Oatmeal has earned quite a reputation for being a wonderful natural way to be able to help reduce and soothe problematic skin, and we thought we'd dig into why and how it helps!
How Does Oatmeal Help?
Colloidal oatmeal, or oatmeal that is ground into a very fine powder and mixed with liquid, is easily absorbed into the skin. But the main way that oatmeal helps to soothe the skin is that it binds to the skin in a way that creates a protective barrier. This helps to protect the skin from irritants, but will also hold in moisture and helps to reduce inflammation at the same time.
What Skin Issues Can Oatmeal Help With?
Oatmeal is good for many skin conditions as it helps to soothe and protect the skin. Symptoms like dry, flaky, cracked, and itchy skin can be helped with some simple oatmeal products. There are usually no side effects, and most people aren't allergic to oatmeal, so it's generally a safe method to try!
Using Oatmeal To Treat The Skin
Many people enjoy taking oatmeal baths, which are just what they sound like - putting oatmeal in your bath water and soaking in it to get some relief from dry and itchy skin. We also offer many oatmeal products such as our Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey Goat Milk Soap, OMH Goat Milk Lotion, OMH Goat Milk Whipped Body Butter, OMH Triple Milled Goat Milk Soap, and our OMH Facial Mask.
So if you are suffering from some dry, itchy, and/or cracked skin, maybe give a product with oatmeal in it a try and see if it offers you some relief!
