We should just give a round of applause to the Egyptians and specifically Cleopatra for the most amazing type of skin treatment, that can be achieved at home. The milk bath.
Back in the BC's the elite would bathe in milk and as odd as it sounds it was probably one of the smartest things to do. Milk contain lactic acid which acts as an exfoliator for the skin. This is what allows for the skin to become soft and smooth.
In addition with a loofah one can remove a lot of dead skin, leaving the beautiful skin underneath. Plus it wasn't normally just milk that these women bathed in. Adding honey, oats, lavender and essential oils were also apart of this spa like bath! Each ingredient would just increase the benefits for the skin.
Today we can still have milk baths, powdered milk is very popularly used plus there are now products out there that give you the milk bath you are looking for.
It doesn't seem right to rate this method of bathing so I'm not going to but I do suggest that everyone does give it a go male or female at least once in their lives. And I'm sure you'll want to do it again.
Beauty truly does start from the inside out!
