How does milk help in enhancing beauty?

Milk has all the qualities that a beauty enhancing product should have. Most of the beauty  creams on the market contain milk as a major component.

Milk contains Lactic acid and is a good source of vitamins A and D, which nourish the complexion.The lactic acid in milk is an alpha hydroxy acid, a natural material that dissolves the glue that holds dead skin cells together. Milk can cleanse the skin down to its deepest layers. Whole milk is such a powerful soother for dry, itchy skin that it can be used to take the sting out of minor bums and rashes.

Cleopatra knew about the beautifying properties of milk: she took baths in it! Skin-softening, moisturizing, and filled with nutrients, milk has been a favorite beauty aid for millennium .

Milk Bath

What a delightful bath! I used two cups of milk and added about 1/2 a tablespoon of Jojoba oil…my skin has never felt so soft! I am now making this a weekly ritual for a relaxing “spa” treatment at home.

This secret beauty formula couldn’t be simpler. Add 2 to 4 cups of fresh milk or buttermilk to the bathwater as the tub is filling. Soak for a good 20 minutes. Gently rub your skin with a washcloth or loofa to slough off the dead skin. Rinse your body thoroughly after soaking.

Milk and Honey Bath
A favorite skin-soother: To a warm bath, add 2 drops lavender oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and 2 tablespoons whole milk powder (or 1 cup liquid whole milk). Soak as long as you like, then shower to remove all traces of milk and honey.

Milk and Honey Shower Gel
Pour a little honey into the palm of your hand and add some whole milk powder, mixing to form a gel. Use as you would any shower gel. (Guaranteed to leave your skin feeling silky soft and smooth.)

Did you know that milk can be used to clean and soften your skin and cure dust allergies and dry skin and other irritations?

Skin colour, texture, type differ from person to person, while I have dry skin yours might be oily skin. Here you have a few formulas to use milk as skin cleanser and softener.

Oily Skin Cleanser
Apply skim milk to your face and then rinse thoroughly with water.

Normal, Dry, or Mature Skin Cleanser
Use whole milk, applying gently to face and then rinsing thoroughly with water.

Gentle Facial Scrub for Oily Skin
Mix 1 teaspoon powdered skim milk with 1 teaspoon honey. Add a few drops of fresh lemon juice, and gently massage face with this mixture. Rinse thoroughly.

Gentle Facial Scrub for Normal, Dry, or Mature Skin
Mix 1 teaspoon powdered whole milk with 1 teaspoon honey and gently massage face with mixture. Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.

I do these things once in a while. But I have made it a habit to apply 2 spoons of natural milk to my face at least once a day . I leave that on my face for 2 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with water. This can be done on any type of skin.

It doesn’t take much time / money to try this. I have tried and got the result. Now it’s your Turn.
