Milk is an excellent protein source for the body. It is also great for the skin because it contains lactic acid, which performs the functions of a mild alpha hydroxy acid. It is a gentle exfoliator that removes dead cells and keeps your skin fresh.

Eczema is an itchy and physically disturbing situation that lactic acid can control. Studies have been conducted into the efficacy, and some found positive results, while others were inconclusive. Either way, a milk bath will soothe your skin.

If you ever get tangled in poison ivy, you can use a milk bath to combat the symptoms. It will soothe the itchiness, inflammation, and redness in the area.

Reducing the prevalence of dry skin is a practical reason you need to take milk baths now and then. A long soak will help replenish body moisture if you constantly deal with dry skin. It contains fat, vitamins, and lactic acid, all of which will soften and soothe your skin when applied.
