DIY Breast Milk Mask

Since I had just started working, and Jelly is still breastfeeding, I need to pump at work. But Jelly is used to drinking fresh (direct latch) so she often refuse to drink expressed breast milk (maybe after a while it will have a smell since it's pure with no additives, LOL), therefore I will have a lot of ebm (expressed breast milk) left in the fridge. What to do with it? Since it's free, why not use it to wash face and apply as mask!

 *Note: Chilled breast milk can only store in fridge for 3 days max, and frozen breast milk can store in the freezer for up to 3 months. More info on breast milk please visit breastfeeding sites like WABA, TBAN, Angugu, MMPS, Susuibu.com .

Sure you would ask me, "Why Breastmilk?"

My main answer to this questions because I have extras of it and it is free? LOL! But this is only my point of answer. 

Answer from expert (Wikepedia) is that Human's breast milk is proven to contains strong antibodies and antitoxins, which is good to fight acne. Breast milk has been used as a home remedy for minor ailments, such as conjunctivitis, insect bites and stings, contact dermatitis, and infected wounds, burns, and abrasions. Breast milk has also been used alternatively to boost the immune system of ill persons having viral gastroenteritis, influenza, the common cold, pneumonia, etc., because of its immunologic properties.

DIY Breast Milk Soap

Ingredients:

• 2-3 tablespoon of breast milk (thawed/chilled)

So easy right? Now the steps are even easier!

Step 1: Open the package and take out a tablet of compressed mask

Step 2: Drop the compressed mask into a bowl/saucer with breast milk

The compressed mask absorbed the breast milk very fast! Rotate it so it soaked up evenly

Open the mask once expended

Step 3: The mask fully absorbed all the breast milk! Open the mask and apply!

Apply mask and wait for 10-15 minutes but don't wait until mask is dry.

Review on the Breast Milk Mask: 

Experience: Plus point about using breast milk mask is that it doesn't feel sticky after use. After using, massage the balance liquid on to the face and it is easily dries off. It will also tighten your skin so i guess it works as anti aging. It also has strong antibodies and antitoxins, which is good to fight acne. The bad side is that it has a smell, since I didn't add any preservatives/perfume or chemical into it. The smell is still bearable. I am not sure about whitening as it will only proven if wears often it in a long period of time.
