- Although it's not dangerous to get the milk into your eyes, you won't want to get it in your eyes.

If you like what the milk for skin does to your face, you may want to consider taking a milk bath. And no, you don't have to buy 10 gallons of milk to do so!
Cleopatra, a lady known for her soft beautiful skin, is said to have taken a milk bath once a day.
Lactic acid that is found in milk and yogurt acts as an exfoliant, and helps dissolve the 'dead glue' that keeps our skin cells from opening up, which is how it helps open up the pores and cleanse the skin. Exfoliation is where you scrub away the top layer of dead skin.
Simple Milk Bath Recipe Making your own milk bath is really simple.
Just add a quart of milk or buttermilk to your bath water, soak in it for about twenty minutes and use a loofah or wash cloth to gently scrub your skin.
Scrub your skin in circular motions, being careful in more tender areas so you don't burn the skin, to get all the dead skin off.
When you are done, rinse all the milk from your skin with a warm shower.
You will want to wipe the oils off the tub immediately while they are easy to wipe off, and don't worry if your skin is a little oily. This is a natural skin process when you use milk for skin remedies.
Exfoliating the skin too much can actually deplete it of it's natural oils and the milk replenishes those oils, creating beautiful baby soft skin.
