milk for oily skin - #19005

Priya

I am really confused about this whole milk for oily skin thing. A few weeks ago, I started noticing my skin getting super oily, like I could practically fry an egg on my forehead. I tried some over-the-counter products which didn’t really help much, and a friend mentioned using milk for oily skin. At first, I thought she was joking, but then I looked it up and there are actually people raving about milk for oily skin! So, I gave it a shot. I splashed some milk on my face in the morning and just left it there for a little while. I expected some sort of miracle but I didn’t notice much change. At least the smell was nice? I don't know. I have read some articles that also recommended combining milk with lemon or honey too, but would that even help if the milk itself didn’t work? I wonder if everyone's skin reacts the same way, ya know? I’m just lookin for advice here—should I keep trying milk for oily skin or ditch it and move on to something else? Am I missing a key step or something? Any thoughts would really help!

Doctors' responses

Milk and other natural remedies often come up in discussions about skincare, but their effectiveness can vary widely between individuals. Milk is said to contain lactic acid, which gently exfoliates skin, but it’s not exactly a magic solution for oily skin, especially if the oiliness is significant. If you didn’t notice any change after using milk, it might be that your skin needs something more targeted. Adding lemon juice might bring in some astringent properties and honey could offer some antibacterial benefits, but these combinations still may not address excessive oiliness effectively for everyone. Over-the-counter products you tried might not have been suitable; sometimes these products can be too drying or irritating, which can paradoxically cause skin to produce more oil. It’s important to use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser designed for oily skin, and possibly incorporate a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide-based treatment to clear up anything that may be clogging your pores. Being consistent with a routine is usually key. If you find the oiliness doesn’t improve and particularly if you’re getting acne or other skin issues, consulting a dermatologist would be wise. They can provide you with more personalized advice, potentially including prescription medications if needed. Feel free to ditch the milk if it’s not helping, as sticking to well-researched products is generally a safer bet. Keep in mind that everyone’s skin reaction can be quite individual and sometimes finding the right products is just trial and error.
