What can you do with expired milk?

Food has a shelf life. Expired food cannot be eaten, otherwise it will cause poisoning or even threaten life. Milk is no exception, but does it have to be thrown away after it expires and goes bad? The answer is of course no. Nowadays, many people know how to live frugally. There are many uses for expired milk, the most common of which is skin care. Below, the editor will introduce in detail how to reuse expired milk.

Make a facial mask

Compared with fresh pure milk, expired pure milk will produce lactic acid, which is a type of fruit acid that can soften cuticles and has a moisturizing effect. Expired milk can be used as a facial mask to moisturize the skin and have a beauty effect. Milk contains a large amount of protein, vitamins and trace elements. Applying it on the skin can effectively improve dryness and dullness.

However, it should be noted that milk that has expired for a short period of time can be used, but milk that has expired for a long time is best not to be used. If expired milk has already clumped, do not use it to make a milk mask, because lactic acid will not clumping, what will clumping is milk protein, which has no effect on exfoliation or moisturizing, and will also produce a large number of bacteria.

Wash your face

Women who love beauty can use expired milk for skin care. The skin care effect of expired milk is no worse than that of fresh milk. Because expired milk produces a large amount of lactic acid, it can soften the cuticle and has a good moisturizing effect. Secondly, although the milk has gone bad, the fat in it has not been destroyed in a short period of time, so the moisturizing effect will not be weakened. From this perspective, expired whole milk is better for skin care than skim milk. It should be noted that if the expired milk has already coagulated, it should not be used. Because when milk protein coagulates, it loses its moisturizing effect and is no longer very effective for skin care.

The above are the magical uses of expired milk. You don’t have to worry about expired milk having adverse effects on your skin, as it has no toxic side effects. As long as the milk expires within a short period of time, its effective nutrients will only be reduced. If there are no lumps, it will not deteriorate drastically.
