Human breast milk facial is the latest beauty trend in the US and could be coming to the UK anytime soon.
According to the owner of Mud Facial Bar in Chicago, the milk can help to soothe conditions such as eczema because of the anti-bacterial properties of lauric acid, found in breast milk, which are reported to fight bacterial infection that causes acne.
'Human breast milk has a lot of antibodies in it that helps fight infection, and since acne is an infection of the skin, that is one that it helps fight,' Spa owner, Patel told Daily Mail Australia.
'Additionally, it helps with sun burn, eczema, wrinkles and making the skin's overall appearance smoother.'
The spa purchases the milk from a local certified milk bank, where the donors are screened, though asked if mothers could use their own breast milk for their facial, Patel said that 'if mothers want to use their own milk, I don't see why we can't meet that request.'
