- To Make: Run a cool-warm bath, not hot. The cooler, the better, but it
should be warm enough to sit in for at least 10 minutes. Place the yogurt
and baking soda in a bowl and mix well with a fork. Stir in the essential
oil. Apply the cool yogurt mixture to your skin from head to toe. Place
the lavender buds inside of the cheesecloth to form a loose sachet,
leaving room for the water to flow through and the buds to plump in the
bath water. Tie closed with a string and put it into the tub. - To Store: Make fresh for each use.
- To Use: When the tub is full, get in and let the relaxation begin. The
yogurt mask will dissolve off of your body and mingle with the lavender,
creating a milky, moisturizing, relaxing elixir for mind, body, and spirit.
Use the lavender sachet as a soothing wash bag by filling with water and
squeezing out over your sore, sunburned skin. Use it as a spot treatment
and compress. Place the cucumber slices over your eyes or directly on
sunburned areas as a cooling anti-inflammatory treatment. Leave the
yogurt on your face for up to 15 minutes. Drain the tub and rinse off with
a quick shower. Gently towel dry and generously moisturize while your
skin is still damp.
