Whole milk contains lactic acid, which can be slightly beneficial for sensitive skin, dry skin, or rosacea. It's not particularly useful for acne. Salt is naturally drying (dehydrating) to the skin (which is why sea water and swimming in the ocean helps some people's acne), so that can be somewhat helpful. Salt can also be used as a scrub, but it's a little rough for consistent use on the face. A scrub like St. Ive's Blemish-Fighting Apricot Cleanser is a better deal and has actual acne-fighting ingredients.





Milk baths (like Cleopatra once used) are sometimes recommended for people with very dry, rough, sensitive skin -- however, considering that milk costs $4 to $5 a gallon (and you'd need to use a whole gallon for an entire bath), it's much more economical to just buy some moisturizing cleanser, which usually lasts a month.





Don't rely on home remedies to take care of your skin that you will be living with for a lifetime.
Never heard of it but here are some of the tips I use:





Change your pillow case often, dont touch your face, wash twice a day, use a scrub, stay away from oily foods.





The reason some may think it will work is because the salt acts as a scrub, but you can use anything like sugar, baking soda etc.
NO! that wont work. I had the unfortunate happening of that and I lmost threw up when just the smell hit me.
to get rid of acne, or limit the outbursts. drink LOADS of water, like literally double your daily dosage. remove fizzy drinks and sugary items from your diet. don't smoke as well if you do as this blocks your pores up. by drinking loads of water, you are constantly flushing your system out, which will remove the germs from blocking up your skin. also boil water and place your head over it, so the steam rises into your face, this will open up your pores, and then use an exfoilating scrub, and slow scrub out blackheads, and other clogged up germs. this will prevent future out burst and leave your skin feeling clean. milk does not get rid of acne, it soothes the urge to pick at it, which would only cause more.
