As you may know, there is lots of nutrition in fresh milk, including moisturising substances and lactic acid, which helps scrub away dead cells and nurtures your skin.

Special notes:

- Fresh, pure milk is highly recommended for this purpose.

- After caring for your skin with fresh milk, you should avoid direct sunlight as fresh milk may make your skin easily burned. You should apply the fresh milk mask at night.

1. Scrub face with milk

Fresh milk can be used once or twice a week to rub your face.

Mix a spoon of milk, a spoon of coconut oil, some salt, and then massage gently onto your face for five minutes. Rinse your face with warm water. Your skin will get brighter and smoother gradually.

2. Masks with milk

You can apply different kinds of masks with milk once or twice per week.

- Mask with pure milk

Clean your face, dry it with cotton. Take a cotton piece to apply milk on your face. Repeat three times so that your face skin is soaked with milk. Do gentle massages in circles so that milk absorbs well into your skin. Leave it there for 15-20 minutes, rinse well with water.
