Itchy Skin Relief

Skincare Tip

I don't think there is anything worse than itchy skin, but luckily there are some simple treatments. Here's a simple solution to itchy skin.

1. Pour one cup of apple cider vinegar into a tub of warm water. The itchiness should be calmed down nicely.

2. Oatmeal is often an ingredient in bath products and its ability to soothe itchy skin is one of the reasons.

3. Does anyone remember Calamine Lotion? I was a child who contantly found every clump of poison ivy and this lotion often came to my rescue.

4. Sometimes all it takes is an application of an unscented lotion to cool the itch.

5. Did you know that wet baking soda will also stop an itch in its tracks? There is simply something about the cold, wet soda that always does the trick.
