We all have memories of our grandma’s good recipes or natural treatments. In my case, I relate oatmeal with my grandmother. She told me about the benefits of oatmeal as a great natural skin care treatment. We all know that an oatmeal plate is delicious and healthy, but this natural treat goes beyond that. Oatmeal has amazing skin benefits that you should start taking notes.
Here are four great oatmeal benefits you should start taking advantage.
1. Oatmeal has anti-inflammatory properties and is perfect for most skin types, even the most sensitive skin.
Yes, this is true! I usually have constant allergic reactions and oatmeal is my go to reliever. I simply mix ground oatmeal with a bit of water, wait a minute and apply it to my itchy skin. It’s amazing! It relieves my skin and reduces my itchiness. Oatmeal keeps my skin calm. Not only that, oatmeal reduces the redness.
2. Oatmeal helps remove dead stretch marks.
According to Psych Alive, a good oatmeal treatment is to take a fabulous shower with a loofah sponge and spread oatmeal flakes onto your body, especially the areas with stretch marks. Simply scrub break the oatmeal flakes as you go. This will establish a gritty, grainy oatmeal scrub that may break away dead skin cells. Rinse thoroughly after scrubbing, and be sure you apply a moisturizing lotion afterward to keep skin from over-drying.
Hey, we all want to get rid of those not appealing areas. It’s time to get started!
3. Oatmeal can help treat acne, eczema, rosacea and rashes.
Yes, yes, yes! As mentioned above, oatmeal has anti-inflammatory properties. It reduces your acne inflammations. We all have those days when we wake up to find a horrible zit on our face. You don’t have to buy tons of skin care products. Now you know you just have to walk a few steps, go to the kitchen and grab oatmeal. Don’t keep it a secret, tell your friends!
4. Oatmeal is known to have good exfoliating properties and this will help to get out the daily toxins off the skin.
Really, more goodness? Oatmeal is awesome.
