Oatmeal for smooth skin: fantastic properties
1. Cleansing
Oatmeal is a natural ingredient that you can use to cleanse your skin. With an oatmeal soap you will remove all signs of impurities, just by absorbing it. It prevents residues from accumulating in the pores, and cleanses them deeply and exceptionally. The most interesting thing is that you want to balance the structure of the skin, and take a bath on the pH balance thanks to proteins that oatmeal contains.
2. Avoid dry and dehydrated skin
Oatmeal will provide skin moisture, and prevent it from being dehydrated. It will also protect the skin from external influences.
3. Exfoliating
Since oatmeal is both moisturizing and cleansing, it is a good solution to eliminate dead skin cells and impurities. As a result, you will be able to say goodbye to blackheads, pimples and other impurities.
Oatmeal will also reduce and treat the signs of acne, control the production of fat, and the type of shine that is typical of oily skin… It is a great ingredient you can not miss. We recommend trying!
4. Great for skin irritation
It’s simply amazing. Its calming effect makes oatmeal great against irritation, such as eczema, itching, rashes or psoriasis. It has a calming and healing effect. Oatmeal will also help you deal with the problems little by little, which all of us may suffer from.
5. The relaxing effect of oatmeal
The relaxing effect of oatmeal on the muscles has been known for thousands of years. A relaxing bath and a soap with oatmeal, which we will teach you to make, are good methods for toning the muscles, relaxing, and getting a soothing treatment where you can simultaneously take care of sensitive and dry skin.
Make your own bags of oatmeal for the shower
What do you need?
To make two bags you will need the following:
- 2 glasses of oatmeal.
- Two cloth bags. They should be made of chiffon, muslin or organza. You can use gift bags that you have probably received before. They should have a string to tie them.
- Half a soap. The type you like best. You can use oatmeal soap as well, but we recommend another: pink mosqueta. You can find it in health food stores or perfumeries.
- Essential oil. The one you like best. Of course we recommend pink mosqueta (rosehip seed oil).
How to make soap with oatmeal in bags
- It’s very simple. The first thing you should do is choose your cloth bags. They should be medium in size, and should be the size of your hand (at least). Imagine that you are going to use them as a soap for the skin, which is why the size should be right.
- Once you have the bags in place, set them aside and bring out a bowl. You can make a therapeutic mixture. You need two glasses of oatmeal. Then tear off half a bar of soap. Use a grater and place these small pieces on top of the oatmeal.
- Add 10 drops of essential oil in addition. Choose the type you like best. This is to balance the smell.
- We should also mention that some people add dry herbs as well, such as lavender, orange leaves, or even rosemary. You can add whatever you want, as long as these planets have good therapeutic benefits for your skin.
- Then it’s almost clear. You just need to split the contents and fill up the two bags. Tie them tightly. Remember that after each use, place the bags in a place where the sun and air allow them to dry properly. The use of the soap is of course limited. When you notice that it barely smells, or that the oatmeal has turned into a kind of powder, it’s time to make new bags. You will even notice how beautiful your skin is going to look.
