The white gold of cosmetics: milk
There is an important correlation between beauty routine and happiness. This is revealed by some scientific research. According to the same, the green formulas and the attention to buy harmless products for the environment and animals, are a great emotional lever that extinguishes the sense of guilt and helps not to produce the stress hormone. The feelings of well-being perceived when we take care of ourselves isn’t only an impression, but an absolute truth.
A good cosmetic is a synthesis of the one that combines an effective “skin feel” sensory pathway in perfect balance between smell and touch.

Milk & Silk
From Cleopatra and Poppea, since ancient times, milk was chosen for its multiple cosmetic properties. In addition to being rich in vitamins and minerals , which help remove dead cells, prevents wrinkles and brightens the complexion . Ideal for sensitive skin and to combat dryness, body milk right now I’m the must have at home.
However, its lightening and purifying action isn’t limited to the skin, in fact milk is also perfect for hair. If extinguished and arid, they will regain light and silkiness.
The white gold of cosmetics which, now more than ever, becomes the essential ally of our long days of imprisonment. For a Queen’s Day Spa.

The Milk Ritual
The first step for a Day Spa that can give us serenity and beauty is to create the atmosphere and there is nothing better than to do it with a scented candle , perhaps just of the brand Milkhouse Candle Co.
Now that the atmosphere is ready we need to decide which facial treatment to treat yourself. I decided to propose two alternatives, to be chosen according to needs.
Hydrating Milky Collection di Pixi
Unlike the name suggests, it does not contain pure milk, as much as the pro-biotics of the same. These are accompanied by ingredients such as shea butter, jojoba milk and various extracts such as oats or coconut, which together combine to formulate both natural and effective formulas.
The steps that formulate this ritual are six:
1. Make-up Remover : comforts and nourishes the skin by cleaning it from make-up as well as from fine powders ;
2. Cleanser : deeply cleanses the skin and soothes it to avoid redness ;
3. Peel : eliminates dead cells and gives brightness to the skin ;
4. Tonic : re-balances the skin’s pH and prepares it for the next step ;
5. Serum : moisturizes and protects the skin making it more elastic ;
6. Lotion : nourishes the skin, concluding the ritual, and makes the face radiant and rested .
Ziaja Goat’s Milk
This line chooses goat milk as the main ingredient. This is because it has the ability to act as a carrier, that is, it facilitates the opening of the pores. It prepares the epidermis to accept nutrients and allows them to penetrate faster and deeper into the skin.
The steps that formulate this ritual are three:
1. Duo-Phase Make-up Remover : cleans the skin from make-up (also waterproof) as well as from fine powders, preventing skin irritation ;
2. Eye Cream : smoothes wrinkles and gives elasticity to the skin ;
3. Face Mask : deeply nourishes and leaves the skin soft and silky to the touch .
Additional steps
I add as a step, albeit not tied to the face, the application of the hand cream (always from this line) to regenerate the skin put to the test by the continuous washing of the hands and use of disinfectant gels.
This ritual ends with the use of a good lip balm , such as that of EOS which leaves them soft and revitalized, and then goes on to hair . A wash with L’Oréal Professionnel Expert Series choosing the most suitable formula for your scalp: Instant Clear , nourishing against dandruff, or Pure Resource, cleanser for oily hair.

Thank you for reminding me about milk-based skin products! Yes, I’ve seen someone who has really nice skin, and her secret is bathing in milk. And I kid not.
Everyday we watch so many links and adds of different products but you have shared the milk based products that is amazing. Thanks for sharing good knowledge.
You have enlightened me about milk based skin care concept. Legend has it that ancient beauties use milk in their beauty rituals ….. ah I could use some pampering ?? with milk.
I love seeing “milk” in beauty products – all the milk inspired products I’ve used have been hydrating, silky, and gentle. But I never knew it had this history. Will have to give these products a shot xx
I might have to try these products. Great post.
These sound awesome! I’ve always liked this brand so I’ll have to try this out for sure.
Thank you for reminding me about milk-based skin products! Love Pixi 🙂
Milk based products for beauty treatments have been used for centuries . They have such good qualities. I am making a note of these products to check out.
These products seem so simple. I do like using simple products with safe ingredients
I’ve heard of this brand. Sounds like it’s awesome. I have been trying to find some new skincare products!
This makes me want to try this out! I’ve heard a lot of good things about milk used on skin… thank you for sharing!
I am loving all of this! I need to see how much is available in America. And I would love to have a spa day. Unlike most of the rest of the world, I am busier than ever and not really getting much free time. What little free time I get goes to my kids. But I should be taking more time for myself apart from work.
I’ll definitely look into trying this out. Thanks for sharing!
Love the Pixi range, my skin is crying out for some good hydration
Ho sentito parlare spesso e bene dei cosmetici Pixi, ma non ho mai comprato niente. Adesso che ho letto la tua recensione voglio provarli anch’io.
I love the Pixi line! I have sensitive skin and Pixi really helps me from breaking out more. Plus, they are so high quality.
You must have read my mind – I have been wondering what is missing from my routine because I am not getting the soft supple skin I desire. I have used milk products occasionally before and this is exactly what I think I’m looking for. Thanks for providing links to some great products!
I am always on the search for a good makeup remover. I’m going to have to check this one out! I love that it’s effective but, at the same time, isn’t harsh on your skin!
Sounds like some great products! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Pixi, but I’ve yet to try anything from their line!

I’ll have to check these out. I need to start doing better with my skincare regimen….I’m getting to that particular age where I am noticing wrinkles!
Sounds like some amazing products! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Pixi. I need to try their line.

Once I tried the Goat lotion I wasnt too thrilled with the smell. This product you have seems very promising I would like to check it out.
These suggestions seem awesome. I would like to try some of them. I have heard good reports on body milk.
I always hear about milk based products for the skin. You have shared the milk based products that sounds amazing. I will look for these products. Thanks for sharing.
I have the Pixi products but have yet to try them though I like so much of what they make.
okay I’ve had pixi products but I never really used them, probably because I had so much other stuff. It’s hard for me to imagine that something (milk) that is so generally bad autoimmune system could be so good for the skin!
I never quit my skincare routine, although some days I have a very basic one. Thank you for so many great skincare suggestions!
I had no idea that milk was so important and helpful for my skin! Thank you!
Ohh wow all of these skincare products sound ace, I really need to invest in a few new things for my skin this summer

Very interesting. I don’t use too much face products but there are some that I may give a try!
