Lavender Oatmeal Bath Bomb Benefits
There are many benefits of lavender and oatmeal, but when combined, the possibilities are endless, and so are their benefits.

4. Improves Sleep
Waking up groggy is the worst feeling and way to start any day. To battle grogginess, it creates a relaxing ambience that lets you unwind and upgrade the quality of sleep you get. You can make it a warm bath to induce sleep faster.
5. Exfoliation
This recipe contains oatmeal, Epsom salt, and dried lavender flowers, which are coarse in nature and provide an extra kick of exfoliation. Meanwhile, water acts as a natural cleanser and cleanses the skin. All these factors contribute to the removal of dead skin cells.
