Remember all those little tricks your mom tried to make you feel better when you had the Chicken Pox? Well, I do! And it might be tmi, but I loved those oatmeal baths way back when. Of course I hated eating oatmeal, but I sure did love soaking in it.

For those of you who are a little behind on the times, oatmeal baths soothe dry, itchy skin. And let’s be honest, they just feel great in general.

I know most of you don’t have time to soak in steaming hot, oatmeal baths everyday (how nice does that sound right now, though?), so I present you with Trader Jacques Oatmeal Exfoliant.

You will probably better recognize Trader Jacques if I tell you it is actually Trader Joes…cute-little-fancy-French name, right?

The Oatmeal Exfoliant bar can be found at your local Trader Joes for only $2.99. I use this bar in the shower instead of body wash and get the soothing properties of oatmeal and an exfoliant all-in-one!

P.S. — The exfoliant in this bar is actually flakes of oatmeal!

If you can’t enjoy the real deal, try the next best thing!
