Is it okay to use breast milk to wash an adult's face?

Everyone wants to have fair skin. Some people who love beauty have tried many methods to make their skin smooth and tender. In life, breast milk is the most nutritious. Adults can wash their faces with breast milk. Moreover, washing their faces with breast milk has the effects of whitening, moisturizing, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. There are many benefits to facial skin, but you also need to maintain a good mood and get enough sleep.

Can babies use breast milk to wash their faces?

Breast milk is rich in protein, fat and sugar, which are nutrients that serve as a good culture medium for bacterial growth and reproduction.

The facial skin of a newborn is very delicate and is covered with vernix caseosa, which will gradually be absorbed. After the vernix caseosa is absorbed, the thin epidermis is covered with abundant blood vessels, the skin color is light red, and the permeability is very strong.

At this time, if the mother applies breast milk on the baby's face, the multiplied bacteria will enter the pores and cause redness on the skin, followed by the formation of small sores and then suppuration. If not treated in time, it will ulcerate and form scars. Some babies have poor immunity, which may cause systemic infection.

In addition, after washing your face with breast milk, a tight film is formed on the skin, which makes the skin dry and restricts the movement of facial muscles.

We all know that breast milk is simply a baby's nutrition storehouse, which contains a lot of nutrients. It is because of the excessive nutrition that it provides excellent conditions for the growth of bacteria. If breast milk is exposed to the air, it is easy to breed bacteria and deteriorate. However, babies have tender skin and poor resistance, so how can they withstand the "attack" of thousands of bacteria that penetrate everywhere?

In addition, when breast milk is applied to the skin, it will form a thin film after drying. The baby's skin will feel uncomfortable as if it is "imprisoned", and then you will hear him crying endlessly!

What are the benefits of washing your baby's face with breast milk?

Some mothers like to wash their newborns' faces with their own breast milk after feeding them, believing that washing their newborns' faces frequently with breast milk can make their newborns' skin white and tender. In fact, this practice is harmful rather than beneficial to newborns.

Because breast milk is rich in protein, fat and sugar, these nutrients are also a good culture medium for bacterial growth and reproduction, providing conditions for bacterial growth. Breast milk contains protein and oil, and the skin can absorb the nutrients in the milk. Washing the face with breast milk can make the baby's skin smoother and more lustrous. In addition, the skin of newborns is delicate, rich in blood vessels, and has a thin stratum corneum and strong permeability, which creates favorable conditions for bacteria to enter the body through the pores, thus easily causing folliculitis and even purulent infection of the skin around the hair follicles. If not treated in time, sepsis and systemic infection may occur, which is very dangerous.

The benefits of washing your baby's face with breast milk are just like the effects of women applying facial masks frequently. Children who grow up drinking breast milk have better physical constitution and skin, so parents can wash their baby's face with breast milk according to the condition of their baby's skin. However, it should be noted that if the child's skin is oily, it is not suitable to wash the baby's face with breast milk. Parents should also pay attention to using more moisturizing perfume for their children to avoid frostbite, redness and swelling on the face or dry skin due to winter.

In addition, after washing your face with milk, a tight film may form on the skin, which restricts the movement of facial muscles and is extremely uncomfortable. Besides, washing your face with breast milk will not make your skin white and tender. Remember, never wash your face with breast milk.
