Goodbye, Dry!

Looking for a natural way to smooth, hydrate, and exfoliate fall and winter skin? Here’s an idea: coddle yourself with milk – goat’s milk. This favorable elixir is among the Who’s Who in beauty history. It has been reported that Cleopatra soaked in goat’s milk baths to soften her skin. Today, goat’s milk can be found in a vast selection of beauty products to perk up tight skin, in everything from facial creams, cleansers, soaps, body lotions, balms, and foot creams–to foaming bubble baths, baby care, hair repair, and much more.

Hello, Soft!

Considered a natural emollient that helps balance the skin’s pH, goat’s milk contains more nutrients, minerals, proteins, and vitamins than cow’s milk. Rich, creamy goat’s milk absorbs beautifully into the skin, promoting healthy skin. It ‘s hard to believe, but goat’s milk also contains natural properties believed to act as a natural exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells, leaving skin extra soft. Goat’s milk is high in protein, lipids, vitamins A and C, calcium, and folic acid. The goat’s milk is used in soaps, lotions, and creams because it is very nourishing for skin and has been known to help people with sensitive skin and chronic skin conditions. Because goat’s milk is so high in vitamins, minerals, proteins and lipids, your skin and hair may become healthier the more you use goat milk products. Lipids help nourish your skin and remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple. Our skin is our largest organ, and we absorb  approximately 60% of what we put onto our skin into our bloodstream. Doesn’t it make sense to use natural skin care products made with goat’s milk?

Milking at Home

You can even try goat’s milk in your home beauty formulations. “When you think of milk as a beauty ingredient, you think instantly of cow’s milk—however, goat’s milk works equally well. In fact, more people consume goat’s milk than any other milk in the world,” says Janice Cox, a natural beauty expert who speaks on television and radio programs and the author of Natural Beauty at Home. “Powdered milk is easier to use and store. But, some feel the high heat needed to dry out the milk alters its content. For beauty use, this should not be a concern,” Cox notes, “but more of a concern when consuming or for infants.”
