Hi everyone! I’m Jamie, a junior at the University of Florida studying public relations. For as long as I can remember, beauty and skincare have been two passions of mine. In middle school, I would wrangle up all of my babysitting money and spend countless afternoons at Sephora, getting lost in the store for hours, completely consumed and immersed in the sea of products.

Everyone-that means all ages and genders, should have it on their shelf. Now that you can tell how passionate I am about this superstar ingredient, let me explain why I feel the way I do. If you dealt with chickenpox as a child, you probably soaked in an oatmeal bath at some point to help relieve your itchy, irritated skin. There is a reason for that!Oatmeal contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that...
