A bowlful of porridge a day could help keep dry skin at bay according to leading skin specialist Judith Mulgrew of Skin Medispa based on the Lisburn Road. The news, which has been welcomed by local breakfast cereal processor, White’s, makers of Only Oats and Speedicook Porridge Oats, comes as people began to ditch the winter woollies in favour of the latest spring/summer fashions.

Colder temperatures often lead to skin being hidden under layers of clothing and neglected during the winter months, resulting in dry, scaly skin. However, according to Judith, with a little bit of attention and a healthy dollop of oats, you too can have glowing skin in time for summer ‘09! She said: “Oats are well known for having health boosting properties when included in the daily diet but few people think of them as a natural remedy for soothing dry and flaky skin. Oats are highly absorptive and hypoallergenic, have the best amino acid balance of all the cereal grains and have been clinically proven to help heal dehydrated and itchy skin. So if you want glowing skin this summer make sure oats don’t just feature on your breakfast table but in your bathroom cabinet as well.”
