As beautiful as Cleopatra

Naturally, this doesn`t mean that Body care should suffer. Even the ancient Egyptians delighted in natural Beauty Treatments. Just one more reason to try out various masks and recipes today. If you want to get your home spa day started with a bath you could, for example, try pouring 500 grams of sea salt into the bathwater. You`ll be doing your Skin a favour, thanks to the salt`s anti-inflammatory properties. But remember, you shouldn`t stay in the salt water for longer than 15 minutes. Another miracle worker is a Cleopatra-style milk bath: mix one litre of full cream milk with four dessertspoons of honey, and three dessertspoons of almond, jojoba or sunflower oil. Irritated Skin will be soothed by the honey, while the milk fat will make your Skin beautifully smooth. If you haven`t got a bathtub, you can also relax superbly in the shower. In this case, you should ideally use essential oils because they also develop their effects via our noses: simply mix five Drops of peppermint oil, three Drops of myrtle and five Drops of Lemon with a neutral shower gel - and enjoy!
