4 Benefits of Sheep Milk for Skin

Sheep milk is superior to other types of milk, such as cow and goat milks, because it has more vitamins, minerals, protein, and butterfat, and is easier for humans to digest. You don’t see a whole lot of sheep milk for sale at markets in the United States in part because fresh sheep milk is only available seasonally. You may have already heard all about the nutritional benefits of consuming sheep milk. But, does sheep milk also provide benefits for your skin?

The answer… umm YES! The extra fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals in sheep milk all help to maintain and improve your skin (read, your kick a$$ mug is going to be sent into kick a$$ overdrive!). Whaaat?!

Milk has been used as a beauty aid for thousands of years, improving a variety of skin problems including redness, acne, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. Milk is a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliator, pore minimizer, and even awesome at soothing sunburn.
