It's also rich in antioxidants, helps with redness and itching, and can support the skin's natural defences, making it suitable for conditions like eczema and acne. Moisturising and hydrating: Retains moisture: Oats act as a humectant, attracting moisture to the skin.

Gentle cleansing and exfoliation: Mildly exfoliates: Finely ground oatmeal can gently slough away dead skin cells, dirt, and oil to reveal smoother, softer skin without causing irritation. Cleanses naturally: Oats contain saponins, which are natural compounds with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, allowing them to cleanse the skin gently.
