Hey there, Psoriasis Warriors! It's your Psoriaguy again. Today, we're embarking on a DIY journey that will leave your skin feeling calm and soothed. Baths have been a tried and true method for psoriasis relief, and with the right ingredients, you can elevate your bath time into a healing experience. I'm thrilled to share this recipe for a psoriasis-friendly bath soak that uses easily accessible, skin-loving ingredients.
The Ingredients You'll Need
Here's what you'll need for our DIY psoriasis bath soak:
Epsom Salt: 1 cup
Himalayan Pink Salt: 1/2 cup
Colloidal Oatmeal: 1/2 cup (you can make your own at home by blending natural rolled oats to a fine powder)
Aloe Vera Powder: 1 tablespoon
Essential Oils (Lavender, Tea Tree, and/or Chamomile): 10-15 drops in total
Why These Ingredients?
Each ingredient in this recipe is chosen for its unique skin-soothing properties:
Epsom Salt: Rich in magnesium, Epsom salt can help to reduce inflammation and soothe itchy skin.
Himalayan Pink Salt: Known for its detoxifying properties, it can also provide essential minerals that are beneficial for your skin health.
Colloidal Oatmeal: This is an excellent ingredient for soothing irritated and itchy skin, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Aloe Vera Powder: Known for its healing and hydrating properties, aloe vera can help to soothe and moisturize the skin.
Essential Oils: Lavender, tea tree, and chamomile essential oils are renowned for their soothing and calming properties on the skin. They can also add a lovely, relaxing aroma to your bath.
Creating Your Psoriasis-Friendly Bath Soak
Mix the Salts and Oatmeal: In a large bowl, combine your Epsom salt, Himalayan pink salt, and colloidal oatmeal. Stir until they are thoroughly mixed.
Add the Aloe Vera Powder: Sprinkle in your aloe vera powder and stir until it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Incorporate the Essential Oils: Now, add your chosen essential oils. Stir the mixture again to ensure the oils are evenly distributed. Remember to stick to 10-15 drops in total to avoid potential skin irritation.
Store Your Soak: Transfer your completed bath soak into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. This will keep your soak fresh and ready for use!
Taking Your Psoriasis-Friendly Bath
To use, simply pour a generous amount of your psoriasis-friendly bath soak into warm (not hot) running water. Then, sink into the tub, and let these soothing ingredients work their magic on your skin.
Always remember to patch test any DIY skincare product to ensure it doesn't irritate your skin. Everyone's skin is different, so what works for some may not work for others.
