Milk has been used for beauty treatments for quite some time, and there is evidence that Cleopatra soaked in baths of donkey or goat milk for hours at a time to beautify her skin. Asian cultures have relied on the benefits of rice milk for centuries to nourish and soothe skin, while cultures in tropical climates have found that coconut milk has numerous skin smoothing properties.
Milk contains lactic acid, which actually dissolves the glue that binds
dead skin cells to our skin's surface. Consequently, the milk is sloughing
off dead skin cells and acting as an exfoliant. When we exfoliate our
skin, it automatically feels softer, but when exfoliation is combined
with the skin smoothing and hydrating effects of milk, it may no longer
feel like your own. Milk contains proteins, enzymes, amino acids, and
antioxidants, all incredibly valuable for our skin. The milk proteins
are skin-enhancing since they promote smoothness and help to strengthen
skin structure. The milk enzymes and amino acids are responsible for
stimulating the skin's natural moisture barrier, which makes way for
intense hydration and skin cell regeneration. Finally, milk's antioxidants
are great for combating environmental damage and provide future protection
from further damage
