Your skin craves oatmeal
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Sometimes I crave oatmeal and whip up a hot bowl with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries on top. Apparently, my skin craves the fiber-rich Super Food too.Oatmeal's grainy little flakes perform mini miracles when applied to skin, says RealAge. It whisks away dead cells, irritation, and redness and leaves skin soft and glowing. Hey, even the FDA says oatmeal is effective for relieving dryness and inflammation, including insect stings, rashes, and eczema. No wonder finely powdered (colloidal) oatmeal is used in body soaks, scrubs, moisturizers, and soaps.
New York City dermatologist Amy Wechsler, MD, recommends using a colloidal oatmeal mask every week or two. She offers her own body treatment recipe right here.
