Milk-scented beauty routine - Fresh, delicate and velvety ingredient, rich in nourishing elements

We are used to buying products like "cleansing milk" or "body milk" without dwelling too much on the main word, or rather on the ingredient in some cases: milk.

Precisely this food was very important at the beginning of the twentieth century to formulate the texture and consistency of the cosmetics we know today. Milk, in particular the casein contained in it, was used to thicken cosmetic compounds made with mixtures of aromatic oils, water and infusions

The first references to its use as a cosmetic treatment date back to Ancient Egypt and in particular two of the most famous queens in history were milk lovers. Nefertiti, using honey, milk and ostrich eggs to prepare her favorite face mask, Cleopatra loved to immerse herself in the precious donkey milk. This luxurious beauty ritual was also known in Ancient Greece and was handed down to the Middle Ages. And today it is used more than ever in cosmetics offered by brands in the beauty industry.

Milk is used in many recipes for simple home-made DIY treatments:

Soy milk is perfect for calming pimples and rashes. Wet a cotton ball with soy milk and pat your face gently.
To remove make-up from your face, use coconut milk instead, applying it on a cotton pad. Rinse with warm water for a well-cleaned and hydrated skin.
Milk is also the best ingredient for our hair-care: it makes it soft and silky, helping to smooth it. To make a compress, just mix it with yogurt and honey, or yogurt and banana. If you have limited time, add a few drops of milk to the mask or shampoo you usually use.
If you want to try a true queen's experience and immerse yourself in donkey milk, know that it is not that difficult. You can buy it in farms or some supermarkets.
