Of course we all know that beauty is within, and doesn't come out of a bottle or a jar! A healthy diet is essential along with regular exercise combined with a good balance of R&R (rest and relaxation), not to mention pleanty of fresh air and those all important 8 glasses of water every day! However, natural treatments can help you to look and feel good! There is nothing like indulging in a heavely pampering of home made products, and even better when you know exactly what the ingredients are! Most of these recipes are so simple and fun to make that you can even get your children to help, and some of the ingredients can be found in your kitchen cupboard! Have fun!

Oatmeal & Milk Baths

Oatmeal and milk baths are beneficial for all skin types and are especially healing for dry or irritated skin. Oats are anti-inflammatory and ease itching, while whole milk is rich in fats that nourish and smooth dry skin. I find this very beneficial for my chavvie when her eczema flares up, and I usually add a few drops of tea tree essential oil, which is equally as effective for eczema.
