As you may know, there is lots of nutrition in fresh milk, including moisturising substances and lactic acid, which helps scrub away dead cells and nurtures your skin.

Special notes:

- Fresh, pure milk is highly recommended for this purpose.

- After caring for your skin with fresh milk, you should avoid direct sunlight as fresh milk may make your skin easily burned. You should apply the fresh milk mask at night.

1. Scrub face with milk

Fresh milk can be used once or twice a week to rub your face.
