Milk and Honey Scrub Benefits
The benefits of a milk face scrub are many. Let's take a look!
- The lactic acid in milk is an alpha-hydroxy acid that naturally eats away dead skin cells, which is great for natural exfoliation.
- Sugar is also a natural exfoliant that helps polish the skin.
- Honey helps open your pores, clearing away dirt and oil. It is also antibacterial, soit'ss very effective in preventing and treating unwanted acne.
- Honey is also a natural emollient that helps hydrate your skin.
In addition, a honey and milk mask/scrub contains antioxidants that help curb the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face. Yes, please!
Oh, you can also cure dry, chapped lips with this stuff! Bonus!
How to Use
Here's how to use your milk and honey sugar scrub.
- Start with a clean face. Once your Milk and Honey Scrub is mixed and ready, apply it all over your face in circular motions.
- let it sit for a few minutes, and then wash off.
TIP -It's best to open your pores with warm water before use to increase the effectiveness.
If you want to use it as a mask, how long should you leave your milk and honey scrub on your face? That depends on how sensitive your skin is, but a general guideline is about 30 minutes.
Our skin is fine when we keep it on for more than an hour while we do household chores - well, glowing, to be exact!
Use on wet skin 1–2 times a week to gently exfoliate and nourish your skin.

What type of milk is the best for this process
Erin Henry says
We used regular low-fat milk, but you can use whatever type of milk you have on hand.
keerthana says
Will this clear open pores???
Erin Henry says
This will exfoliate, so indirectly it will clear pores. A clay mask is better to deep clean pores.
Toni says
Can you use this with dry milk instead for it to keep longer?
Erin Henry says
We have not tried this recipe with dry milk so we are not sure of the results. We believe the recipe would last longer, but it may not have all the therapeutic benefits.
