For me winter time is when my skin seems to get extremely dry. Even when I remember to lotion every day it doesn't seem to help as much as it should. I often mix this bath salt recipe up to help out the situation. You can use it in any season but I find myself making it the most often during the winter.
How To Make:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of baking soda
- 2/3 cup of dried milk
- 1 cup of
- Epsom salts
- 1 cup of sea salts
Directions:
I just mix them all together then add about a 1/2 cup or so to my bath water. If I don't have any sea salt then I use all Epsom salts, just so you use a 2 cup combination between the two.
I don't add any fragrance to this recipe since sometimes it can irritate dry skin, or even dry it out further depending on what you add to it.
One thing that adds to itchy dry skin in the winter is we tend to take hotter showers and baths than we do in the summer, you may consider lowering the temperature a bit to help your skin out as well.
To really help out your skin continue to use lotion as normal, I often use a more moisturizing type of lotion when my skin is dry then the ones that include my favorite fragrances.
