HOW TO USE:
Drop one bag in your bath water and enjoy! As the oats absorb water, they will release a wonderfully calming milky fluid into your bath. It is also beneficial to gently rub the oatmeal bag over any area of your skin that is irritated. After bathing, pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer. These are single use tea bags, just toss the bag into the garbage.
STORAGE:
It is best to store your Oatmeal Bath Baths in an air tight container such as a glass jar with a cover, re-seal-able tin, or a zip lock bag. This will help retain the therapeutic and aromatic oils.
