If you’ve been around Gingerly Snapped’s products for a while, you know my love for oatmeal products. And for good reason! Oatmeal is a natural ingredient that has amazing benefits for the skin, such as nourishing, protecting, and soothing the skin.
Oatmeal contains beta-glucan, a polysaccharide that helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. This helps it deeply moisturize itchy, dry skin. It’s also a good source of vitamins and minerals, providing much needed nourishment to the skin.
Rich in antioxidants, products containing oatmeal can help protect the skin from free radicals. This, in turn, may help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Oatmeal can also protect pores from clogging by absorbing excess oil, preventing acne from forming.
Those who struggle with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis would benefit from oatmeal’s anti-inflammatory properties. Products containing oatmeal can help to soothe and calm irritated skin along side strengthening the skin’s natural barrier in order to make it more resistant to further irritation.
One of my favorite things about oatmeal products is that it’s a naturally hypoallergenic ingredient, making it suitable for sensitive skin. From our Lavender Oatmeal face mask to our Lavender Oatmeal soap, Gingerly Snapped can help protect and nurture even your most sensitive of skin from head to toe.
