Of course, milk alone will not replace you full skin care, which includes not only cleansing, but also toning with moisturizing and nourishment. It perfectly complements skin care in cases where the skin needs gentle cleansing.
Milk for removing makeup is recommended for use in dry skin, or mature skin, when dryness is an age sign. There are varieties of milk, which can be safely recommended for oily skin. It all depends on the combination of milk components. Since each cosmetic product is a mixture of water-based components and fat-based components, and milk is not an exception, any type of milk can dissolve and remove all kinds of contaminants.

It will, of course, not be as durable as the store one, most likely, it will have to be stored in the refrigerator. However, such milk will bring real pleasure to the lovers of pampering their skin with something useful and unique.
Do not worry if you already know how to make the milk itself to remove makeup, but have not yet decided what you will keep it. It will come in handy empty jars of cosmetics. If you do not throw them away, then contribute to the movement of the "green". Moreover, some vessels are very beautiful, and you do not want to throw them out. Above the factory label with the name, perhaps quite another means, you can paste a beautiful ribbon or a piece of paper. Very effectively looks homemade cosmetics in bottles from medicines. Brown glass will help the medium to suffer less from direct sunlight.
So, below you will see a few recipes, how to make the milk itself to remove makeup.
Take the infusion of marigold on the water. It is made from dried or fresh flowers. A tablespoon of flowers is poured into a glass of boiling water and insisted for several hours. We need 0.5-0.75 glasses of this infusion. Pound one egg yolk with a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Now mix all the ingredients: marigold extract, yolk with butter, 250 ml of fresh milk cream, squeezed out of 3 lemons juice, a few drops of essential oil of orange or lemon, 25 g of camphor oil and one tablespoon of honey. Honey, incidentally, is needed to ensure that when mixing all the components, they form a homogeneous mass as much as possible, and not a clearly expressed biphasic (ie, the oils do not float at the top of the mixture). Otherwise, you'll have to shake the mixture before each use. The mixture is stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. Suitable milk for removing makeup from oily skin, especially in the cold season.
For normal skin, you can make a simpler formulation: continuously stirring, to a glass of cream gradually add the yolk, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, a tablespoon of cognac. The mixture is stored in a refrigerator in a glass container.
Finally, for dry skin, we will prepare a mixture with the addition of medicinal herbs. 100 grams of milk cream are mixed with 2 yolks and 5 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add 30 grams of herbal infusion (alternating, chamomile - all that is recommended for sensitive skin), diluted in 25 grams of vodka and 2 tablespoons of glycerin.
Let's analyze each composition. For oily skin we take more lemon juice, because because of it the cream can curl up, we must add honey. Camphoric oil improves the blood supply to the skin, in conjunction with other components will activate the process of skin cells. The complexion will improve. The skin will be more elastic and taut.
Herbal infusion, which is added to milk for dry skin, should have a soothing effect on it. Herbs are an additional source of vitamins. The substances that are contained in the egg yolk (note, we added two yolks to the last milk, and not one), restore the hydrolipid balance of the skin. Simply put, yolks are needed to moisturize the skin and to help keep the moisture.
Each of the recipes is designed to prepare 100-150 g of milk. This volume with regular use is just consumed during the time that you can store milk in the refrigerator. If you are afraid that the cream will thicken, take not ready-made cream, but remove them from the settled milk. Those cream that are sold in bags, too, usually do not thicken. These recipes are designed for use with both conventional and waterproof cosmetics. However, you should refrain from using milk to remove makeup from the eyes, especially if you took a prescription for dry skin. Lemon juice and other ingredients can cause eye irritation. To admirers of natural cosmetics it is possible to advise to use in this case castor oil.
