Just pour some milk on a cotton wool ball and wipe off the eye makeup and refresh the skin. There is no need to wash the milk off. Top it off with your regular moisturizer or leave it as it is and enjoy a mild exfoliation as milk sours and gives your skin a natural glow.

Plain Greek-style yogurt also brings excellent results, especially when left on skin for a few minutes and then rinsed off with tepid water. Lactic acid in yogurt, especially when joined by the antibacterial properties of honey, makes an excellent antibacterial cleanser. Simply blend two great natural foods with a fork or stick blender.

Dried milk powder (or a baby formula) and finely ground almond meal, mixed in equal proportions, make a great natural scrub. You can also use soy milk powder for added antiaging skin firming benefits.
