Treat Yourself To A Skin Nourishing Milk Bath

For centuries some women have known the beauty secrets of using milk in their skincare, and a milk bath in particular, will help to keep your skin naturally soft and supple.

Cleopatra is one of the earliest historically recorded women to indulge in milk bath treatments as part of her skincare routine. Although Cleopatra used camel's milk, she understood the therapeutic benefits a milk bath has on your skin.

Now, thousands of years later, milk is enjoying a natural skincare comeback, cropping up in everything from natural facial masks, lotions, and cleansers to milk bath treatments and even hair care.

Milk naturally contains Vitamins A and D, which helps to make your skin soft, yet strong. Milk also contains skincare's favorite natural beta hydroxy acids, which means if you have a milk bath your old dead skin cells will be naturally exfoliated away and your new skin cells will be soothed and comforted by the natural ingredients found in the milk.

A milk bath is extremely beneficial if you have dry skin because milk conditions your skin and leaves it soft and glowing, not dry and flaky.

Skincare manufacturers appreciate the rejuvenating qualities of milk, but have also discovered that its benefits go far beyond the realms of basic skincare. Milk also works for hair, too. Your hair follicles contain small scales that can cause it to look dull and lifeless if your hair is dry because these scales lift away from the hair shaft.

Properties found in milk flatten and seal up these scales, which makes the hair look shinier and healthier, in the same way as using milk on your skin will made it silkier and more radiant.

It’s not just cow’s milk that’s suitable for making a milk bath. Although Cleopatra used camel's milk and many people today do use cow's milk, there are other kinds of milk that are also just as effective for skincare.

Goat's milk has the same ph as human skin and is quite effective for attaining smoother skin. Oat milk contains oat grain, which is super for sensitive skin because it soothes as it moisturizes. Soy and rice milk are also terrific for hydrating the skin and promoting healthy new cells.

Regardless of which milk you choose for your milk bath, it’s certain to deliver a multitude of benefits to your skin.

You can make your own milk bath at home by adding a 2-3 cups of warm milk to your bath water, or in a pinch, you can substitute fresh milk with a couple of cups of instant powdered milk. You can also add a drop or two of almond oil to the bath because it smells delicious and will provide a bit of additional moisture.

Some people find that after taking a milk bath their skin is more oily, this is because the oils in milk are absorbed into your skin, so if you already have oily skin use skimmed milk instead because it contains less fat.
