Historically Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, and Elisabeth of Bavaria to name a few have attributed their beautiful skin to milk baths. That's right milk really does a body good!!! The lactic acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid in milk is said to dissolve the proteins which hold dead skin together bringing forth softer, radiant looking skin. The alpha hydroxy acids are also helpful to exfoliate the skin as well. You will leave the tub with smooth baby soft skin literally.
You can use various milks for different benefits to your skin.
Ingredients:
2-3 cups of milk (whole, skim, 2%, or powdered milk)
rose petals (optional just make the bath look pretty)
you can add a few drops of oil if desired (not too much you don't want to slip) - olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil to name a few
Add the ingredients to your bath water and lay back and relax. After soaking for about 10-15 minutes start scrubbing your skin with a loofah or sponge to gently exfoliate. When done pat your skin dry and apply moisturizer.
