Milk bath for dry skin

24.11.2009 1 minute read From Editorial team

In winter, many people are prone to dry and itchy skin. However, long full baths with perfumed bath additives make the skin even drier and more irritable. A completely chemical-free and skin-friendly option for a full bath is the Milk bath. Such a bath can be easily made yourself:

Instructions for a milk bath for delicate skin

What you’ll need:

1 l whole milk

Instructions:

Simply fill the bathtub with water as usual, but it is better not to use water that is too hot, as the water temperature is often underestimated, especially on cold days, and hot water additionally draws moisture from the skin. Now pour a liter of whole milk into the water. The milk in the water forms a protective film around the skin and provides it with an extra portion of moisture, which makes your skin delicate and soft.
