Oats-new skin every day for breakfast!
It’s interesting that the oldies truly are goldies, and simplicity is the key in terms of caring for your skin naturally.
Exfoliation is one example- no-one knew that term until the cosmetic giants invented it and marketed something to consumers to do it with!
In the old days, a rough towel/face flannel ( known in Aus as a face washer) performed that task without anyone knowing what the action was called;it just gave you a glowing shiny face and felt good!
The benefits of exfoliating the skin are manyfold but principally, when you remove the layer of dulling dry flaky dead skin cells mechanically, by gently using our Seaweed Honey and Herb Polishing Scrub or the fabulous German Riffi Beauty Care Mitt, your skin instantly looks more vibrant and feels smoother,encourages blood circulation and hence healthy skin cell growth, discourages the formulation of skin impurities such as black / whiteheads as the action also removes debris/sebum , unblocking pores before these have time to form, and, if present, gently coaxes them loose without destructive squeezing which can scar the skin.
Feedback tells us that spotty oily acne prone skin- indeed dry skin- is improved massively by regular exfoliation, and it is so simple!
Best bit is that your moisture cream is absorbed better and hence is FAR more effective-YAY, what’s not to like?
As I’ve detailed before, when I was growing up in the 60’s,we had no truck with anything but basic soap and water, and homemade remedies from the herb garden for healing and soothing the skin which worked a treat.
Interestingly, my grandmother passed on to me her love of oatmeal,both inside (starting the day with porridge -still hooked on that creamy, steaming goo!) and out- she used oatmeal as face powder and cleanser when young.
But there is much more to it than just breakfast,so when I began formulating my own products for my own use, and later for sale, oatmeal was the start point to build a great product, with the addition of almond meal ( vitamin rich) Tasmanian seaweed and other herbal goodies.
An excellent multi-purpose skin cleanser, it provides very gentle cleansing exfoliation, leaving skin smooth, soft, and clean, helps to relieve dryness, is naturally moisturising which helps to heal minor irritations and soothe redness.
Our scrub makes a great soothing, deep cleansing facepack too!
My grandmother also used to add soothing oatmeal to my bathwater, to relieve the itching of my childhood eczema- using an old sock filled with oatmeal ( left hanging under the tap whilst water running) and squeezed out the milky goodness into the water.
I discovered as I grow older that the towel trick is not enough, that exfoliating regularly is really necessary for healthy glowing skin.
