Review: Dial Lavender Oatmeal Body Wash
2491 days ago
I confess to using oatmeal for purposes other than those originally intended. There’s dinner, for starters, as well as cookies and bread, but oatmeal soap really takes the cake here. I first came across this soap when I was looking for something like my lavender bubble bath, but designed for more everyday use. It would be possible to have a bubble bath every day, but that would detract somewhat from the gravitas. So I needed something more like soap.
I was at first less than impressed with the idea of cleaning myself with oatmeal. It’s certainly heart-healthy and delicious, but I feared it would lack the cleansing power that I often require after several hours of running in variable weather. However my initial fears have proved unfounded: this crap is totally awesome.
Cleaning Power: Excellent. The oatmeal has subtle abrasive qualities, as well as a unique ability to absorb chlorine.
Scent: Oatmeal has no scent, so that just leaves the lavender. So it smells great, unless you don’t like lavender. Of course, if you don’t like lavender you’re a freak anyway, and you have bigger things to worry about.
Compatibility with existing personal care products: Fruit-themed grooming products are contraindicated due to a likelihood of estrogen overload. “Fresh” and “Sport” scents are somewhat enhanced by the lingering aroma of lavender that results from proper use of lavender oatmeal body wash.
Health Benefits: The benefits of oatmeal as an aid to lowering cholesterol, promoting weight loss and boosting heart health are widely known.
