Milk Baths are just like regular baths, only with an addition of milk and often other scents such as lavender, honey, and essential oils. Cleopatra, Elizabeth I of England, Elisabeth of Bavaria, and others have historically acclaimed the beautifying benefits of these baths.
Milk baths are said to utilise lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, to dissolve the proteins which hold together dead skin cells.
Proponents say that the natural properties of milk help to:
- Soften/Smooth
- Exfoliate
- Make visible new, fresh cells
- Accelerate skin cell renewal
- Moisturize
- Relieve stress
