Who needs expensive spa products if you already have milk at home? Milk baths have been around for centuries-even thousands of years-and for good reason: Milk can moisturize and renew skin, leaving it looking shiny and bright. So skip the bowl of cereal and let's beautify the skin!
Step
Part 1 of 2: Improve Skin Condition
Step 1. Take a milk bath
Close the tub drain, run hot water, and add 3, 8-11, 4 liters of milk. When in doubt, more is always better. Make sure to leave enough space so that when you get into the tub, the milk doesn't spill.
- Let the milk sit for 15-20 minutes. If you do this every day for a week, your skin will be brighter and more radiant. If Cleopatra did, then the skin would be beautiful, right?
- Always rinse the body afterward! You want naturally glowing skin, not skin that is shiny with milky residue.
Step 2. Make a facial cleansing mask
You can mix a few tablespoons of milk with a tablespoon or two of honey, lemon juice, baking soda, or all three. Crush the vitamin E tablets as an additional cleaning powder. Your skin needs these ingredients just as much as your body!
Apply it to your face (or any area of your body of your choice) and let it set – this will take 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. Skin will feel soft and refreshed
Step 3. Make an exfoliating scrubber
To remove the top layer of skin and reveal your new self, use milk to exfoliate the skin. Take 250 ml of milk and 3 tablespoons of oatmeal and apply to the skin, then rub gently. Oatmeal acts as a abrasive, while milk acts as a nutrient.
- Let it dry. Then rinse with warm water, by rubbing it gently. If you want to make this scrub beforehand, make it with powdered milk and store it in the refrigerator.
- Or, you can soak 75 grams of almonds in milk overnight. Then in the morning, grind it into a paste and apply to the skin, following the same drying and rinsing method as above.
Step 4. Use a cotton ball on the dark areas of the skin
Just as lemon juice is claimed to lighten the skin, the lactic acid in milk is also claimed to work in the same way. If you have dark spots on your skin, take a cotton ball, soak it in milk, and apply it to the desired area. Let it dry overnight and then rinse it off in the morning.
Step 5. Use milk as a refresher
If you're not crazy about soaking your face in milk overnight, then use milk as a toner. Apply milk on your face with a cotton ball soaked in milk, let it sit for at least 15 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. With repeated use, this method will produce a natural glow on the skin.
Some people say that milk can lighten the skin. Although you may or may not be able to, pay attention if you choose to use milk to refresh the skin. Excessive use does not give the desired result
Step 6. Use milk to shrink skin pores
It's not just milk that makes skin beautiful-but all dairy products too. If you want to shrink pores, use sour milk-with sour cream or curd (buttermilk). The thing that needs to be done is to apply the material thinly on the skin and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water and rinse thoroughly – you don't want to smell like sourpuss in the morning!
Part 2 of 2: Perfecting Treatment with Milk
Step 1. Don't just use cow's milk
This is the first thing most of us look for when we think of milk, but there are many different types of milk out there. Whole cow's milk is very good, but goat's milk is also good-in fact, goat's milk has a pH level that is close to the natural level of our skin, so the skin can absorb it very well. And for those of you who are animal protection activists, the good news is that rice, soybeans and almonds can be used just like milk.
However, don't forget powdered milk! Powdered milk is easy to store and does not spoil quickly. Adding 5 tablespoons of powdered milk in various mixtures can be used
Step 2. Always choose whole milk
Remember, if using milk, do not choose one that contains less fat. The thicker and more fat the milk, the better. Milk can moisturize the skin, moisturizing with vitamins and protein from fat. For this reason, whole goat's or cow's milk is probably best (although other types of milk can be used even in small amounts).
This also applies to yogurt and other dairy products (curd, sour cream, etc.). You can replace milk with these ingredients if you don't have milk-or save them for a bowl of cereal in the morning
Step 3. Try packaged products
Milk baths and other similar things are so popular that many beauty product companies are popularizing them--you can buy packaged milk bath powder, which makes the bathing process easier. Even so, it's a bit pricey and not drinkable if you're thirsty!
Step 4. Add other additional ingredients
A milk bath can be made even more enjoyable if you add a little extra to it. Precisely are herbs, dried flower leaves, salt, or essential oils. We get the fragrance here. Not only is it good for the skin-it's pleasing to the senses of smell and also soothing!
Bath salts can help exfoliate the skin while dried flower leaves, herbs, and essential oils are soothing. There are so many options out there, so head over to your local fragrance shop and try some of the fragrances out there
Tips
- Buy shampoo, conditioner, soap, liquid soap, and so on with ingredients that contain milk.
- Using powdered milk for hot showers can be cheaper (and effective).
- Curd is very good for dealing with sunburned skin. If you don't have aloe vera, curd is fine too.
- Milk is great for hair too! So, if you're in the shower, don't worry about applying milk to your hair. Also make sure to rinse it off afterwards.
- Consuming milk (as opposed to rubbing it on the face or skin) has been shown to trigger acne.
- If your blonde hair has been bleached and you go to the pool and it turns green, soak your hair in milk and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This will help the hair to become blonde again.
