Revive Your Complexion With My Milk Exfoliant Recipe

Milk can do wonders for the skin.

Something nice you can do for your face today is to try this homemade recipe for my milk exfoliant. It is so simple to make with only three ingredients, but it will do wonders for your freshly washed complexion and its texture.

The combination of milk, which is loaded with lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and lemon juice, another AHA, makes this beneficial exfoliant work harder to gently remove dead skin cells and encourage healthy new cells to emerge.  Try it yourself to see how beautifully your complexion will respond.

My Milk Exfoliant Recipe

1-1/2  tablespoons powdered milk
1-1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice (fresh is best)
3/4 teaspoon of warm water

Mix the ingredients together until you have a paste like consistency that is spreadable.

Apply to your face and start rubbing, but avoid the eye area.  

Keep the exfoliant on for about a minute before you should rinse it off with cool water.

Do You Have a Problem With Sweaty, Foul-Smelling Feet?

This post can help solve an embarrassing problem.

Some people have feet that sweat more than others.  The problem can be made worse by wearing synthetic shoes over natural materials like leather, which allows the feet to breathe more instead of locking the moisture in the shoe.  Think back to summer and plastic sandals like clogs and remember the stench once you slipped them off to understand how the material of the shoe makes such a difference in the amount of the odor that is released.

What else that helps is to soak your feet in a basin of tepid water with some apple cider vinegar to disinfect the bacteria causing that perspiration. Pour in about three tablespoons for your soak for about 10 or 15 minutes.  You can also use white vinegar, but I prefer the apple cider vinegar because it is powerful enough to act as a fungicide as well.  

If you go to the gym and workout, you could possibly come in contact with a foot fungus that can discolor a toenail or even develop Athlete’s Foot, if you’re not careful.  I say if you are going to soak, then don’t take chances and safeguard your feet with an apple cider vinegar soak.

Just for the record, if you think you might have a fungus that is making your toenail look strange, then I have a suggestion that may help.  Do soak your feet first in the apple cider vinegar and then apply some VicksVapoRub over the area.  Cover with a pair of white cotton socks.  Continue this procedure for a few days and it should improve, if not totally clear up.

Don’t worry if you think that you will smell like salad.  Soap and water and a nice hot shower or bath will fix that. 

I do hope you try these tips because they do help!
