Milk and skin have always gone hand in hand throughout history. As shown, the famous baths of Cleopatra donkey milk as the story that helped her keep her skin young and smooth, though I remain convinced that by then already had a cosmetic bag filled with products from Chanel and Estée Lauder the time. Coquette that she was.
Currently, the active ingredients of milk we can find in soaps, gels and creams as it helps soften and moisturize the skin and stimulates collagen production.
But not only help our skin by using products that have milk as one of its active ingredients.
Eating it too are helping our skin as it contains:
* Vitamin A helps keep our skin supple and nourished,
* Essential amino acids for good health of both nails and hair.
* Lactic acid: a basic element for hydrating the skin because it helps retain moisture and soften skin. As we saw in the post about the AHA, can be used particularly as an exfoliant, but we must be careful not to use during the summer, as the lactic acid lowers the skin’s defenses against UV rays.
