. 
  • Lavender //  Calming for the skin with healing properties for burns, scarring, skin irritations and eczema. It can help with stress, imbalances, and can aid you in winding down before bedtime.

In addition to using this DIY Bath Soak for you and your family… I also thought it would make a lovely gift!  Here are a few ways in which you could label a mason jar filled with the oatmeal + lavender mixture…

I made a simple tag using Picmonkey and attached the label to the jar using three methods: the lid to hold it in place, with bakers twine, and with colorful washi tape. It’s nothing fussy… just simple and sweet! 

I hope you enjoy the bath soak! Please let me know what you think after taking a long, soothing bath!

    I do accept as true with all the concepts you have introduced on your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very quick for novices. May you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
