Milk and Honey Does the Body Good~

Cleopatra did not have all the products available to us today, to keep her skin soft, moisturized and glowing, instead she turned to nature. Perhaps we should take a page from history to help sooth and smooth our skin.

I recently came across some bath rituals that I friend had shared with me a few years ago and I have to say I recall trying it for a few weeks and did notice my skin was softer and dewy. I think I will start adding these a couple times a week to my daily bathing.


Honey & Milk Bath

1/2 cup powdered milk (or goat's milk)
1/2 cup raw honey

Mix ingredients in a large bowl and pour your warm bath. Soak for up to 20 minutes to infuse these beneficial ingredients in your skin. This recipe makes enough for one bath. (I added a couple drops of rose water).

Milk & Honey Facial Rinse

1 oz raw honey
1 cup skim milk (or goat's milk, or donkey milk)
2 teaspoons aloe vera gel

Combine ingredients in a glass jar (a new mason jar works great) and shake well. Apply to your face morning and evening with a cotton ball. Mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
