f you’ve been following beauty trends, you’ll know that it seems like we’re transcending from serums to milky skincare products, which is an innovative twist. Although the truth remains that lots of people were already into milky skincare before it became a thing, it was Hailey Beiber who added the newfound steam the trend currently runs on. Thanks to Beiber’s Rhode glazing milk and social media, milk is now on everyone’s agenda. But why milk? Are we now splattering cow’s produce on our skin, or is milky skincare yet another fancy beauty name?
What is milky skincare?
We all love milk (unless you are lactose intolerant), but did you know that the use of milk for skincare dates back to the Roman Empire when elites would soak themselves in a tub filled with milk and perfumed oils? Today’s milky skin care isn’t about slathering our bodies with milk from animals, it’s about skincare products that have the texture and viscosity in rich milky white. Compared to serums and moisturizers, some milky products are way lighter and have the same consistency as your favorite milk. While some products may or may not contain milk, they take this name for their appearance.

Dermatologists and aestheticians are tirelessly working to come up with something fresh that would benefit our skin, especially with the change in seasons and life stages. Another reason for the momentum of this trend is its hydrating and penetrating ability. Being more of a liquid than serums, it’s way easier for milky products to penetrate deeply into the skin.

From the reviews on Instagram and TikTok, milky skincare creates a noticeable dewy and glowy effect. It’s perfect for every skin type, especially for people with dry skin who benefit from its hydrating qualities. The main point is this: everyone can use milky products as long as they’re not allergic to the ingredients they contain.
How to incorporate the milky products into your skincare routine
Milky skin care products come in a ton of varieties. Incorporating milk products into your skincare routine can be done in various ways, including:
Use a milk cleanser: A milk cleanser has a creamy, milky texture and is used to gently remove makeup, dirt, and impurities from the skin. To use, apply a small amount to your face, massage in circular motions, and then rinse with water or wipe off with a damp cloth.
Try a milk bath soak: Milk bath soaks are luxurious and nourishing for the skin. Simply add the milk product to your warm bathwater and soak for 15-20 minutes. The milky texture will leave your skin feeling soft and hydrated.
Explore a milk lotion: After cleansing, apply the milk lotion to your skin, gently massaging it in. It provides hydration and can be used both morning and night.
Use milk serum or glazing milk: Milk serums are often lighter and contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamins for added skin benefits. Apply a few drops of the serum to your face and neck, then gently pat it into your skin. Serums are usually applied before moisturizer.
“Got Milk?” isn’t just a question about dairy products anymore. It’s an invitation to explore the world of milky skincare and pamper your skin like never before. Whether you’re a skincare newbie or a seasoned pro, there’s a milky product out there waiting to pump up your skincare routine.
