Properties Of Honey And Milk
Honey is rich in antibacterial, antioxidant and antifungal propertiesm (1). It provides soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. On the other hand, milk is rich in minerals and vitamin content, including vitamin A, B and D, calcium, lactic acid and animal protein (2). However, both these ingredients, when mixed together, provide the combined benefits resulting in a radiant and glowing skin.
Out of the many ingredients from the kitchen, honey and milk are the most used in a beauty regime. Adding honey and milk to the warm bath water offers several benefits. You can enhance the effect by adding aromatic essential oils. Instead of going for a commercial product that offers the goodness of milk and honey, you can be better off having your own honey-milk bath at home. Just rinse the milk and honey after the bath with plain, warm water, to experience the soft and smooth skin.
Benefits of a Milk and Honey Bath
1. Gives Smooth Skin
A milk and honey bath leaves your skin supple and soft. The protein and fat content in the milk enriches your bath water and helps exfoliate the skin. The lactic acid present in the milk cleans the dead cells and hydrates the skin, thereby preventing dryness.
2. Provides Relief From Skin Irritations
Adults and children suffering from the uncomfortable skin infections and irritations such as eczema can benefit from the milk and honey bath. It soothes the skin from irritations by healing and nourishing the skin. The antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of honey heal the skin, making it healthy and immune to skin irritation.
3. Anti-Aging Combination
Both milk and honey possess cleansing and antimicrobial properties. That is why numerous cleansers are prepared using these two ingredients. Apart from offering skin cleansing, honey, and milk together also help in slowing down the aging process and keep the skin looking young and beautiful. It removes fine lines from the face and helps in reducing the cellulite dimples from specific areas such as thighs, hips, and upper arms.
The antioxidants present in honey and milk attack the harmful free radicals and eliminate them from the skin. These free radicals are responsible for causing several skin problems, including blotches and wrinkles.
4. Relaxing And Rejuvenating
Honey and milk bath has a rejuvenating and calming effect on your nerves. The milk soothes your skin, and the honey cleanses the skin cells from within, thereby making you feel rejuvenated and fresh. A soak in the honey and milk bath after a hard day’s work gives you the experience of a wonderful spa cleaning. You can add some more ingredients such as sea salt or lavender essential oil to add more aroma and effect to the bath.
