Reduces The Appearance Of Ageing Signs
The antioxidants present in honey help in preventing the appearance of ageing signs like wrinkles and fine lines. Rubbing these cubes on your face everyday help in increasing the elasticity of your skin and further make your face look young and glowing.
Hydrates Your Skin
During these hot summers, you constantly need to hydrate your skin. Both milk and honey have moisturising properties. Honey is a natural humectant and draws moisture into the skin from the air. Applying milk and honey cubes will help you keep your skin hydrated and fresh all day long.
Evens Out Skin Tone
You can use raw milk to make these cubes as it is more beneficial for your skin. It helps control the hormone melanin which is responsible for skin darkening. On the other hand, honey has antioxidants that make your skin glow. Using these cubes will help you remove the unwanted tan and also correct your uneven skin tone.
Though both honey and milk are natural ingredients and shouldn't have any side effects on your skin, make sure you do a patch test with these cubes on your hand before applying them directly to your face to prevent any skin issues.
