Using camel milk in beauty treatments is thousands of years old. It can improve skin texture, clear up acne, and keep wrinkles at bay.

It’s also an incredible ingredient in shampoo, condition, and body moisturizer. Yet most people have never considered using camel milk in any way, especially not in skincare.

So here are just six beauty benefits awaiting you in camel milk:

Moisturizes All Skin Types
Cleopatra knew what she was onto with her milk bath ritual, which was camel milk as it turns out. Camel milk is rich in lanolin, a fatty acid that locks in moisture and soothes redness and irritation. It’s why you see lanolin in so many skin creams and lotions.

While camel milk is deeply hydrating, making it perfect for people with dry skin, it is also safe for acne-prone skin as natural lanolin won’t clog your pores and can help regulate oil production.

Don’t be fooled by irritating, synthetic lanolin which can clog pores, irritate the skin, and increase acne.

So we’ve got lanolin taking care of moisturizing while soothing your acne but camel milk is also rich in antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Specifically, it is loaded with lactic acid, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid but unlike those synthetic AHAs you see in all the new trendy skincare products, lactic acid gently removes dead skin cells and bacteria from the skin, reduces and soothes breakouts.

Lactic acid will also help balance your skin’s pH, an out-of-whack pH can cause inflammation and bacteria growth. Lactic acid may also help fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
Penetrates Deeply

One of the things that make camel milk so effective in skincare is the unique cell structure that allows it to penetrate beyond the top layer of the skin and reach the vascular dermis to promote cell rejuvenation.
