Now let's talk about the use of oatmeal in facial cleansers. Ancient Greeks and Romans
used to use oatmeal in baths to heal skin ailments. The reason for this is because oatmeal
is very helpful for dry, irritated and sensitive skin. It's also a good treatment for rashes
and broken skin. It helps to absorb dirt and an impurity which is what makes it so good
as far as skin ailments are concerned. It also gently exfoliates, which as us women
know, we definitely need help with. And it helps protect from cell damage, which is great
as far as aging is concerned. And also, as far as some of us are concerned who like to
bathe in the sun. It can be an allergen for some people, so I would caution that if you
know you're sensitive to oatmeal, be very careful about using oatmeal in your facial
cleansers until you know that that is not a problem for you.
