Milk can be taken not only inside, but also applied outside! It turns out that this is a great tool to prolong the youthfulness of the skin. Milk has long been considered the elixir of youth. According to legend, Cleopatra and her retinue were followed by a herd of 700 donkeys on each trip so that the queen could take a milk bath at any time. 200 liters were necessary for such a truly royal procedure.

Milk contains more than 200 biologically active substances: lactose, fatty acids, vitamins, enzymes, and amino acids. Therefore, it is not surprising that many cosmetic brands use cow, goat, camel (the most expensive), as well as donkey and mare milk when creating cosmetics. Milk protein, fats, and proteins give the epidermis elasticity and smoothness, moisturize and prevent the loss of life-giving moisture, activate regeneration processes and accelerate cell renewal, stimulate collagen synthesis, which helps smooth fine wrinkles, and protect against the negative effects of free radicals.

By the way, you can buy ready-made milk-based cosmetics and use this product at home.
