Milk Bath Recipes

Milk has been used in baths for centuries, most famously known from Cleopatra's daily milk baths.

Milk is especially softening to the skin, so it is good for dry, overworked, tired skin.

Basic Recipe

Add two cups of powdered milk,(while the tub is filling) or

6 cups of fresh milk of your choice.

For extra decadence, add a small splash of Heavy Cream (yes, the kind used to make whipping cream and delicious coffee drinks!) This will add extra creaminess to the water and boost the skin softening benefits.

Soak for 20 minutes or more for best results.

Milk and Aromatherapy Bath

The same recipe as above, but this time add your favorite essential oil(s).

You will need a small glass container for mixing the oils.

One Tablespoon Almond Oil or Coconut Oil

5 to 10 drops of essential oil of your choice.

(lavender, rose, cinnamon, vanilla, or ylang-ylang are good essential oils to use with a milk bath. Avoid acidic citrus oils, as they are likely to curdle the milk and create unpleasant aromas!)

Mix the essential oils with the carrier oil (almond oil) and add to the water.
