Which milk to choose?
- Oat milk: Due to its antioxidant properties, oats can help reverse the damage that UV rays and pollution have caused to your skin. In addition to its moisturizing properties, it eliminates impurities and dead cells. The clay nature of oats makes it an excellent scrub for sensitive skin that cannot tolerate regular exfoliants. Oats are recommended for the most fragile skin, children but also for mature skin, whose collagen production decreases.
- Rice milk: Hydrates and regenerates the skin. Rice is a component that is generally suitable for oily skin. It helps fight against excess sebum, impurities and many more. Thanks to the virtues of this food, the face is soothed and softened while the pores are cleansed. Perfect for pimples and blackheads.
- Coconut milk : Coconut milk is rich in vitamin C and helps maintain skin elasticity and flexibility. It is also rich in copper, so perfect for giving skin tone.
- Almond milk : Almond milk is an excellent source of vitamin A, D and E which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that strengthen the skin's moisture barrier so that it is smoother and more supple. It even helps to increase recovery after tanning.
- Cashew milk: As cashews contain many proteins and antioxidants including selenium, it is good for hair and skin. Using cashew oil in hair helps in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to skin, hair, and eyes.
- Soy milk: Soy protects and repairs your skin, especially thanks to the antioxidant effects it provides. It can therefore protect the skin against oxidative stress induced by UVB rays.
- Cotton milk: Softening, soothing and emollient, it reduces redness and calms irritation.
