For inflamed skin, instead of water, add chamomile or lime tea. After washing, blot the face with a cotton swab, and apply a moisturizer to the moist skin.
Dairy baths
Here we can not fail to mention the famous bath of Cleopatra. The use of milk and honey in cosmetology plays a decisive role here.

Milk scrub for body
Milk scrub cleanses the skin and gives it an amazing softness. And you can prepare it as follows: mix 1 glass of sugar, 3 tablespoons of butter (coconut, olive, almond oil), 4 teaspoons of milk, a few drops of fresh lemon juice. You can add 1-2 drops of pink essential oils. Apply the mixture by massage on the skin, then rinse with water.
What kind of milk to take as a basis for the preparation of all of the above means, does not matter. But there are already differences in the use of dairy products. Milk has a lower fat content, it also does not contain lactic acid bacteria, which can cause fermentation. These processes can not bear the gentle, sensitive skin. Therefore, it is used mainly for the preparation of nutritious and soothing masks. Sour cream, for example, can serve as the basis for rejuvenating, whitening, drying masks. It will help dry and aging skin to replenish the fatty component of the skin and cope with fermentation processes with oily skin.
In general, the use of milk and dairy products is so multifunctional in cosmetology that it is impossible to count everything. To them you can add infusions of herbs, vegetable and essential oils, honey, eggs, etc. The only "but" that these products are processed in stores, accordingly, useful components to us in the body will get much less.
