Make sure your bath is lukewarm—steaming hot water will irritate your skin.
Add oatmeal to the water.
Soak for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Soaking too long can actually do more harm than good.

“This could do the opposite of what [the oatmeal bath] is meant to do, drying out your skin and aggravating any skin condition.”

After bathing, you can pat your skin with a clean towel—apply moisturizer while your skin is still a bit damp. This works to seal in the moisture from the bath.
