How milk can be used to achieve a glowing skin?

We all know the benefits of a cup of pure milk for the bones and overall health. Similarly, milk has various positive effects on the skin too. A quick look through the history books would be sufficient to tell you how Cleopatra attributed the secret of her smooth skin and gorgeous beauty to milk! Even today, pure milk can be used in many ways to achieve a softer and smoother skin. Below are some ways to use milk in your beauty regime.

·         Achieve Fairness: If you want a fairer complexion, then it is time to look beyond those chemical based creams. All you have to do is buy pure milk, apply it on your face and neck and leave it for about 10 minutes. Once the milk has settled on the skin, rinse it off with cold and fresh water. This will give you softer and radiant skin within a few minutes. If you want to prepare a natural face pack then mix 2 tablespoons of milk with 1 tablespoon each of lemon and honey. This face pack acts as a very mild bleach.

·         Cleanse the Impurities: Raw milk can be your best choice of cleanser. Apply raw milk, dipped in a cotton ball, and later wipe your face. Make sure that the raw milk is allowed to stay on the face for about 5 minutes, before rinsing it with fresh water. Such a practice would allow you to have a supple and fair skin, without any side reactions.

·         Shrink those ugly pores: Those large and open pores can diminish your beauty quite quickly. Why not apply some sour milk on those, to shrink them. Apply sour milk on your face and neck thoroughly. Keep it on the face for about 15 minutes and then wash it clean.

·         Remove those Dead Skin Cells: A milk scrub is a great way to remove the dead skin cells and achieve a natural glow. To prepare this scrubbing agent start by dissolving some salt in boiling water and later add 4 cups of low fat milk. Soak this preparation for 20 minutes in lukewarm water before scrubbing your face.

·        

Smoothen fine lines & wrinkles: Again pure milk can help you get over ageing symptoms such as fine lines and wrinkles. All you need to do is prepare a paste by mashing some banana and adding some raw milk into it. Apply the mixture on your skin and leave it for about 15 minutes. Wash the face with water and you will find (with repeated use) that the fine lines and wrinkles vanish!

So, now you have the secret recipe to achieving a glowing and radiant skin!
