MILK BATHS

Everyone knows that milk baths are a mainstay in beauty folklore, with famous beauties through the ages testifying to their youth -enhancing, revitalizing properties.
The reasons for milk's great popularity lie in its excellent nutritive value in skincare. Milk is pack with protein, beneficial fats, vitamins, amino acids and calcium and is readily absorbed by the skin, resulting in a smooth, hydrated appearance.

A simple way of experiencing milk's benefits is to pour a pint of regular milk into your bath, stir and soak for 10-15 minutes. Your skin will be noticeably softer and smoother, with a dewy sheen. Milk is also an excellent carrier for essential oil (or oil blend) of your choice in 8 ounces of milk. For dryer skin types, use milk with a high butterfat content, including whole milk, half-and-half, and cream. For oilier skin types, use skim milk, low-fat milk, or powdered milk.
