Milk contains lactic acid, which will naturally help remove the dead skin build-up on your face. This classic milk mask recipe makes a mask for two and works beautifully on dry skin.

Not sure if you have dry skin? Find out for sure in my article, How to Tell If You Have Dry Skin.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp powdered milk
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 tsp aloe vera gel
  • 2 drops essential oil

Preparation

Mix ingredients well, apply to face, let sit for 15 minutes, wash off with warm water.

This recipe is enough for two. (Note: The original recipe called for 1 tbsp pulverized almonds, but I have removed it from the ingredients list because almonds, no matter how pulverized, can tear at skin).
