Can Milk Baths Be Used To Treat Psoriasis? – The List

Ok, making a milk bath sounds pretty simple, right? And, it is, except the primary key is knowing which milk to bathe in. If you are lactose intolerant, it's best not to sit in cow milk, as the last thing you want to do is cause an allergy flare up when you're currently suffering from dry skin. That said, Good Housekeeping confirms you can usemilk alternatives such as oat milk or goat milk in your bath. Verywell Health added that goat milk is a better alternative to the cow milk typically used in milk baths, as it provides a creamier feel on your skin due to the milk's high fat.

Now that you know which milk you're going to use, it's bathing time. The first step is to add 2 cups of milk, 1/4 cup of honey, and a few drops of oils to your warm water. Then it's soaking time. Dr. Henry warned that you should only soak for up to 30 minutes andtake milk baths a maximum of once a week. Yes, we know it may be tempting to bathe in milk to get rid of that dry skin feeling, but you don't want to overdo it.
