While
she was the queen of the Nile, Cleopatra made a name for herself not
only in history but in the world of beauty as well; mainly due to her
vast beauty regimens. From super soft skin to luscious locks, her beauty
secrets have made their way into our own beauty routines. The wonderful
thing about Cleopatra’s beauty secrets is they are surprisingly simple
and yet they are quite effective. In a three part series, we'll cover my top three favorite beauty
secrets from the Egyptian goddess.
Milk As A Moisturizer
Cleopatra was considered to have amazing skin and it was largely credited to her facial masks that included either milk, honey, or mud. And we all have heard the stories of the queen bathing in milk to get smooth, glowing skin. The queen must have seen the amazing results and quickly realized the benefits of milk. Milk has amino acids which are great in helping the skin stay moisturized. In the hot sunny climate of Egypt, this was absolutely necessary for her and a regular part of her beauty routine.
Moisturizing Milk Mask
Preparation:
Mix the three ingredients together in a small bowl. Apply the mask all over the face and neck. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes. Remove the mask with lukewarm water. Pat gently access water with a tissue. Recommended once a week.
