Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Cleopatra's Milk Bath Formula by Annie Berthold-Bond Cleopatra was famous for her beautiful skin. Her secret was that she soaked in baths of fresh milk. Modern laboratories now know why milk worked such wonders for her skin: the lactic acid in milk is an alpha hydroxy acid, a natural material that dissolves the glue that holds dead skin cells together. Milk can cleanse the skin down to its deepest layers. This secret beauty formula couldn't be simpler. Add 2 to 4 cups of fresh milk or buttermilk to the bathwater as the tub is filling. Soak for a good 20 minutes. Gently rub your skin with a washcloth or loofa to slough off the dead skin. Rinse your body thoroughly after soaking. Caution: Very hot baths are not good for those with high blood pressure, and they can be draining for anyone. Skip this bath if you are allergic to milk or are lactose intolerant. www.care2.com "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." Franklin D.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Thank you! I want to try this. But I love drinking milk so much that it will be a challenge. Do you know if it is only whole milk? On 11/17/06, Jose and Diana Gonzalez <joseanddiana wrote: Cleopatra's Milk Bath Formula by Annie Berthold-Bond Cleopatra was famous for her beautiful skin.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 A friend of mine told me to not only put milk in the bath for Cleopatra's bath. But inside a coffee filter, add cinnamon, honey and rose petals, then tie it and it makes it like a tea bag for your warm bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
