Apart from being nutritionally dense, oats have been used for beauty treatments for centuries. Using beauty products loaded with oats is believed to have many skin-enhancing qualities including skin hydration, soothing itchiness and keeping the overall complexion youthfully supple.

If you’ve been reading my beauty posts, you already know I am a huge fan of Lush. I’ve recently been treating myself to two of Lush’s oat-based beauty products; the Ceridwen’s Cauldron and the Dream Cream.
