Growing up and still to this day, my mom makes oatmeal every morning. Although I didn't follow in her footsteps I do keep oatmeal in my cupboard. Oatmeal is a gentle giant in the world of skincare. Oats provide essential fiber and other nutrients for the digestive system, and they're mild for all skin types and a natural cleanser as it is. The benefits of oatmeal extend beyond nutrition, offering a natural solution for skin care. Oats contain a high concentration of saponins, a natural cleanser. When cooking oats, you may notice the foam water it produces, this is the work of the saponins. The gentle cleanse of oats is effective enough to remove oil and dirt from pores.
