How to pamper yourself?
Just imagine.
It’s evening, you’ve had a very busy and difficult day, you come home tired…
Outside it’s slushy, rainy, freezing or windy – in short, the kind of weather that makes you want to get home as soon as possible and curl up under a blanket with a cup of aromatic tea…
And at home, there are still a lot of chores and tasks that need to be done: dinner, preparing for tomorrow, putting the kids to bed (that’s a whole process!)), finishing work, and… In short, at home there is a never-ending series of small but obligatory moments when you HAVE to do something…
It’s in these moments, when you seem to have no strength left, that you should stop for a moment (and you remember how to slow down to regain a taste for life, right?) and give yourself a little time!
Yes, even if you have no time at all!

You will become a beautiful and smiling woman again, who can spin on one leg and do everything in an instant!))
Cleopatra’s Bath
This ritual is simply royal! It will make you feel like a queen! It’s no wonder the majestic Cleopatra loved it so much))
We all know this, right? That the beautiful Cleopatra always took her magical bath – made of donkey milk, by the way. They say that every day about 700 donkeys gave their milk exclusively for this bath. Even when the last queen of Egypt was away on state business in distant lands, her entourage always included a couple of donkeys.
She also added (or rather, had her maids add, to be precise) fresh aromatic rose petals – to get an unimaginable scent.
Cleopatra truly loved intense scents. She loved them so much that (as the legend goes) Mark Antony knew of Cleopatra’s approaching boat long before the boat itself could be seen.)
But don’t be afraid – we won’t be using such exotic ingredients)). We’ll make do with equivalents that everyone of us has in the kitchen)).
But the recipe will be a bit lower. For now, why we modern women should definitely take advantage of this ancient remedy (more than once). And it seems to me that recipes tested by time are much more effective than newfangled means, which is why I gave up commercial cosmetics.
Why Cleopatra’s Bath is soooo good
I think Cleopatra loved this bath not only for the amazing feeling of relaxation I wrote about above, but for another reason.
The Egyptian queen always pampered herself with this bath to stay young and beautiful. Yes, this is her secret to youth!
Simply put, milk contains special acids that gently exfoliate the skin and help it renew faster. On average, skin cells age and die in 2-4 weeks, and if they are not removed, they slow the growth of new young cells. And lactic acid dissolves the “glue” that holds dead cells in place, helping our skin get rid of them (of course, no one has ever stopped using a scrub or a loofah).
Milk also acts as a natural moisturizer, leaving skin soft, shiny and silky.
Honey, also included in this amazing bath, has an antibacterial action that helps get rid of skin damage or irritation. It also contains a large number of antioxidants that help our skin recover faster and protect it from all those toxins we don’t even suspect.
In general, honey is a unique remedy not only for our health, but also for our beauty – no wonder that all the participants of my programs are delighted with the honey face washes)) And by the way, Cleopatra often applied it to her face))
In short, this bath not only moisturizes and cleanses the skin, but also has a rejuvenating effect on our cells. And it is also very relaxing!
Cleopatra’s Bath Recipe
What you need:
- 1 cup honey
- 2 cups milk (can be coconut or regular)
- 1⁄2 cup sea salt (or pink Himalayan)
- 3 tablespoons baking soda
- 8 drops lavender essential oil (optional – but it really helps to relax)))
How to make it:
- Slightly warm the milk and mix it with the honey. This will allow the honey to dissolve well. However, if the milk is made too hot (over 40 degrees), the beneficial properties of the honey will be lost.
- Mix the salt and baking soda together and add the lavender oil.
- When you fill the bath with warm water, add the salt and baking soda so that they dissolve well.
- Just before taking the bath, add the honey and milk mixture.
- Immerse yourself in the water and relax for 15 minutes.
