While oats are an unbeatable component of any at-home D.I.Y. face mask (and we'll get to that soon), a bowl of oatmeal a day can do wonders for the skin, too. As One Green Planet explains, oats can reduce inflammation, which can get rid of dreaded pimples and dryness. Sure, grinding up some oats and sloughing them on your face is actually ah-mazing, but if you don't want to get messy, eating oats in muesli, granola, or as a yogurt topping can be just as beneficial to your complexion.
The Deccan Chronicle seconds this, citing better skin as a main reason to eat oats every day. The newspaper says that oats' fibers and vitamins can help eczema and other kinds of inflammatory skin disorders from the inside-out. For one, oats' zinc component can help "detoxification" of the skin, and is recommended by dermatologists for a better complexion overall. As Dr. Jennifer Herrmann, a dermatologist, told Byrdie, "taking zinc orally can help heal wounds, lessen inflammation, and improve inflammatory conditions such as acne."
Moreover, says The Deccan Chronicle, oatmeal "rejuvenates the skin" through its manganese component. Healthline states that manganese is a mineral that helps produce an amino acid called proline, which in turn aids the body's collagen production. This is why eating oats on a daily basis can help increase skin cell turnover, while its iron levels work to improve the healing process and give your complexion a noticeable "glow" (via Stylecraze).
