For decades we’ve heard about the formula that was beloved amongst the royals of Egypt, but what is it about Milk & Honey Gold that’s so beneficial and how has it stood the test of time?
The power of the ingredients
Milk and Honey are more than a yummy baking ingredient. In skincare, they provide us with:
Exfoliation: Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), an ingredient that gently exfoliates the skin, removes dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover for a smoother complexion.
Soothing and moisturising: Milk is one of nature's best skin conditioners with skin softening and moisturising properties. As it contains Lactic Acid, it contributes moisturisation as well as calcium, vitamins and minerals.
Honey is one of the oldest known skincare ingredients, Honey is recognised for its skin softening, smoothing and revitalising properties. Rich in sugars, vitamins and minerals, it locks precious moisture into the skin, gently exfoliates and helps promote skin regeneration.
How have Milk and Honey stood the test of time?
These ingredients get their support from the scientific community, modern research supports the benefits of Milk and Honey, validating their softening and soothing properties. But these two sumptuous ingredients have far more history than that. Milk and Honey have stood the test of time in the skincare world due to their longstanding effectiveness but also versatility. History takes us back to the ancient Egyptian civilization where it was popular to take milk baths to keep your skin soft while honey was used by the Greeks and the Romans for its healing properties. But what makes it so extra special? Times have changed but Milk and Honey has not…or has it? Two natural ingredients such as these don’t need to bend with the trends, but they do it either way. One of the reasons why Milk and Honey remain iconic in the skincare world is the versatility they provide. They are: Suitable for most: Milk and Honey are gentle enough to be used on most skin types. Multiple benefits: Their combined benefits of hydrating and exfoliating properties make them versatile ingredients that can help with various skin concerns. Milk and Honeys popularity reaches beyond its benefits and into the cultural and social structures of different times. Not only were these two ingredients affordable and accessible, but they were also culturally endorsed. Many cultures have passed down these beauty rituals with the two main ingredients which has naturally reinforced their reputations and continued use and inspired this little article I’m writing for you.
