Everyone should know that a luxurious bath can teally take the edge off of a stressful day, or even week or month, so it’s tragic to see that few girls take advantage of this well-known fact. Don’t you know that stress causes wrinkles? =)
But a bath can serve other purposes as well, especially if you have dry, and/or acne-prone skin. The timing of this beauty tip is perfect if you’re in the northern part of the world, where it’s getting cold and dry fast outside!
For a luxurious skin-renewal, take a quick shower (so you’re clean, not stewing in your own filth!), then add 1/4 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of milk (dry or powdered, doesn’t matter) to the bath, mix around a little, then hop in and soak. Both milk and honey are amazing moisterizers (look around–you’ll find plenty of moisturizers with those ingrediants for this reason!) without adding grease to your skin, if sometmes it’s oily. Honey is also a natural antibiotic that can help you combat acne–adding it to the bathwater is perfect if you have acne on your body.
Sometimes, when I try this trick, I turn the lights down and keep a jar of honey near me so I can spread it around on my face. It’s delicious and has a POWERFUL effect on healing my acne! (I’m EXTREMELY acne prone!)
So, what are you waiting for? Go try it!
(Don’t forget to have a warm-smelling candle and plenty of fluffy towels around!)
