I promised to share a new frugal tip with you today. The long winter month with dry air always do quite a number on my skin. Before I'm ready to head outside in a shirt or shorts, it takes a little TLC to go from dry, itchy and flaky to smooth and healthy looking.

Today I thought I'd share one of my favorite (and a very frugal) dry winter skin treatments with you. It's very simple. Take 1 cup of baking soda and 1/4 cup of baby oil and add it to a warm bath. Relax and soak in the bath for 20 minutes. If you have very dry skin, apply some lotion or coconut oil to your damp skin after the bath.

The baking soda soothes the skin and the baby oil moisturizes while you soak. Baking soda is also great for detoxing your body. Taking a bath in this mixture once a week will do wonders to restore your skin. And who doesn't love an excuse to take a nice, relaxing bath.
