Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, was irresistibly beautiful and charming.It is said that she especially likes taking donkey milk baths, which can make her skin delicate, soft and smooth.Actress Yasmea Filari followed her lead by taking a milk bath at least once a week.

Why are milk baths so effective?This is because after adding milk, the bath water will become very soft. In addition to moisturizing, milk can also play a firming and astringent effect.If you find that your eyes or body are swollen when you wake up, taking a milk bath can reduce the swelling; soaking milk before going to bed can also relax your body and mind and promote sleep.

However, the water temperature of the milk bath should be between 40°C and 60°C. If the water is too cold, the pores will not be easy to open; if the water is too hot, the nutrients in the milk will be destroyed.Mix the milk well at a suitable temperature, soak it for about 20 minutes and rinse it off. If the time is too long, the bacteria in the milk water will cause damage to the skin.

If you think milk is too wasteful to take a bath, you might as well let your facial skin fully absorb the boiling milk vapor while boiling the milk.The nutrient-rich milk is heated and evaporated, which will promote blood circulation on the face and speed up metabolism. If you persist for a period of time, you will feel rosy, smooth, white and tender on the face.
