Milk is beneficial for your health, because it’s packed with vitamins, biotin, potassium, calcium, lactic acid, magnesium, selenium, and protein. But did you know raw milk can do wonders for your skin too? Yes it’s true, milk can keep you fit, inside and out.

There are various reasons why raw milk is the perfect home remedy for youthful and glowing skin. It helps to protect skin from free radicals, fades spots and marks, brightens your skin, enhances hydration, slows down wrinkles, fine lines, and the ageing process, and also promotes skin elasticity. What’s more, it can give you radiant skin.

You can use raw milk in many ways. Let’s find out how: 

1. Raw milk as a face moisturiser

Raw milk is packed with vitamin A, D, B6, B12, biotin, calcium, protein, and other nutrients, which make it the best ingredient to nourish your skin. These properties of raw milk can hydrate and moisturise your skin, thereby helping you solve the issue of dryness and itchiness.

Here’s how you can use raw milk as moisturiser:
