MILK RECIPES FOR YOUR BODY
• Moisturising milk cream lotion: Milk cream has
all the goodness of selenium and potassium
that is in milk but in a concentrated form!
Both these minerals are helpful in keeping
the skin firm and elastic. A cup of thick cream
with two tablespoons of honey makes a
hydrating body lotion. Apply evenly all over
and leave for at least 20 minutes. Begin your
shower with rubbing in the applied cream, so
you get the most out of it!
• Elbow and knee scrub: Don’t we all hate
those dry, pigmented patches of hard skin on
our elbows and knees? Mix two tablespoons
of heavy cream with two tablespoons of
lemon juice and a teaspoon of chickpea flour.
This makes a great scrub for that flaky skin
and leaves it supple and soft.
• Revitalising milk bath: Feel luxurious and
rested, as you deserve, by soaking yourself
in a milk bath. To a warm bath, add two cups
of full cream milk, one cup honey, the juice
from one lemon and some drops of lavender
oil. Stir it in and relax for a full 40 minutes.
The collagen from the milk is extracted by
the acids from the lemon juice, and the warm
water opens your skin pores which improve
nutrient absorption. Step into a quick shower
once you are done.
• Milk and Epsom salt foot soak: Being on our
feet all day and wearing those high heels
can really tire out our feet. Give your feet a
pamper by soaking them in a foot bath of
four cups of warm water and milk, a teaspoon
of lemon juice and four tablespoons of
Epsom salt. Soak for 15 minutes and scrub
on a pumice stone. Rinse off and experience
destressed and relaxed feet.
Remember that any beauty regimen needs to
be practised religiously for at least six weeks to
experience the best results!
