This typically involves cleansers, toners, moisturizers, lotions, oils, and more. It\u2019s interesting that some people don\u2019t recognize that their bathing routine plays a large role in the overall health and appearance of their skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People buy store bought soaps, body washes, and shampoos because it\u2019s convenient to do so. Some of the smells are enchanting, but you can\u2019t smell the chemicals that damage the skin. The problem with most commercial body washes is the ingredient list. The long list of ingredients often contains some of the following, hard-to-pronounce ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Ammonium laureth sulfate<\/li><li>Glycolic acid<\/li><li>Methylparaben<\/li><li>Urea<\/li><li>Alpha hydroxy acid<\/li><li>Triethanolamine<\/li><li>Triclosan<\/li><li>Cocamidopropyl betaine<\/li><li>Disodium cocoamphodiacetate<\/li><li>Salicyclic acid<\/li><li>Phenoxyethanol<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And those are just some of the harmful ingredients! Now, we do have one disclaimer: an ingredient with a complex name isn\u2019t always bad for you. That doesn\u2019t mean you need to trust these chemical soaps, though. In fact, we recommend that you avoid them and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diy-4-ingredient-body-wash-to-soothe-the-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create your own homemade body wash<\/a>. You\u2019ll know exactly which ingredients are benefitting and nourishing your skin. We\u2019ve highlighted two excellent ingredients from the body wash in this article below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This classic superfood <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/colon-digestive-tract-p-21.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">does wonders for your digestive system<\/a>, but it\u2019s also great for your skin. You can incorporate oats into scrubs, masks, bath soaks, soaps, and more! If you have dry skin, the lipids and proteins in oats help to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diy-moisturizer-with-anti-aging-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">provide optimal moisture<\/a>. Oats also have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce itchiness, which is beneficial for people with eczema or psoriasis. Since you will be incorporating oats into your body wash, you should know that oats have powerful cleansing properties. Oats contain saponin, which works to wash away impurities and re-mineralize the skin without wiping away essential nutrients. Finally, oats help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/coffee-sugar-scrub-to-exfoliate-your-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strip away dead skin cells<\/a> to help you achieve a rejuvenated, vibrant complexion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avocado Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like oats, avocado oil is both beneficial to include in your diet and your skin care routine. Rich in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/vitamin-a-p-253.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamins A<\/a>, D, &amp; E, omega-3 fatty acids, lecithin, and potassium, avocado oil helps to moisture the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis. These nutrients are easily absorbed, which helps your skin retain moisture for a lot longer. Avocado oil is also similar to oats in that it has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflamed skin. Be it acne or some sort of redness associated with eczema, avocado oil can help hydrate the skin, calm it, and leave it feeling refreshed. The best part is that there is no oily residue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY Oatmeal Lavender Body Wash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>3 cups filtered water<\/li><li>1\/4 cup rolled oats<\/li><li>1\/4 cup liquid Castile soap<\/li><li>6-12 drops lavender essential oil<\/li><li>1 teaspoon vitamin E oil<\/li><li>2 teaspoons avocado oil<\/li><li>Foaming dispenser<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Pour the water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat.<\/li><li>Add the oats to a heat-safe glass bowl and pour the boiling water over the oats. Let this sit for about one to two hours before straining the water to remove the oats. Make sure you save the water and discard the oats.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Pour the Castile soap, lavender essential oil, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/vitamin-e-oil-p-634.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamin E oil<\/a>, and avocado oil in a small bowl and whisk to combine.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Add enough of the soap\/oil mixture to fill about 10-15% of your soap dispenser. Pour the oatmeal water into the dispenser until it\u2019s almost full.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Screw on the top and you\u2019re good to soap!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Give your skin the gift of hydration when you swap your chemical-ridden body wash with this DIY oatmeal lavender soap. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":123203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,53],"tags":[7004,8306,1995,8362,2295,2301,2410,2436,2501,2584,2879,2928,3333,3692,3972,3973,4473],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>DIY Oatmeal Lavender Body Wash - Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies &amp;
