Milk is considered to be an effective remedy for clear and glowing skin, but since we cannot all take infamous milk baths like Cleopatra, we can take care of our skin with milk supplements. Milk powder is basically milk in which the water content has been evaporated and only solid material is left behind. This means that milk powder is more potent, powerful, and effective than milk that contains water in it. Milk powder has a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals than liquid milk. It is one of the most effective home remedies for boosting skin health.
