Milk Bath Recipes

Milk Bath Recipes are wonderful mixtures of dry milk, soy milk, and honey, herbs, etc that when mixed and added to a warm running bath water, add the great moisturizing benefits that Cleopatra enjoyed years ago.

Cleopatra used Milk Bath Recipes to keep her skin youthful as well as maintain her beauty. I have used milk baths for the last few years and love them. My body feels smoother and more moist when I jump out of my tub!

They are also so easy to make since you are simply mixing and then storing the mixture until you use it. No stove to heat the mix is needed. Simply add ingredients as instructed, mix, and store until using!!!
