DIY Almonds & Cream Bath Bags

Treat yourself to an invigorating soak in the tub

with a homemade bath bag.

Or make some to have on hand  to give as gifts to friends or family.

A adorable idea you can make for less than a dollar

that provides a relaxing and soothing bath.

Dress up this homemade bath product by scooping it into a

attractive cloth bags purchased at a craft store

or sew your own bags from scrap fabric.

DIY Almonds & Cream Bath Bags
½ Cup of Oatmeal {organic steel cut oats}
½ Cup of Powdered Milk
4 Tablespoons of Ground Almonds
½ Tablespoon of Almond Extract
5 Drops of Vanilla Extract

1. In a small bowl, combine oatmeal, powdered milk, and almond meal, stirring to mix well. Stir in the scents until blended well. Divide mixture among cloth bags, about 2 to 3 tablespoons per bag and tie them at the top.
2. When ready to use, simply throw a bag in your bath water, forget your troubles, and enjoy this natural bath treatment.
3. Keep the bags in a cool dark place until ready to use.

A natural milk and oatmeal bath soak is one of the most

enjoyable and therapeutic ways to relax.

Make some bath bags for the kiddos, replace the almond
and vanilla extract with lavender essential oil. 
Use their favorite kid friendly fabric print like, dora or dinos.
Great Mom tip, to keep the kids happy and clean at bath time.
If you wish to sew your own fabric bags, as I did.
Cut a fabric rectangle 8” x 3”, fold over to finished size of 4” x 3”
and sew up the sides. To close, tie with raffia or ribbon.
A milk bath leaves your skin feeling soft and supple.
The milk also helps exfoliate the skin for additional softness.
The lactic acid and fat in milk helps clean and soften the skin.

A oatmeal bath is fantastic for skin conditions

such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and sunburn;

skin benefits also include the soothing irritated skin  by bug bites.

Oatmeal also helps relieve dry and itching skin.

Almond meal is a wonderful source of Vitamin E which,

when used on the skin helps defend skin

against premature aging from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

I hope you’ll make some bath bags to use at home and love them as much as I do.
