【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.

傳說，埃及女王克利奧帕特拉每天用酸驢奶洗澡，以改善皮膚的膚色，減少皺紋。
 
Altcheck博士不建議在腐爛的牛奶中洗澡，但乳制品確實(shí)含有蛋白質(zhì)和維生素E和鋅等滋養(yǎng)皮膚的礦物質(zhì)。
 
維生素E中和自由基的作用，自由基是導(dǎo)致皮膚干燥，細(xì)紋和皺紋的分子。它們還會(huì)破壞膠原蛋白或使皮膚保持在一起的結(jié)締組織。
 
同時(shí)，維生素D已被證明可以減少粉刺，增加皮膚彈性，減少黑斑的出現(xiàn)。
 
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(fù)紫外線，風(fēng)，陽光，污染物和污染的速度。
 
皮膚科醫(yī)生補(bǔ)充說，牛奶中另一種關(guān)鍵成分乳酸也具有護(hù)膚功效。
 
“乳酸是一種治療產(chǎn)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(xì)胞，從而揭示隱藏在其下的新的健康皮膚細(xì)胞。
 

濃度較高時(shí)，它還可以減少色素沉著，使皮膚變亮。
