Brilio.net - Milk is one of the food products that is widely consumed daily because of its high nutritional content. However, like other food products, milk has an expiration date that is important to note. Consuming expired milk can be risky for health, causing digestive problems, and even food poisoning.
After the expiration date, milk begins to lose its freshness and becomes susceptible to the growth of harmful bacteria. One type of bacteria often found in expired milk is Escherichia coli or Salmonella, which can cause food poisoning if consumed.
Milk that has expired experiences changes in terms of taste, aroma and texture. One of the main signs that milk is no longer suitable for consumption is the appearance of a sharp sour smell. Apart from that, the texture will become thicker and lumpier, due to the natural fermentation process carried out by bacteria.
Most people, usually will just throw away expired milk. In fact, expired milk can be used for facial skin care .

Expired milk content to care for facial skin beauty.
Expired milk, although not safe to drink, still has benefits for facial beauty treatments. One reason is because of the lactic acid content in milk, which increases with the natural fermentation process after expiration.
Lactic acid is known as a gentle natural exfoliator, which can help remove dead skin cells, clean pores, and stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells. In addition, the vitamin and mineral content in milk, such as calcium and protein, can still be useful for moisturizing and nourishing the skin.
The benefits of rice for maintaining beautiful facial skin.
Rice contains vitamin E, amino acids, and antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radicals and prevent premature aging. Rice water, for example, contains inositol, which is known to promote cell growth and repair skin damage, leaving skin smoother and brighter.
Honey is effective in making the face moist and nourished.
Honey is effective in moisturizing and nourishing the face because of its humectant properties. Namely, its ability to attract and lock moisture into the skin. In addition, honey is rich in enzymes, antioxidants, and vitamins such as B and C which help repair and nourish the skin from within.
Honey's natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties also help soothe inflamed or irritated skin, while protecting against acne-causing bacteria.
