Cleopatra knew a thing or two about body exfoliation.The bathing in milk is not a tale from the long ago past but an actual present day beauty tip that really works.
The skin needs to be exfoliated regularly in order to allow moisturisers better & deeper absorption into the skins layers.Most people associate exfoliating with the use of a scub, but a less abrasive,totally relaxing,& in- between-scrub(or body brushing),way to gently remove dead skin cells & soften skin is to run a warm (not too hot)bath,pour full cream milk into it (a half litre is good & inexpensive compared to store bought exfoliating/body products,but use at least 2-3cups full.).
I also pop a few drops of essential oils in as well & lie back with a good book,some chocolate,wine.....
Needless to say this ,this is 'self help' at its best-it is soo relaxing,calms frayed nerves,stress & anxiety& gives busy,stressed out souls time out to recharge the batteries,all the while working wonders on your skin.
Remember to moisturise with something thick & luxurious while skin is still warm after the bath -body butters are excellent -natio & body shop do great ones.
