Oatmeal
Oatmeal is not just a great breakfast choice - it can benefit your skin in many ways and is particularly good for those of us who struggle with sensitive skin. Rich in natural lipids, proteins, sugars and bioactive substances (one of which is the anti-inflammatory compound avenanthramide) oatmeal immediately soothes the skin, reduces redness and itching and helps restore moisture balance.
The most popular way to use oatmeal is the so-called "oatmeal bath". It may sound like a fancy spa treatment, but it's pretty simple. All you need to do is put 2 cups of uncooked oatmeal in your bathtub (preferably in a small cotton bag, to avoid having to clean the mess later) and leave it there for 20-30 minutes.
Alternatively, you can use oatmeal as a mask - mix 3 tbsp. uncooked oatmeal with some water, leave it for an hour and then apply the mixture to the irritated area.
