Dry skin here is a tip to help

Here is an idea for dry skin combine 1 cup oatmeal, 1 cup warm water, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup baking soda in a blender or food processor until you have a smooth paste.

Pour this paste under the running water while drawing the bath. Very soothing to dry, itchy skin.

I guess I'll just have to try and see Comments By: yeah right on 2004-11-03 It sounds like a great idea. Very and extremely refreshing. I'm just a little concerned, because in all of these tips and recipes: oatmeal, vaseline, or baking soda is almost always mentioned. What's in them that does the job for everything?   What's so great about baking soda? Comments By: yeah right on 2004-11-03 Good grief, you need a whole half-a-cup of baking soda to make the mixture. What's so great about it anyway. In almost all of the tips recommended on this site, either baking soda, vaseline, or oatmeal is recommended. I do have to admit that it does sound very refreshing, though   Baking Soda?
