I’m sure we all know that Cleopa­tra was renowned for being a beau­ti­ful woman with a beau­ti­ful com­plex­ion. Even if it’s just leg­end, her name still resem­bles what we all love to have — nat­ural, flaw­less beauty.

I’ve put together two fan­tas­tic DIY skin care recipes using milk, honey, and aloe vera — three ingre­di­ents that were widely avail­able in Egypt and used fre­quently by Cleopa­tra. For best results, make sure all the ingre­di­ents are organic and as fresh as you can get!

Cleopatra Milk & Honey DIY Skin Care Treatment

{MILK & HONEY MASK}

{BENEFITS}
Mois­tur­iz­ing, anti-aging, evens out skin tone and tex­ture, heals dam­age, soothes inflammation.

{INGREDIENTS}
1 Tbsp. organic milk ~ see if you can get local, raw goat’s milk or cow’s milk; you can also use plain, organic yogurt
1 Tbsp. organic, raw, unfil­tered honey
(Optional) 1 tsp. aloe vera gel ~ see if you can get an aloe plant, then you just break off a “leaf” and squeeze the fresh gel out!

{DIRECTIONS}
Mix ingre­di­ents together in a small bowl. After cleans­ing, apply the mask to your face, neck, chest, and any­where else your skin needs extra TLC. Leave on for 10 min­utes. Wash off with luke­warm water, and a splash of cool water.

Cleopatra Milk & Honey Bath DIY Treatment

{MILK & HONEY BATH}


{BENEFITS}
Mois­tur­iz­ing, anti-aging, evens out skin tone and tex­ture, helps pre­vent break­outs, soothes.

{INGREDIENTS}
3–4 cups organic milk — see if you can get local, raw goat’s milk or cow’s milk, you can also use pow­dered mlk
1/2 – 1 cup organic, raw, unfil­tered honey

{DIRECTIONS}
After tak­ing a shower or bath (you def­i­nitely want to wash first and get in new bath­wa­ter for this soak), fill your tub with warm water. Mix ingre­di­ents together in a small bowl, then add to the bath water while the water is fill­ing the tub. Soak in the tub for 20 min­utes. There’s no need to wash off, though you can give your­self a quick rinse (water only!) if you’d like.

Enjoy! I love the milk bath most of all…let me know how you like these treatments!
