Milk Bath

Taking a milk bath may help exfoliate the body's dead skin and apparently people have been taking milk baths for quite some time now, so we're assuming its good for you?

Some people love taking milk baths, I think its a great idea even though I've never tried it before.

My recommendations for taking a milk bath would be to use powdered milk, lavendar and rose buds. Another type of milk bath which may have you leaving smelling like sweet roses would be to add rose or orange-blossom water to your milk baths.

Here is my recipe:

  • 1 cup or less orange-blossom or rose water

  • 3 cups or more powdered milk


It's a good idea to use a nice soft loofa and some olive-oil based soap with a neutral smell to wash with firstly. After rinsing off, fill the bathtub with hot water and add the ingredients. If you don't wish to add the rose/orange-blossom water you can always add some dry botanicals like lavendar buds.

Mix the water and powdered milk thoroughly, rest in the tub and enjoy!

Make sure you rinse your body off properly once done with your milk bath!
