I think a daily bath in the asses milk would do wonders for the skin and if its good enough for the rats to drink it must be OK
Pity its not easily available at least over here. I guess the only way to get some is to keep a few Donkeys in the Yard But they may be a bit noisy for the neighbours.

Good for you? A study found volunteers drinking cows' milk put on more weight than those on donkey milk
Fed up with skimmed milk and can’t stomach soya? Give donkeys’ milk a try.
Said to be the secret of Cleopatra’s flawless complexion, donkeys’ or asses’ milk also works wonders on waistlines, according to research.
And with high quantities of omega-3 oils and calcium, it may be better for the heart and help keep energy levels up throughout the day.
Previous research has also suggested the protein-rich drink might be a good alternative to cows’ milk for those with allergies, so donkeys’ milk could soon become the next big thing among the health-conscious who can’t bear to give up dairy.
In the latest study, Italian scientists gave rats either cows’ milk or asses’ milk to drink on top of their usual food.
While those given cows’ milk became heavier than normal rats, those drinking asses’ milk put on less weight.
They also had lower levels of blood fats and other fats that can damage the arteries and the heart.
And their mitochondria – the tiny batteries that power cells – were super-charged, turning food into energy at a fast pace.
Taken together, this suggests that the consumption of asses’ milk should be encouraged, the researchers told the International Congress on Obesity in Istanbul.

Previous Italian research has suggested that asses’ milk is a good alternative to cows’ milk for children with allergies.
Healthy: Donkey milk is also high in omega three oils and calcium and is said to be better for the heart
However, those who are keen to give asses’ milk a try may have to be patient.
Although popular in Victorian times, it fell out of fashion and is not believed to currently be on sale anywhere in Britain, according to the Donkey Breed Society.
PASS NOTES
As long ago as 460 BC, Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recommended asses’ milk for everything from snake bites to nosebleeds.
Poppaea Sabina, second wife of Emperor Nero, is said to have washed her face in asses’ milk seven times a day – and demanded that herds of donkeys accompanied her on journeys.
A donkey produces less than two pints of milk a day. A cow can produce more than ten times as much.
Perhaps that’s why, according to legend, at least 700 donkeys were needed to produce the milk for Cleopatra's bath

I was not aware you had a chapter of the Donkey Breed Association in the UK
A fine organization,I am quite familiar with there work:-]
I would love to join up and be paid a fortune & all the extra's to say Naaaaaaaaaaay
or YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEa
But its seems to be full up and when the Donkey elections come;s around I don't know who to vote for
I can't tell one ass from the other
that B/S seems to penetrate everywhere.
It is piling up over here, and nobody know what to do with it all, I guess the USA has enough to be going on with.
Maybe we could put it all on a slow boat to China
