HOW TO MAKE?
Lie your muslin or Supa wipe flat on a surface.

Pull up the corners and tie a long piece of string around tightly to keep the oatmeal in place.
Leave enough string to be able to tie to your bath tap.
Tie onto and hang from the hot tap so the water flows through it.

HOW TO USE?
Relax and soak it up for 10 to 15 minutes.
Do 2 to 3 times a week if your condition is severe.

BENEFITS OF THE INGREDIENTS?
Ground Oatmeal 101 >
Great for eczema and psoriasis or if you simply have dry, irritated skin.
Avenacins compounds — antifungal properties help fight the growth of certain bacteria and fungus.
Flavonoids —help absorb ultraviolet-A (UVA) rays and neutralize free radicals from the environment, which can damage cells, causing illness and ageing.
Saponins — antimicrobial properties help guard against bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Vitamin E — boosts the production of collagen and elastin in skin cells, improving skin elasticity for brighter, younger-looking skin.
Phenols — rich in antioxidants that combat the signs of ageing.
Cellulose — known to possess strong humectant properties, which help hydrate and moisturize the skin.
Fibre — forms a natural emollient known to soothe irritation and nourish all skin types (dry, oily, sensitive, normal).

Lipids — prevent dryness and irritation by replenishing lost oils in the skin.
Beta-glucans — stimulate collagen production to hydrate and heal the skin.
Antioxidants —fight free radicals, the rogue cells responsible for ageing (i.e. wrinkles, dark spots, and loose, saggy skin).
