Milk Bath
Taking a bath to relax yourself is a mandatory, but how about a little twist of milk to your bath. Prepare the bathtub with hot water filling the tub as you usually do.

Doing this every day will visibly give you more radiant and smooth skin. Make sure to wash yourself after the milk bath so that you look glowing and not dripping milk.
Facial Cleanser
Natural milk is an excellent source of cleanser. We call this one “a two minute facial stop”. Get a cotton ball and dip it into raw milk, apply this all over your face and leave on for about a minute. Then rinse the face with fresh water and Ta-dah!

Milky Feet
Pedicure becomes a must for those who work really long hours and are on their feet almost all day. Milk to the rescue ladies!

Soak your feet in 1 liter of warm water, 2 cups of hot milk, few drops of lemon juice, 4 tablespoons of salt, and for fragrance a drop or two of your shampoo. Soak your feet for about 20 minutes and use a pumice stone to rub off the dry skin. And there you have it your own beautiful looking pedicured soft feet at home.
