But what does milk do for our skin?  Milk, when used as a skin care treatment, nourishes and moisturizes your skin. This is why it’s found in a number of skin care products and it’s usually combined with honey. Milk contains lactic acid, which aid to rid the dead skin cells on our skin’s surface, sort of like exfoliating your skin.  Milk also contains proteins, enzymes, amino acids, and antioxidants, which is all beneficial to our skin.  It is widely known, Cleopatra …read more
