Oatmeal isn't just a nutritious way to start your day, but it can also be a great addition to your regular skincare routine and act as a weapon against those pesky blemishes. The texture of oatmeal and the saponins it contains make it an excellent exfoliator and cleanser that effectively removes dead skin cells.

Its antiseptic properties help reduce irritation and treat acne, acne scars and dark spots. The unique thing about oatmeal is that it can balance the oil content of your skin, making it beneficial for both oily and dry skin types.

All of these different properties of oatmeal combine to make it a great ingredient when used in home remedies to remove age spots.
