here’s nothing better than winding down with a hot bath after a long day. Milk baths, which have been used for centuries, are the perfect way to relax after a hard day’s work. Although it may sound strange, milk baths have a plethora of benefits. Milk not only hydrates skin to make it feel soft and smooth, but the lactic acid in the milk acts as an exfoliatant for dry winter skin. Those aren’t the only benefits: a DIY milk bath is much less expensive than bath bombs or salts. MATERIALS NEEDED:
Milk bottles 1 1/2 cups of powdered milk 1/2 cup of baking soda 1/2 cup of cornstarch 1/2 cup of epsom salts 10-20 drops of essential oil (optional) STEPS: STEP 1: In
a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. STEP 2: Add
10-20 drops of essential oil to the dry mixture, if desired. STEP 3:
Pour the mixture into the milk bottle, using a funnel if necessary. STEP 4: When
drawing a bath, pour about 1/2 cup of the mixture into the warm water. OUTHREADMAG.COM | 67
