How Milk Rejuvenates The Skin, Fades Scars
Milk is not just for strong bones; it’s also for smooth, even-toned skin. It contains lactic acid, a natural exfoliant that gently removes dead skin cells and promotes cell renewal.
This process helps to lighten scars and even out skin tone.
Plus, it’s hydrating and soothing, making it perfect for all skin types.
Step-by-step milk magic
1. The preparation
Start with fresh, preferably organic, milk—whole milk works best due to its higher fat content, which is more nourishing for the skin. Ensure your face is clean and makeup-free.
2. Application
Soak a cotton ball or a soft cloth in milk and apply it directly to the scarred areas. For an extra boost, you can mix a bit of honey with the milk for its antibacterial and healing properties.
3. Let it work
Leave the milk on your skin for about 15-20 minutes. This gives the lactic acid time to do its thing, gently exfoliating the scarred skin.
4. Rinse off
Wash off the milk with lukewarm water, and pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Follow up with your regular moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
For best results, repeat this process daily. It’s not a quick fix; patience and consistency are your allies here. Over time, you should notice your scars becoming lighter and less noticeable.
