Pure-n-Simple Soap

Of the many wonderful benefits goat milk has to offer for healthier, younger looking skin, exfoliation is one of them.  Goat milk contains lactic acid which contributes to skin exfoliation, and is a natural source of alpha-hydroxy acids, which exfoliates the skin by breaking down the glue holding dead skin cells together.  Alpha-hydroxy acids are also often used as a base in many lotions, because it has moisturizing properties as well.   It is important especially as we become older and our bodies begin to slow down the process of naturally shedding dead skin cells, to exfoliate our skin.  Though a goat’s milk soap alone contributes to exfoliating dead skin cells, you can also find goat milk soap bars molded in natural sea sponges, for a gentle exfoliation or in a loofah sponge for more aggressive exfoliation.
