Helps your skin glow
When it comes to skin care, there are a lot of myths and old wives’ tales floating around. But when it comes to milk, there may be some truth to the claim that it can help your skin glow.
Milk has long been used as a beauty treatment, dating back to ancient Egypt. Cleopatra is said to have bathed in milk to keep her skin soft and glowing. And Queen Elizabeth I was known to wash her face in milk every day.
So what’s the science behind this claim? Milk contains lactic acid (alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that can help exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal brighter, more radiant skin. Lactic acid is also a humectant, meaning it helps attract and retain moisture in the skin.
