milk baths
Cleopatra's skincare secret
A milk bath is a bath in which milk is added to the water, believed to soften and nourish the skin.
The practice dates to antiquity—Cleopatra famously bathed in donkey milk.
Modern versions use powdered milk or milk-based bath products: She treated herself to a milk bath after a long week.
In photography, milk baths create dreamy portrait effects with subjects partially submerged in milky water.
