Milk: A Must-Have for Skin Hydration

We’ve known about milk’s cosmetic benefits for thousands of years. For example, it’s said that in Ancient Egypt, Cleopatra bathed in donkey’s milk to preserve her skin’s youthful appearance. In that, she is joined by Josefina (wife of the French emperor Napoleon), whose skin was considered among the most beautiful, and Queen Victoria of England. In recent years, even Mariah Carey revealed she bathes in milk to protect her skin.

And they weren’t mistaken. Milk, besides being one of the most widely consumed food products in the world due to its high nutritional value, is used in various cosmetic treatments, in both home remedies and skincare products.

Benefits of milk for your skin:

  • Controls excess oils
  • Acts as an astringent to minimize pores
  • Aids in eliminating dead skin cells and impurities
  • Improves texture
  • Refreshes and balances your skin’s natural pH
  • Helps to diminish the harmful effects of free radicals, preventing early signs of aging
  • Hydrates your skin
  • Does not irritate your skin
