Does Goat's Milk Really Help Get Rid of Blackheads?

Blackheads are made when oil forms and hardens in your skin. It can be an annoying and painful condition. Goat's milk is a home remedy that is supposed to help remove the blackheads from your skin. It can be purchased from a health food store and shouldn't be that hard to find.

Milk and Alternatives

Applying goat's milk straight to the skin is supposed to work, but there are other methods. There are special soaps that have goat's milk put right into them. This can help twice as much because soap is a cleansing product that will loosen the blackheads, as the goat's milk simultaneously works as well.

People say...

Although there are plenty of people that have cited this cure on blogs and message boards, but there is no scientific evidence to back it up. There really isn't any harm in trying this, as goat's milk can in no way harm your skin. But again, it may not work. Parenting expert, Dr. William Sears warns that the only danger in using goat's milk concerns allergic reactions. If you are allergic, then it should be common sense not to use it, but the only other warning he gives is for ingesting. He suggest that goat's milk provides some extra health benefits over cow's milk, yet lacks in other essential nutrients.

The cost

While there is no harm in this physically, you might want to weigh the price tags. If it turns out the goat's milk doesn't work, you are only out a few dollars. There are plenty of other medical face washes and products made to remove blackheads that also don't have a 100 percent guarantee of working. Some face washes and medications can cost more than 10 dollars a piece at places like Walmart, so goat's milk is not a bad option to try. If it doesn't work, you didn't waste too much money, and if it does work, you can get it pretty cheap.
