Mask for face from milk

What effect does the face mask have on the skin from milk? Certainly, positive. And milk has its own useful property for every type of skin. The main thing is to pick the right ingredients for the milk, as well as the mixture put on the face not to hold longer than 15-20 minutes.

The Benefits of Milk for Skin

To make cosmetic effects effective, milk should be correct, that is, natural. And what is the use of milk for the skin?

In natural whole cow milk, there are proteins (approximately 82%, in the form of casein), which means that there are amino acids, in particular - leucine and isoleucine, valine and tyrosine, proline and tryptophan.

Milk contains calcium phosphate, sodium and potassium salts, magnesium, iron, selenium and zinc. Vitamins are represented by thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), cobalamin (B12), vitamin C and folic acid. All this is very useful for skin cells.

In addition, fat-soluble vitamins - A, D, E and K, essential unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic), as well as saturated fatty acids are present in the composition of milk fat. Due to linoleic acid, the stratum corneum retains moisture better, and the skin does not overdry.

Among the saturated fatty acids, myristic acid is particularly prominent, which has such high hydrophobicity that it almost freely penetrates the lipid membranes of epidermal cells. And not only does it penetrate itself, but it also "drags" useful substances behind it.

So, we offer you recipes for face masks from milk, which really give a positive result.

Mask from goat's milk

Goat's milk is a long-deservedly recognized product of the cosmetic industry, and any goat's milk mask promotes deep nourishment, moisturizing and regenerating facial skin.

Goat's milk contains many vitamins and minerals, as well as coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) and glycerol containing essential lipids - practically the same as in skin cell membranes.

If cow's milk has 17% fatty acids, then in the goat, they average 35% and over seven dozen unsaturated fatty acids. And thus, thanks to a low melting point (+ 37 ° С), fats are more easily absorbed by deeper layers of our skin. A moisturizing derivatives of pantothenic acid increase the strength of collagen fibers, make the skin softer and younger.

The simplest mask recipe consists of the actual milk (4 tablespoons) and the oatmeal, which can be replaced with ordinary flour or starch. If the skin is very dry it is useful to add 3 drops of jojoba oil or macadamia.

And for normal and fat-prone skin it is recommended to prepare a mixture of milk with cosmetic or blue clay.

For women in North Africa, the Middle East and East Asia, a camel milk mask is an ordinary home remedy for keeping beautiful skin.

In camel's milk, there are three times more vitamin C and 10 times higher iron content than in cow's milk; micro- and macro elements in it, too, more, but vitamins A and B2 less. Milk camels were examined and found to suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria, which is promoted by a high concentration of lysozyme, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase and immunoglobulin.

Camel's milk, rich in alpha hydroxy acids and vitamins, not only softens the skin, but also dissolves dead cells of the epidermis, helps remove the pigmentation spots from the face and smooths the skin tone.

In Europe, camel's milk is produced since 2006 - in the Netherlands, on a dairy camel farm; in the same place they produce milk powder (which can be ordered).
