Got Milk?
Cleopatra wasn't famously known for her daily milk baths because she wanted to build strong bones. While people don't typically think to add milk to their baths, we can attest that milk works wonders on the skin. It's filled with proteins, vitamins, amino acids and minerals, which all leave your face fresh, clean and silky smooth.
· Just a few of its many skintastic benefits include:
· Natural Moisturizer: It hydrates the skin, leaving it soft and radiant.
· Gentle Exfoliant: Milk removes dead skin cells that block the pores. Dip a cotton ball into a glass of milk and wipe your face thoroughly and rinse with warm water, and voila—dirt and dead skin cells be gone!
· Smooth Sailing: The vitamin A found in milk not only combats acne (it's the milder form of retinoids commonly used in topical acne medications), but also helps fight the effects of aging.
Milk the benefits of this DIY face mask that smooths and freshens tired skin:
Mix half a banana and a few spoonfuls of milk in a small bowl until a thick paste forms. Apply the paste to your face and leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse.
