Milk bath

If you can gain nutrients and other health benefits from drinking milk, it might make sense to think bathing in it should do you just as much good. A possible advantage to milk baths is that they may help
to moisturize your skin. The fats and proteins found in milk -- particularly whole milk -- may help to hydrate skin and retain moisture after you step out. Just be sure to rinse off in clean water after your soak so that you're left with a soft, milky glow instead of a sticky milk residue. Some health experts suggest milk baths may be used to help improve symptoms of some skin problems, slow the process of aging and retain skin’s natural elasticity. Because of the moisturizing fats in milk, it may help to calm redness from a sunburn or to reduce some of the dryness and itching caused by skin conditions such as xerosis or eczema. 

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN MILK BATH

Recipe

1. 2 cups whole powdered milk.
2. 1/2 cup baking soda (skin softener)
3. Essential oil of your choice

Directions

Combine the powdered milk and baking soda in a large glass container. Put the lid on and shake the jar until the powders are completely mixed.

Remove the cap and add the essential oil. Re-cap the jar and shake to combine.

Let sit for 24 hours before using, to let the ingredients and the essential oil completely combine. Store in a cool, dark place.

To use, pour 1 to 2 cups of your milk bath under hot running water.  Lie back and relax!
