Milk is an excellent source of phosphorus, protein, calcium, potassium, B-vitamins, and vitamin D that helps with healthy bones, weight loss, and reduces blood pressure.
As milk nourishes the body from the inside, so does it perform wonders on the outside: your skin. It contains alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and other potent antioxidants that are beneficial to the skin.
Below are some of the extraordinary benefits of milk on the skin:
- For Moisturising
One of the most prominent benefits of raw milk is moisturization. Raw milk is soothing and hydrating for the skin, as it nourishes the deeper skin layers and offers conditioning and moisturization from the inside. It treats the common problem ofskin dryness, especially during harmattanseason or winter. To guarantee a hydrated looking skin all year round, we suggest you use the raw milk face mask, take milk baths, or soak yourself in cold milk.
- For Cleansing
Massaging milk into the face can serve as a natural facial cleanser. The lactic acid in it helps remove dead skin cells from the face. It also has the unique ability to remove the oil-soluble and protein-based particles from the skin with the help of its fat-soluble enzyme lipase and protease.
Learn to apply milk on a ball of cotton and gently rub it over your face to prevent blackheads, acne and pimples. For a deeper cleansing, massage the remaining milk lotion in the MySha milk mask after removing the mask from your face.
- For Soothing Sunburns
After a day under the scorching sun, feel free to use milk to soothe those sunburns you got. The antioxidants, moisturising, anti-inflammatory, and skin-repairing properties in milk come in handy in soothing sunburn and irritated skin.
The alpha-hydroxy acid in the milk is a mild exfoliant that helps rejuvenates a dull, sun-damaged skin while Vitamin A and D in milk are the antioxidants that assist the skin in healing.
Apply MySha milk brightening + moisturising mask on your face for 15-20 minutes to the pull heat away from your skin. Make a cold milk compress by soaking a clean cloth in a bowl of milk and apply on the other area of your body affected by the sun. If you have got enough milk at home, take a cold milk soak while the MySha milk mask sits on your face. Pure bliss!
- For Skin Brightening
Milk lightens your skin by shedding off pigmented skin cells. It reduces skin pigmentation to give you a brighter complexion you need. By using milk face mask, you are on your way to minimise tan, dark spots, or dark patches on your skin, thus giving way to a lighter glowing skin colour.
- For Calming Sensitive Skin
Massaging milk into irritated skin goes a long way in calming dry, sensitive skin without suffocating the skin layers. If you have a sensitive skin that gets easily irritated, it is advisable to use raw milk or skincare products like our milk mask that would not irritate your sensitive skin, but leave it calm, smooth, soft, and silky.
- Slows Down the Signs of Ageing
As we grow older, our skin loses its elasticity due to collagen breakdown. That is where milk comes in. Milk promotes the renewal of collagen production, which makes the skin firm.
Milk contains enzymes, proteins, vitamins and mineral that can help reduce wrinkles and boosts the skin’s health. It also contains protein and calcium, two anti-ageing nutrients, and the fat in milk can help retain moisture on the skin.
The regular use of MySha natural rejuvenating mask and MySha Milk Brightening + Moisturizing Mask can help slow down the signs of ageing on the face.
