“It’s So Full of Antioxidants,” Halsey Revealed Using Her Own Breast Milk in Her Skincare Routine

Breast milk is not only an ideal source of nutrition for your baby, but it also contains vitamins, minerals, antibodies, and other nutrients that can be beneficial when used topically. Recently the singer, Halsey, also discovered these benefits of breast milk and now she doesn’t hesitate to apply it on her face.

After having a baby, Halsey became conscientious about her skin.

Halsey has shared an unexpected addition to her skincare routine: breast milk. In a recent interview, the 28-year-old singer, who welcomed her son Ender in July 2021 with partner Alev Aydin, discussed her skincare regimen and favorite makeup looks.

Halsey stated that becoming a parent has made her more conscious of what her skincare routine looks like, especially when her baby is in close contact. “I’ve always been really conscientious about what goes on my skin, but when your baby is kissing you or snuggled up against you, you become hyper-cognizant of what’s on your face.”

For the singer, breast milk is the best skincare ingredient ever.

Halsey also shared that she discovered the benefits of breast milk after welcoming the baby, saying, "I started breastfeeding, and I figured out that breast milk is the best skincare ingredient ever because it’s so full of antioxidants and good fats and stuff that speed up the healing process..

Halsey is not the only person among celebrities who actively uses breast milk, aside from during feeding. Earlier, actor Jodie Turner-Smith admitted that she prepares her own face cream by mixing a serum with aloe vera and breast milk. And with that, she says, her “skin has never looked better.”

Scientists say that you can try breast milk on your skin too.

It turns out that breast milk does indeed contain a variety of beneficial substances like antibodies, omega-3 fatty acids, and stem cells that can be utilized beyond its function as a food source. Applying breast milk topically in the form of lotions, facials, soaps, and more can provide nutritional benefits and support for the skin, as well as serve as a remedy for certain minor infections.

Studies suggest that breast milk can be used for safe and cost-effective non-nutritional purposes due to its natural antibacterial properties. It can effectively treat various skin problems like cuts and scrapes, but further evaluation is required.
