What are the benefits of milk on the skin?
You may not know it, but milk is a miracle solution for the skin of the face and body. Like Cleopatra and Poppea, wife of Emperor Nero, the virtues of milk have spanned the centuries. Already, the Queen of Egypt benefited from the advantages of this milky liquid during her daily baths. Indeed, the beauty, known for her smooth and soft skin, poured entire amphorae of donkey milk from her bathtub. Poppea, for her part, was followed by a herd of several hundred donkeys during her many trips.
Milk purifies the skin
Rich in vitamins, pantothenic acid and zinc, milk has the ability to deeply purify your skin by ridding the epidermis of impurities.
• Vitamin A: This vitamin plays an essential role in tissue growth and health.
• Pantothenic acid: it contributes to the overall regeneration of the epidermis, by acting on cellular regeneration.
• Zinc: Zinc is enriched with antioxidants. This trace element protects the skin from free radicals responsible for imperfections and skin aging.
Milk to exfoliate the skin
Making a milky scrub is an excellent way to get rid of dead cells and impurities that dull your complexion. Milk, thanks to its unusual composition, gently exfoliates the skin. To benefit from all its advantages, it is important to choose a quality product. Coconut, donkey, goat, cow or even oat, rice or mare milk, there are a multitude of dairy products to add to a homemade scrub recipe.
Milk is an anti-stain remedy
Lactic acid, present in milk, has the ability to lighten the skin. As a result, it is an essential treatment in your fight against skin spots. Thanks to a stimulating action on the production of collagen, lactic acid actively participates in maintaining young skin. Since some brown spots are linked to premature aging of the skin, the use of lactic acid helps prevent their appearance.

Dairy products also work wonders on the body. If, like Cleopatra, you dream of a Queen's bath, pour milk into your bathtub. Immersing your body in a bath of milk helps treat brown spots and provides an extra dose of hydration, necessary during periods of stress or seasonal change. Milk helps soothe skin irritations such as eczema or psoriasis and effectively combats the itching and dryness associated with these conditions.
To run yourself a bath that meets your expectations, there is no need to rush to the dairy products section. Pour in 3 caps of Collosol Milk Water and that's it! For optimal relaxation and hydration, add rose essential oil, chamomile essential oil or lavender essential oil as well as honey.

Prepare a natural exfoliating treatment and a homemade mask
Enjoy the benefits of milk on your skin by making your own homemade skincare products.
• Make a milk scrub: To make a natural scrub, you don't need a lot of ingredients. Just 200 ml of milk of your choice and three teaspoons of oatmeal are enough to create an effective scrub. To fight against blemishes, you can add five drops of tea tree essential oil or lemon essential oil.
• Make a milk mask: In a bowl, mix a teaspoon of turmeric, a teaspoon of organic honey and a little coconut, goat or cow's milk. Turmeric effectively fights acne by regulating sebum production. Added to milk and honey, turmeric is ideal for brightening the skin and giving radiance to the face.
Milk has been used as a cosmetic for centuries. Its antioxidant active ingredients give it a special place in your fight against cell oxidation, which is responsible for wrinkles and brown spots. As a revitalizing facial mask, gentle scrub, nourishing soap, moisturizing cream or even purifying makeup remover, milk can be used at every stage of your body and face care ritual. Say hello to baby's skin!
