How Does 

Oatmeal Impact

 Skincare?



As a skincare ingredient, oats and oatmeal can have a significant impact on the health and appearance of your skin, as well as helping to treat conditions that cause dry, flaky skin and irritation.

The active ingredients used in oatmeal products not only bring moisture to the surface layers of your skin, they also use their natural properties to soothe and cool itchiness and aid the protective performance of your skin’s outer layer. As such, they are the perfect solution for many skin conditions and ensuring a perfect balance of your skin’s microbiome – the ecosystem of bacteria that keeps your skin healthy and glowing.

Oatmeal-based products work with your skin to do a number of things, including:

  • Restoring moisture to dry skin to improve its appearance and reduce irritation

  • Creating a protective barrier, known as the skin microbiome, on the surface of the skin that guards against bad bacteria and UV rays

  • Helping your skin achieve optimal pH levels, particularly if this has increased

  • Soothing sensitive skin and reducing the effects of itchiness and other forms of irritation

  • Cleaning the skin by sticking to dirt and dead skin cells to allow them to be washed away more easily

Iris says: “Oat ingredients contain a range of compounds, including proteins, enzymes, lipids and carbohydrates - which come together to form a skincare dream team, soothing, moisturising and protecting your skin.”

The Benefits of Using Oatmeal to Improve Skin Health

Clinical studies have shown that products making use of oatmeal ingredients can have a positive effect when used to relieve a number of skin conditions, including:

  • Dry skin

    Dry skin is often caused by a lack of water in the upper layers of the skin. However, oatmeal ingredients work to retain that moisture, creating a layer that traps5 water. This gives skin a fuller, more radiant appearance and reduces areas of dry skin.

  • Eczema:

    As well as causing dryness in the skin, eczema is a condition which can leave sufferers with patches of itchy and inflamed skin across their body. This is partially due to defects in the surface of the epidermis, which prevents it from retaining the moisture it needs. Oat ingredients are often recommended for eczema sufferers, adults and babies, to strengthen the outer barrier of your skin, as well as for the anti-inflammatory qualities that help to reduce itchiness6. The Aveeno® Dermexa range and Aveeno® Baby Dermexa range contain prebiotic triple oat formula and ceramides to relieve the symptoms of dry eczema-prone skin.

  • Psoriasis:

    Usually affecting the skin on around the elbows and other joints, this condition is caused by skin regenerating too quickly. The build-up of skin cells leads to dry, scaly skin that can be itchy or sore7. Oatmeal can help wash away layers of dead skin to reduce the impact of psoriasis.

  • Acne:

    A condition usually seen in young adults, acne is caused by a build-up of natural oils on the skin, which clog the pores. However, it’s believed that oat ingredients bind to these oils, making them easier to wash away and reducing clogged pores.

  • Nappy rash:

    Irritation of the skin, caused by wearing nappies that are either wet or on for too long, this condition can cause discomfort to your baby and affects as many as a third of all infants. The cooling and soothing qualities of oats can help to reduce irritation in little ones. Aveeno® Baby offers a wide range of washes and lotions that help baby’s skin become softer and smoother and relieve irritation from nappy rash.

Anatomy of hair

Hair structure Each hair has a hair shaft and a hair root. The shaft is the visible part of the hair that sticks out of the skin. The hair root is in the skin and extends down to the deeper layers of the skin. It is surrounded by the hair follicle (a sheath of skin and connective tissue), which is also connected to a sebaceous gland. Each hair follicle is attached to a tiny muscle (arrector pili) that can make the hair stand up. Many nerves end at the hair follicle too. These nerves sense hair movement and are sensitive to even the slightest draft. At the base of the hair, the hair root widens to a round hair bulb. The hair papilla, which supplies the hair root with blood, is found inside the bottom of the hair bulb. New hair cells are constantly being made in the hair bulb, close to the papilla.
