Could skincare really be that easy? It’s been used as a beauty ingredient for a long time. Milk was bathed in by Cleopatra and others in Ancient Egypt for its skin-nourishing properties. Similarly, milk has long been part of a standard skincare routine in Korea, a hotbed of skincare innovation.

Milk’s illuminating properties

Milk naturally renews the skin, according to the science. It has exfoliating properties due to the presence of lactic acid. If you have dry skin, this helps to shed excess skin cells and reveal brighter skin beneath, while those with acne may notice that it helps break down bacteria, leaving skin more balanced and with fewer spots.

Aside from that, milk’s vitamin content benefits the skin. It contains vitamins A and D, which are necessary for a healthy skin barrier.

Those who are lactose intolerant may experience negative side effects such as rashes or skin flare-ups if they apply milk directly to their faces. Plant-based milks may be a better option for those who suffer from this condition or who live a vegan lifestyle. Because oats contain skin-soothing ingredients, oat milk may help nourish skin.
