Skincare Secret Ingredient: Oats

Courtesy of Be Fine

Oats aren’t just part of a well-balanced breakfast — they’re also a powerful ingredient in many skincare products. Known for their anti-inflammatory properties, oats are packed into intensely hydrating body moisturizers like Aveeno’s Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion, $10, a fragrance-free formula for super-dry, itchy skin. If you’d rather experience a bathtime oat-infused treat, try Liz Earle’s Orange Flower Botanical Body Wash, $20, which contains a natural foaming agent — perfect for sensitive skin. But oats aren’t regulated to body care alone- oat extract is used in Be Fine Food Skin Care’s Gentle Cleanser, $16, to sooth inflammation. So next time you find yourself craving a warm bowl of oatmeal, expand your horizons — your skin will thank you.

I love Be Fine’s Gentle Cleanser! This is the perfect pick-me-up in the morning. The mint smells so refreshing, and I LOVE that it is paraben free, and cruelty free.
