Egyptian Milk Bath

by Shelly

bath1.jpgMakes 32 ounces (enough for one bath)

Cleopatra was renowned ancient beauty known for her use of herbal and cosmetic treatments. One of her favorite practices was bathing in milk and herbs to keep her complextion clear and her emotions calm. This practice still stands true for complextions and herbs even help nowadays with emotions and stress as well.

5 drops wintergreen essential oil
5 drops rosemary essential oil
5 drops peppermint essential oil
Zest of 1 orange
Zest of 1 grapefruit
Zest of one lemon
1 quart of fresh milk (or equivalent amount of dried nonfat milk powder)

Combine ingredients in a large glass bowl or pitcher. Stir well to mix, then allow the mixture to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. To use, draw a warm bath and pour the entire mixture into the bath water. Soak in the tub for at least 20 minutes. Rinse off the milk using clear, warm water. (You do not want it to sour on your skin!) Pat your skin drya then moisturize well. (Source: Skin 2007)
