Cleopatra's milk and honey bath

Cleopatra is one of the most magnetic and seductive women of human history who knew how to care about her face and body beauty. Women are excited about Cleopatra's beauty for many centuries because she succeeded in winning the hearts of the most unapproachable and formidable men of that time.

There are many discussions about Cleopatra's beauty nowadays. We don't know for sure whether she was a real beauty in our opinion or not. But the ancient sources prove beauty of her skin and fresh complexion. At that time it was an urgent problem in Egypt where the baking sun and sand had a negative effect on skin. And you've got to hand it to Cleopatra, she left good recipes for us.
There are three Cleopatra's beauty secrets came to our days ' milk bath, beauty face masks and special fragrances.

Cleopatra's Milk and Honey Bath
Actually, the main beauty recipe of Cleopatra is her famous milk bath. To prepare a bath you should dissolve a small cup of honey in 1 litre of hot but not boiled milk and pour the mix into a bath. A bath temperature should be the same as body temperature that is 36-37 degrees. Take a bath for 10-15 minutes. Present followers of Cleopatra's beauty suggest substituting fresh milk for dried milk. I also tried to do it and got skin so soft!

You'll need:
- ½ cup of dried milk;
- ½ cup of liquid honey;
- 1 teaspoon of jojoba oil.

Mix the ingredients and add to a bath. Take a bath for 20 minutes. It's enough for all components to have a beneficial effect on skin.

But that's not the half of it. Speaking of Cleopatra's beauty it should be noticed that an effect of Cleopatra's bath was heightened by a scrub. Her servants mixed 300 gr. crumbled sea salt with a half a cup of rich cream and rubbed it into the queen's body. It's better to apply the scrub before bathing because it cleans your skin and opens pores for milk and honey.

Here is one more recipe I found recently. Taking a milk and honey bath put there an old nylon stocking or cotton cloth with some handful of oatmeal inside. At the end of bathing, rub yourself with oatmeal, wait for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water. I think Cleopatra would like this beauty recipe as it clears and nourishes skin making it smooth and silky.

Anyway, we can always afford a milk bath for hands even if we cannot fill a whole bath with milk. 1 litre of milk or less and 1 teaspoon of honey are enough and your hands skin will be extremely beautiful!
