Milk, Beyond Nutrition

I was in despair when my favourite face soap, which I received as a sample and cannot be bought in any store, ran out.  Then I realized this was the perfect opportunity for another concoction from my new book EcoBeauty by Lauren Cox, and a good excuse to get together with a friend to experiment.  I have always had trouble skin.  It is sensitive, dry and acne prone.  Yikes.  That is how I came to choose this recipe which is ideal for those with sensitive skin.

Milk Maid Cleanser

1/2 c water
1/4 c whole milk (or soy milk, goat's milk, or hemp milk)
2 tbsp baking soda
1 egg white

Gather ingredients.  I used soy milk in place of whole milk.

Combine water, milk and baking soda.

Separate egg.

Whisk in egg white.

Pour into a container with tight fitting lid.

Ta da!  Store in fridge to keep for up to 3 weeks.  Shake before using.

It is written that the baking soda cleans away dead skin build up, and the milk and egg white nourish and firm the skin.

I used it today in the shower, thought I admit I was a little bit nervous.   (I've heard it doesn't take much heat to end up with a scrambled egg in the shower.)  It felt refreshing on my face, and my skin felt so soft and smooth afterward.

I have to say, I believe it is another success!
