Story Time
My Problem in Germany
When I moved to Germany, I faced extremely dry skin. Because of the weather, air, and hard water here, my whole body was shedding off dry skin cells. It was disheartening since I have normal skin and never had any issues with dryness. For my body, I bought a body lotion from a German store and it worked perfectly on my skin. I would apply it just once after a shower and won’t get any dryness till the next day. Along with the body lotion, I bought a face cream from a German store. It was good but I had to apply a lot of it so that my face can look moisturized for a couple of hours.
I also had to apply a moisturizing serum and face oil too. I never applied so many things to my face. Just a moisturizer was sufficient for my skin. But here, even after applying three layers on my face, it was JUST NOT ENOUGH. The most affected area on my face was the area near the nose. It was always dry no matter how much cream I apply, how many products I try, or how much water I drink. And when I would apply CC Cream, I would see some more dry patches on my skin. Agghhhh! In this search to make my skin moisturized, I even asked my European friends about what they apply to their skin. I even tried their products but – No Help! My friends were suggestion to go to a dermatologist which was my last resort.
The Solution was in my Kitchen
Then one day I made a small jar of oats face pack which I used to apply earlier but stopped because of not getting much time for skincare. I applied it one day and realized that my skin did not get dry that day. I did not have to re-apply my face cream. Then I applied it every day or every alternate day for a week or 10 days. Voila! My skin was not just looking clean and clear but also moisturized. But that time, I had to apply it regularly (every alternate day) to keep my skin moisturized.
Since I was getting good results, I continued to apply it regularly for around 3 months. To my surprise, my skin got all better. Now I do not have dry skin near my nose area. I do not have dry skin patches on my face. And best of all – I do not have to apply layers of products on my face. My skin feels better even with just a moisturizer. Now I do not have to apply it every alternate day. I can skip a week and my skin would still be moisturized.
This makes me wonder how the solution was right in front of my eyes but I was ignoring it. Now I use it regularly. It is not just a moisturizer but an amazing cleanser too. I keep a small jar of it in my refrigerator and use it for up to a week or 10 days.
