There are many healthy benefits of oatmeal that go beyond the obvious ones of breakfast cereal and cookies!
We all know that eating it provides good fiber in our diet, and that it is widely used in both breakfast products and in baked goods. And in recent times it has been strongly linked to a reduction in diabetes when regularly used in our diet.
But did you know you can also use it for your health and skin on the outside!
This is a really good example of a cheap, readily available item from your kitchen that has many natural skin care uses.
Plus it contains terpinen-4-ol, which is a natural antimicrobial.

WHAT TO DO:
Oatmilk is particularly good for sensitive skin.
Simply soak the oats in mineral water then strain out the lumps using a muslin cloth or similar.
This is a lovely gentle way to clean the skin.
Many countries around the world call this ingredient rolled oats or porridge.
When the natural flakes are rolled under heavy rollers, steamed and lightly toasted they are then used for porridge and in baked goods such as the infamous "Anzac Biscuits" of Australia and New Zealand (similar to the cookies of the USA).
Porridge is when you cook the rolled product with either water or milk, and a little salt, and eat it hot for breakfast with milk (and brown sugar sprinkled on top).
All very natural, high in fiber and delicious!
