Milk and Honey Bath Soak

I know that I have posted this soak at some point. It's one

 of my favorites! Keeping up with self care moving 

from On Fire post.

Cleopatra used this soak frequently, so if it was good 

enough for her then we should definitely love it.

So milk contains lactic acid, which is an alpha-hydroxy acid. 

AHA's have been part of an ongoing craze of the skincare 

industry for several years. They are either sourced from 

natural ingredients such as milk or they are synthesised

 in a laboratory. AHA's penetrate the top layers of the 

skin to slough off dead skin cells.

Exfoliation stimulates the skin and healthy cells are 

regenerated. Using AHA's in your skincare allows, the skin 

to rejuvenate itself more quickly.

I love adding milk and honey to any type of skin care. 

I love this bath, I turn on some "quiet" music and soak for

 at least 20 minutes. This is a perfect soak on your 

"queen days" because you are still taking care of 

yourself during this soak.

You need 2T of honey and a half cup of milk. 

You want to take a small saucepan, warm the milk 

up on low and make sure you dissolve the honey 

(don't boil). It is recommended that you only do this 

soak no more than 2 times a week. You should also wash

 prior to this if you plan on actually showering, this is 

a soak to take care of your skin and to relax.

After you soak gently rub your skin with a damp 

washcloth to remove dead skin cells and rinse your body.
