I know that milk is a natural cleanser and i was just wondering whether i can put milk in a container and just put it in a cool, darl place ion my bathroom to use as a cleanser, is there any harm ot doing this?

Also if i do this, will i have to clean the container everytime i put new milk in to avoid bacteria in the bottle?

Thank you

You can buy milk crystals from place like the body shop or lush or just used dry milk powder.

Can i use natural milk from kitchen and just put it in bottle and use it as cleanser?

You could but the smell and the mess is not something that justifies the end results, you will get the same results with dry milk powder, its concentrated but without the mess.

I would think regular milk from the kitchen would need to stay refrigerated or else it will spoil, wouldn't it?
