CONT

L'avoine est souvent l'ingrédient clé des crèmes conçues pour apaiser la peau irritée. Si les petits pots de crème vendent souvent du rêve, dans le cas de l'avoine, ce rêve est devenu réalité. Ces bienfaits se produiraient grâce aux avenanthramides, une composante aux propriétés antioxydantes et anti-inflammatoires qui aiderait à soulager les symptômes de la dermatite atopique, du psoriasis et d'autres démangeaisons cutanées.
