Can breast milk be used for beauty?

Breast milk is the milk produced by lactating mothers, and is generally used to feed babies. However, many people also believe that breast milk can achieve good beauty effects. In fact, although breast milk can beautify your skin, it also has certain hidden dangers. For example, if the breast milk provider has an infectious disease, these diseases will be transmitted to the user. So be careful with breast milk beauty!

1. Can breast milk be used for beauty care?

Human milk is also called milk, and the ancients also called it "immortal wine". Its origin is self-evident; it is flat in nature, sweet and salty in taste, contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, emulsified calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins and other ingredients. It is extremely nutritious and was also a beauty product for the ancients. The ancients knew very early on that human milk could be used to maintain health, treat diseases, cook delicious food, and even beautify the skin.

2. Breast milk has very high requirements for the storage environment

As we all know, breast milk is the most natural, safest and most complete natural food for infant growth. It contains all the nutrients and antibodies needed for infant growth. However, experts revealed that breast milk is very susceptible to bacterial infection and has very high requirements for the storage environment. Generally, after leaving the human body, breast milk cannot be preserved if the indoor temperature is above 37°C. It can be preserved for about 4 hours at 25°C~27°C. If it is preserved for too long, it will easily breed bacteria. If the maker adds fruits, milk, honey and other ingredients when making breast milk soap and does not take corresponding preservative measures, it will easily breed bacteria. Breast milk, saliva, secretions, and blood can all transmit disease. If the provider of breast milk is unhealthy, diseases such as hepatitis A and hepatitis C may be transmitted.

3. Breast milk has no cleansing effect

In addition, experts also remind everyone that breast milk itself does not have a cleansing effect, and has no whitening or moisturizing effects on adult skin. Although the nutrients in breast milk are the best for babies, its beauty effects are minimal and may even cause allergies. Just as the protein in breast milk can be broken down by digestive enzymes and absorbed by the human body, direct contact with the skin may cause allergies and other problems. Quality supervision experts suggest that there are many cleaning products specifically suitable for children and pregnant women at home and abroad, and the country has very strict testing. If you consider that babies or pregnant women need to use special toiletries, it is recommended that citizens buy them in regular stores.
