Cleopatra bath - a divine procedure in your home

Milk bath is a useful and very simple procedure, which is associated with the beauty Cleopatra. And although there is no absolute certainty that the real recipe of the ancient queen's bath of youth has come down to us, it is worth trying the action of Cleopatra's bath with the addition of milk.

A bath with milk affects various body systems, but its greatest effect is on the circulatory system and the skin:

• In a milk bath, blood circulation is stimulated,
• The skin cells are enriched with minerals and nutrients.
• all this leads to the stimulation of metabolic processes, including fat metabolism (for this reason the milk bath is often used for weight loss).
• vitamins and other beneficial substances from milk during the water procedure get into the skin, refreshing and tightening it. The result will also smooth fine lines, increase elasticity and moisturize the skin.

When honey is added to the water, its proteins and fats also moisturize the skin, preserving the effect of the procedure for a long time.

Milk has a healing effect on the hair, especially weakened by vitamin deficiency, seasonal changes and negative natural factors.

Negative effects of such a bath threaten people with allergies to its components, as well as with damage to the skin.

Although the procedure, at first glance, is very easy, but for its implementation there are nuances and precautions.

If your skin is damaged or irritated, the milk bath sessions should be postponed, or honey should not be added to the water so as not to exacerbate the negative manifestations. Such water procedures are also not recommended for inflammation of the kidneys and genitals. You should not experiment with the milk and honey bath and pregnant women.

Cleopatra for her milk baths, it is said, used donkey milk (according to another version - the milk of a camel).

Today's beauties find it difficult to get, but that's okay. Any other milk will do for the healing procedure. More often cows milk is used for this bath due to its high availability. The milk should be chosen quite fatty. It is also good if you use a non-pasteurized drink, because in this case the effect of the bath will be more intense.

Oat milk perfectly soothes and moisturizes the skin due to the presence of oat particles in it. Baths with oat milk are especially useful for those with problematic or sensitive skin. Soy milk and rice milk are also noted to have beneficial effects on the skin. Not a bad reputation and proved itself and the bath, which is added not milk, and whey milk.

Prepare a milk bath at home is very easy, because the ingredients are available. For one bath, a liter of milk is enough, and to be more effective, two or three spoons of honey are added to it. First, water is poured into a container, and then slightly heated milk and honey are poured into it.

Take treatments 1-2 days apart or at least twice a week. The optimal temperature for this procedure is 36-38 degrees Celsius. Do not exceed the temperature of +38 degrees, so that the useful substances in the milk and honey are not destroyed.

If there is no discomfort, it is better not to wash off the honey-milk film from the skin.
