Times are tough and beauty products cost a fortune. I’m sure if I added up every cent I’ve spent on the various products I’ve used over the years, I’d come up with a shocking amount! I’m always on the lookout for shortcuts that are pocket friendly, my favourite is MILK.
Milk has nine essential nutrients that benefit health:
- Calcium – builds healthy bones and teeth
- Protein – source of energy, repairs muscle tissue
- Potassium – helps maintain a healthy blood pressure
- Phosphorus – helps strengthens bones and generate energy
- Vitamin D – helps maintain bones
- Vitamin B12 – maintains healthy red blood cells and nerve tissue
- Vitamin A – maintain immune system, helps maintain normal vision
- Riboflavin (B2) – converts food into energy
- Niacin – metabolizes sugars and fatty acids
Beauty uses for milk:
Gentle face scrub for oily skin – Mix 1 teaspoon of powdered skim milk with 1 teaspoon of honey. Add a few drops of fresh lemon juice and gently massage face with this mixture. Rinse thoroughly.
Deflate puffy eyes: Dip cotton pads into cold whole milk and apply to lids for 3 mins. Whole milk is an anti inflammatory and the lactic acid diminishes the dark circles.
Skin soother: Milk and honey bath a la Cleopatra. Add 2 drops lavender oil, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 cup whole milk to a warm bath.
Soak as long as you like, then shower to remove all traces of milk and honey.
Stronger and longer nails: Once a week, soak your hands in warmed up cup of full cream milk for 3 minutes, rinse and moisturise.
