Milk and Daisies 2

🌼 Milk and Daisies 🌼

In the Ancient world, Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt was regarded as a great beauty. To preserve the vitality and beauty of her skin, it is said that Cleopatra regularly took baths in donkey milk.

Historic records show that donkey milk was often used as a treatment to revitalize the skin.

Often other scents such as honey, rose, daisies and essential oils are added. Milk baths use lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, to dissolve the proteins which hold together dead skin cells.
