does applying milk on face cause acne - #19359

Rhea

I am trying to figure something out because my skin has been acting all weird lately. A few weeks ago, I heard that applying milk on your face could be good for moisturizing and brightening. I thought, why not? So, I started using it every couple of days. At first, my skin felt pretty soft and I was like, cool, this is working, right? But then, out of nowhere, I noticed some breakouts, and now I’m super worried! I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence, but I keep wondering, does applying milk on face cause acne? I mean, I’ve read mixed things online. Some say it’s great for your skin, while others mention that dairy can lead to breakouts, especially if you’re prone to acne in the first place. And I definitely have a history of acne. I don’t know if it's just my skin getting used to the milk or what. I mean, I tried washing my face more and even used a different moisturizer but I just can’t shake off this feeling that maybe it’s the milk! Does applying milk on face cause acne like my skin seems to be suggesting? Should I stop using it altogether? I’d love some advice because I'm a bit lost here!

Doctors' responses

Applying milk directly to your face may indeed contribute to acne, particularly if your skin is predisposed to breakouts. Milk contains hormones, such as androgens, which can stimulate oil glands and possibly lead to acne formation. Additionally, milk residues might clog pores, further contributing to breakouts, especially when skin is not fully cleansed afterwards. If you have a history of acne, your skin may be more sensitive to such changes, making it likely that the milk application is a factor in your recent breakouts. It’s important to consider any other changes in your skincare routine or lifestyle that could contribute to the flare-ups. Stress, diet, and even hormonal fluctuations play a significant role in acne development. However, if you’ve recently started using milk and noticed a temporal correlation with your breakouts, it’s reasonable to suspect it’s at least a partial trigger. I suggest stopping the application of milk to see if your skin improves over the next few weeks. Make sure to stick with a gentle skincare routine: using a mild cleanser, a non-comedogenic moisturizer, and perhaps incorporating an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid if your acne persists. Always patch-test any new product. If acne continues to be a concern or worsens, consulting a dermatologist would be prudent as they could offer tailored treatments and possibly identify any underlying issues you might not be aware of.
