Milk Bath Soaks

Remember Cleopatra's famous milk baths? The milk baths of Cleopatra are well known because they were part of her regular skin and beauty treatments. Milk is a luxuriant skin treatment when it is added to bath water. Milk exfoliates, softens and nourishes the skin and makes skin feel softer and more resilient. Milk contains lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxyl acid that takes apart dead skin cells from the epidermis, leaving a new, fresh, soft layer on the outside. Lactic acid is also reported to make skin thicker, more elastic and younger-looking. And it acts as a gentle cleanser for skin. Honey softens, provides nutrition and acts to protect the skin. Oatmeal will soothe dry, itchy skin and protect skin. Sea salts detoxify and soften skin. So go ahead and give your skin a drink of goat’s milk and say ahhhhh!
