What is a milk bath good for?
A milk bath is exactly what the name implies — a bath with milk, and usually other natural ingredients. Adding milk to your bath water can help to hydrate and soothe your skin, improve inflammatory skin conditions and promote healthy aging.
Does milk bath actually work?
There is anecdotal evidence, though, suggesting that milk baths may have skincare benefits. Milk can make your skin feel softer and smoother because fats in the milk cling to the skin. You'll notice a silky, but not oily, feeling over your skin. Bathing in milk can also give light, gentle exfoliation.
Should I rinse after milk bath?
You should absolutely rinse after your milk bath. Leaving milky residue on your skin could lead to irritation and bad odors, so take a few minutes after you've finished soaking to rinse off with a hydrating shower gel or soap.
Though the exact origin of milk bath photography is unknown, legend has it that Cleopatra regularly bathed in milk to enhance her complexion.
