Will applying milk on the face make it whiter?
In general, applying milk to the face does not whiten the skin, but it may help improve dull and yellowish complexion to some extent. For actual skin whitening, medical aesthetic treatments are usually recommended, such as chemical peels, hyaluronic acid injections (skin boosters), microneedling, photorejuvenation (IPL), and fractional laser therapy.
