DIY Milk Bath // Gifts In A Jars

The Winter Months are here and if you are like me your skin in getting a tad dry.  I also bet that you might be a bit tired and a touch stressed with all the Holiday festivities!  So I thought it was about time you took a little bit of time for yourself and slip away for a nice warm… soothing & relaxing Milk Bath!  Sound good?  Well it could not be easier to make.  In absolutely no time you will be experiencing the luxurious world of Cleopatra who popularized the Milk Bath thousands of years ago.  Ok… Cleo didn’t have to dry herself off and make lunches for the next day… but a half an hour of pampering would still be nice! 

.

Milk is filled with tons of Vitamins and Nutrients so of course you can see why it is so wonderful for your skin.

Corn Starch is very soothing and also relieves dry and itch skin!  Baking Soda also adds a touch of skin softener and Oatmeal adds a creaminess your skin will find absolutely dreamy.

I personally don’t favor strong scents so to add a hint of aroma I added Apricot Ginger Tea which not only smells good but adds a bit more of a relaxing element to the bath.  You can use the tea of your choice like Peppermint, Spearmint, Chamomile, Jasmine, Peach and the list goes on.
