Cleopatra's Beauty Secrets
The Legendary Queen of Egypt was known for her exquisite
complexion. One of her secret beauty treatments, the milk and
honey bath are still being used today.
One of the main ingredients, Milk, contains lactic acid, which
helps to exfoliate your skin. The lactic acid in milk is an
alpha hydroxy acid, which helps to cleanse the deepest layers of
the skin.
Honey has an abundance of health properties. First of all, it is
composed of sugars like glucose and fructose so it is also a
gentle alpha hydroxy acid. It's made up of both minerals and
vitamins to help nourish and heal the skin. Since it also
contains phytochemicals that kill viruses, bacteria, and fungus,
it's has a natural anti-inflammatory effect which heals wounds
quickly. This makes honey a good substitute for wound dressings.
Here are a couple of ways to enjoy these 2 main ingredients
found in her ancient beauty secrets.
