Most people are urged to include dairy in their daily diet considering it is a rich source of calcium. . As beauty products, they are extremely popular for a few simple reasons – easily accessible, all natural with minimal chemical influence and they are filled with a host of minerals and nutrients. Milk is also a great source of magnesium and phosphorous, which calms the nerves and strengthens the heart and the other muscles of the body.

 

FUSS FREE FACIALS

Milk has been known to be an excellent moisturizing agent. So it isn’t uncommon for it to be used in face packs, as an astringent or toner or even as an ingredient for facial scrubs. The richer the milk, the better it is in terms of moisture. For people with oily skin, skim milk is the recommended dairy product.

The easiest way to cleanse your skin is to take some raw milk, preferably chilled, and dab it onto your face, with cotton. Milk contains just the right amount of moisture and fat to remove impurities without drying out your skin. The trick is to dab it on and let it dry by itself before washing the milk away with lukewarm water.

 

SATINY TRESSES

If your hair is excessively dry and brittle, milk can act as a great natural conditioner. All you need to do is apply milk to your scalp. This will not only nourish your hair but cleanse it as well. This is especially useful for women who have repeatedly colored their hair.

 

SOAKING UP THE SUN

Basking in the summer sunshine is a favorite pastime for many. However, it does have its negative aspects. Sunburn is one of them. Buttermilk is an old fashioned remedy for your sore and burnt skin. All you need to do is dab it delicately onto the afflicted area with cotton. It’s a natural soother and will take care of any redness or irritation that has arisen. Buttermilk is also recommended for dealing with other skin afflictions such as eczema.

 

LIGHTENING UP

Most women rely on face packs and facials to lighten their skin, using both natural and chemical bleaches. Milk is one such natural bleach. Combined with honey, orange or lime juice, it is a mild, non-corroding and effective treatment for your skin, a quick and easy way to tackle that unwanted tan. Milk is also known for its elastic properties. When applied to the face, it tends to tighten the skin and prevents the onset of wrinkles and sagging skin. This not only applies to the face, in fact, many women add milk to their baths even today, to keep their skin feeling soft, smooth and looking young and healthy.
