An indulgent and comforting facial scrub made with ground oats, Scottish Heather honey and organic vitamin E. Unscented. This facial scrub's amazing skin benefits!: - Oat skin benefits include moisturising dry skin by forming a protective barrier, soothing inflamed and irritated skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties, and gently exfoliating to remove dead skin cells. 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. Forms a protective barrier: The beta-glucans in oats create a protective layer that locks in moisture, which is especially helpful for dry, dehydrated skin. Soothing and anti-inflammatory: Reduces inflammation: Oats have anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritated skin. Relieves itching and redness: This makes it beneficial for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, and sunburn. 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. Protective and nourishing: Supports skin barrier: Oats help fortify the skin's barrier function, which helps defend it against environmental stressors. Rich in nutrients: They contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish the skin and can help protect against photoaging and sun damage. Other benefits: Balances oil production: Oats can help regulate sebum production, making them suitable for oily or acne-prone skin. Improves complexion: The nourishing ingredients in oats can contribute to a brighter complexion. - Heather (calluna vulgaris) has many potential benefits for the skin, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and antioxidant properties. Benefits: Anti-inflammatory: Heather contains flavonols and ursolic acid, which may help reduce inflammation. Anti-aging: Heather may help reduce the appearance of aging and improve skin elasticity. Antioxidant: Heather contains phenolic compounds that may help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Skin soothing: Heather may help soothe sensitive skin. Skin conditioning: Heather may help nourish and condition the skin. - Vitamin E provides skin benefits including hydration by strengthening the skin barrier, antioxidant protection against free radicals and sun damage, and anti-aging effects through collagen support and wrinkle reduction. It also offers anti-inflammatory properties to soothe irritation, aids in skin repair for scars and wounds, and can help reduce hyperpigmentation and improve overall skin tone. Antioxidant Protection: Fights free radicals: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, which are harmful molecules that can damage skin cells from exposure to UV radiation and pollution. Protects against sun damage: It can help prevent collagen breakdown and elastin destruction caused by UV rays and may enhance the protective effect of sunscreen. Moisturising and Hydration: Strengthens the skin barrier: Vitamin E enhances the skin's lipid barrier, allowing it to retain moisture more effectively and reduce water loss. Reduces dryness: This leads to better hydration, smoother texture, and relief from dryness and flakiness, making it especially good for dry or dehydrated skin. Anti-Aging and Repair: Promotes collagen production: It helps stimulate collagen and keratin production, which are vital for skin firmness and elasticity. Reduces signs of aging: By protecting cells and supporting collagen, it helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness. Aids in wound healing: Vitamin E can accelerate the healing of damaged skin, including cuts, minor burns, and scars. Soothing and Brightening: Calms inflammation: Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated skin, reducing redness and swelling. Improves skin tone: It can help reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots, contributing to a more even skin tone. Directions for Use: Wet your skin with warm water to open pores.
