How To Make Use Of Oatmeal For Skin?

July 14, 2012

Oatmeal is considered brilliant for health and beauty. It is rich in antioxidants and minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Oatmeal works as a natural skin cleanser, especially for sensitive skin. In fact, you can use it as a mild soap.

Moreover, it relieves itching and soothes minor irritation. Ground oatmeal also has abrasive quality, thereby making it perfect for skin exfoliation.

It can be used on your body as well as face. In addition, application of oatmeal remedies can help cure rosacea, eczema, and skin rashes.
