is applying milk on face good - #15539
I am really confused about this whole idea of “is applying milk on face good”. Like, my friends keep telling me how amazing it is for your skin and all, but I don't know, I have sensitive skin and I've had some weird reactions to stuff before. Last week, I tried a DIY face mask with milk, honey, and a bit of turmeric 'cause I read it could help with dry patches. The next day, my skin was super irritated and I was like, uh oh, was that from the milk? Or maybe I used too much turmeric? I thought milk is supposed to be good for moisturizing or something, right? What’s up with that? I’ve also seen people chatting about how “milk is good for brightening skin” and I am curious if that’s true? Some say the lactic acid in milk can exfoliate or something? Just trying to figure out whether "is applying milk on face good" or if it's just hype. Another weird thing is I’ve read both sides: some swear by it while others say to stay away from it? Ughhh, I just want to know if I should give it another shot or stick to just my regular moisturizer. Help?
