Skin Care Tip: Sour milk bath

Tip description / details:
Cleopatra used to bathe in sour milk to help exfoliate and smooth her skin! Get a similar result from pouring a cup of milk into your bath, along with a drizzle of olive oil, then relax! Great to get your skin in tip top condition! Milk just past it's sell by date will be better, as it has a greater concentration of lactic acid - this is the chemical which helps to rejuvenate your skin, and works in the same way as AHA's in skin creams work.
