If you are looking for a soothing and detoxing bath treatment that calms dry and itchy skin while also moisturising it, then you must try these Oatmeal Bath Melts.
In a small bowl, stir the bicarbonate of soda with the citric acid to combine.
In a microwaveable jug or bowl, add the shea butter and cocoa butter.
Heat the butters on high in 30 second intervals, stirring between each heat session until fully melted.
Once melted, slowly and carefully add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring the entire time. Do not add the mixture too quickly as it will cause the mixture to fizz, which will ruin it.
Set aside 1 Tablespoon of the oatmeal.
Gently stir the rest of the oatmeal into the mixture.
Divide the mixture between the mould cavities and sprinkle a small amount of the oatmeal that was set aside on the top.
Let sit in the mould until set before removing.
Store in an airtight container.
To use: Add one to two bath melts to your bath while the lukewarm water is running.
