Features of washing with milk

Many women, despite the abundance of cosmetics in stores, prefer to take care of their skin using exclusively folk recipes. One of the most common is washing with milk, which has its own characteristics.

Milk cleansers and baths have been known for their healing and anti-aging effect since ancient times when there were no creams and lotions. In today's cosmetics industry, this ingredient is widely used and serves as an additive in various face and body skin care products. Consequently, a natural product will be very beneficial for the skin. Some combine folk recipes with modern cosmetics, while others prefer to make all the care based on only natural products. Milk copes with the nutrition of the skin, saturating it with fatty acids and healthy proteins.

Washing with milk is useful for the following reasons:

• vitamin A makes the skin more elastic and resilient;
• vitamin b1 allows you to cope with irritations, especially those that have arisen on a nervous basis;
• vitamin B2 supplies the skin with oxygen, as a result of which all metabolic processes improve;
• vitamin b12 - a participant in the regeneration processes, and this, in turn, makes the skin smooth and gives it a healthy color;
• vitamin D inhibits the aging process, thereby giving the skin a tone;
• vitamin C acts as a healing element, relieves inflammation, fights acne.

All this helps the skin to remain healthy and beautiful, nourishes, moisturizes, protects from the harmful effects of the environment. As for the harm, rather, milk in some cases does not bring benefits as a food product. In terms of cosmetics, it cannot cause obvious harm, with the exception of intolerance to this product.

Besides, do not wash your face with milk if you have any kind of skin disease. In this case, a doctor’s consultation is required. Another condition: when using milk for cosmetic purposes, it must be natural, without any additives or preservatives.

Both cow and goat milk are beneficial, including for the skin. You can use both options. Ideally, it’s good to buy a product from trusted people so that there is no doubt about its quality. If this is not possible, you can buy milk in the store, but the packaging should have the inscription "Milk", and not some other, for example, "Dairy Product".

The shorter the shelf life of milk, the greater the likelihood that it is natural. For cosmetic procedures, it is better to take milk with a higher fat content. As a wash, as well as making various masks, sour milk is very suitable. So if the product is sour, do not throw it away, it is still very useful.

Beauticians recommend washing with fresh milk to those whose skin is prone to dryness, peeling. For those who are concerned about oily sheen and enlarged pores, sour milk is more suitable. It is not necessary to wash in the full sense of the word. You can take a cotton pad, moisten it in a fresh or sour product (depending on the type of skin) and wipe your face, changing the disc several times. Before that makeup needs to be removed.

At the end of the procedure, the face should be rinsed with boiled water and the face should only be slightly dampened with a towel. You can wipe your face in this way 3 times a week.
