Milk Cream - Benefits for Skin and Hair

Milk cream was one of the main beauty ingredient during ancient times.Milk cream has all the necessary components that are required to enhance the facial beauty. It is a natural, inexpensive and safe home remedy for a beautiful skin.

How To Make Milk Cream At Home?

Firstly, take full-fat milk; the skimmed version cannot get enough milk cream. Next, boil the milk in one bowl, leave it to cool down for around 20-30 minutes. After that, collect the top layer with the help of a spoon. You can also refrigerate it for preparing face pack.

Like raw milk, milk cream shows exceptional advantages when applied to the skin.

Milk Cream for Dry and Dull Skin:

Milk cream works wonders for dry and dull skin. Apply generous amounts of milk cream on your face and leave it on for about 20 minutes. It’s the easiest and most effective way to nourish and hydrate your skin and leave it with a healthy glow.

Milk Cream for Lightening Skin Tone:

Milk cream is also great to lighten your skin to one certain extent because it contains lactic acid, which is one of the most popular alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) in skin care today. Mainly, the lactic acid present in it acts on your skin and helps remove tan. Daily use can improve the skin’s complexion.

Mix some milk cream with a little bit of saffron and leave it on your skin for half-an-hour. The potent combination of saffron and milk makes for an excellent, natural skin lightener and over time, shows visible results and give a very healthy glow to the skin naturally.

You can also use this in the night. Mix Saffron in milk cream and leave it overnight. In the morning blend the milk cream with fingers and apply on the face. A few drops of lemon juice may also be added.

Milk cream as an Exfoliant:

Milk cream can also be used as an exfoliant. Grind some breadcrumbs (or you can alternatively even use oats), mix them with equal parts of milk cream and grind it into a paste. Apply it all over your body and gently exfoliate to get rid of any dead skin that might be lurking on the surface. 

Milk cream and Walnut Powder Scrub:

Mix 2 tsp Walnut powder, 1 tsp milk cream, 1 tsp honey, 1 tsp lemon juice n a bowl and make a paste.Scrub your face with the face mask and leave it for 20 minutes. Scrub again and wash with lukewarm water. This face mask will scrub your face and remove all the dirt and dead cells from the skin and make it glowing.

Milk cream face pack for Glowing Skin:

Mix milk cream, sandalwood or turmeric powder, rose oil and honey in required quantity in one bowl. Topically apply this mixture to prewashed skin or face.After leaving it for about 15 minutes wash or wipe it off with water.Regular application of this face pack softens your skin, fends off acne causing bacteria, reduces wrinkles and boosts healthy skin.

Milk cream and Olive Oil:

Olive oil is loaded with anti-aging properties that can boost skin’s elasticity. Also, impurities piled over the face cause wrinkles and dryness. Milk cream to a little extent wipes those impurities and helps in efficient functioning of your skin.

Take fresh milk cream (2 tablespoons), and next add few olive oil drops.Now apply this face pack on the face as well as over the neck.Finally, rinse it off after fifteen minutes.

Milk cream as an Hair Conditioner:

Did you know that milk cream can be used as a hair conditioner? Obviously if it’s that beneficial for the skin, milk cream can also work wonders for your hair. After you’re done shampooing, apply milk cream on your hair the same way you would conditioner. Ensure that you steer clear of your scalp since it can be a tad tricky to get cream off there. This helps to condition dry hair and get rid of the frizz.
