【英語閱讀】牛奶浴可改善肌膚。

Legend says that Egyptian queen Cleopatra bathed daily in sour donkey's milk to improve the complexion1 of her skin and reduce wrinkles.
 
Dr Altcheck doesn't recommend bathing in rotted milk, but says the dairy product does contain protein and skin-nourishing minerals like vitamin E and zinc.
 
Vitamin E neutralizes3 the effect of free radicals, which are molecules that cause skin dryness, fine lines and wrinkles. They also damage collagen, or the connective tissues that keep your skin together.
 
Meanwhile, Vitamin D has been shown to minimize acne, increase skin elasticity, and lessen the appearance of dark spots.
 
Dr Altcheck also says that the two vitamins have healing properties.
 
'Vitamin D and vitamin E will also help accelerate how fast the skin repairs itself from UV rays, wind, sun, contaminants and pollution,' he told Daily Mail Online.
 
The dermatologist adds that another key ingredient in milk, lactic acid, also has skincare benefits.
 
'Lactic acid is a healing product which helps the skin become smoother,' he said.
 
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid, which encourages the skin to shed its old, dead skin cells to reveal the new, healthy skin cells hidden underneath.
 
In higher concentrations, it also works to reduce pigmentation and brighten the skin.

Altcheck博士還說，這兩種維生素具有治療作用。
 
他告訴Daily Mail Online，維生素D和維生素E還有助于加速皮膚修復紫外線，風，陽光，污染物和污染的速度。
 
皮膚科醫生補充說，牛奶中另一種關鍵成分乳酸也具有護膚功效。
 
“乳酸是一種治療產品，可以幫助皮膚變得更光滑，”他說。
 
乳酸是一種α-羥基酸，它可以促使皮膚脫落舊的死皮細胞，從而揭示隱藏在其下的新的健康皮膚細胞。
