Cleopatra’s Glamorous Milk And Honey Bath

We’ve all heard of the beautiful Queen of Eygpt, Cleopatra.

Well, it was no secret that she had an ethereal complexion that we would all love to have. One of the beauty treatments that kept Cleopatra looking young and her skin delicate is the milk and honey bath.

Cleopatra’s Glamorous Milk And Honey Bath

As stated in the name, one of the most important ingredients is milk, containing lactic acid to help with the exfoliation of your skin. Skin exfoliation brings newer, healthier cells to the surface, leaving your skin pearly and fresh. The lactic acid also helps to cleanse the deepest layers of your skin.

Another main ingredient is honey.

Honey has plenty of components that bring out beneficial health properties, such as sugars, including glucose and fructose.

Honey also has a small amount of alpha hydroxy acid. This, in addition to the abundance of minerals and vitamins, leaves your skin nourished and healed.

Lastly, honey has a natural anti-inflammatory effect which heals wounds instantly, making it a good alternative to dress wounds.

Below are a few ways to compose Cleopatra’s beauty bath, using the two main ingredients of milk and honey:
