You’ve heard of people slathering onManuka honey,avocadoand-heck-evenmatchato combat skin woes. But the new favorite pantry staple for healthy-looking skin that you might not have heard of yet? Oats. Sure, the nondescript little beige grains make a quick and easy breakfast, but they also pack a surprisingly powerful punch when processed differently and included in your daily moisturizer, serum and cleanser. They contain a range of chemical compounds—like antioxidants and enzymes—specific to oats, that moisturize, restore and strengthen the skin’s barrier over time. This combination of science and nature means that products containing prebiotic oats, likeAveeno’s Calm + Restoreline, are clinically proven to soothe sensitive skin.
