What’s in the Milk Bath Recipe?
Let’s dive into the benefits of this milk bath recipe.
Milk Powder
The milk powder in this recipe is going to cleanse, nourish, soften, and moisturize your skin. Full-fat milk powder is best for this recipe because along with nourishing your skin, it will also carry the essential oils safely onto your skin.
Epsom Salts
Epsom salts are also in this recipe. Epsom salts are inexpensive and found in most supermarkets. There are many benefits of Epsom salts in a bath including helping your body eliminate waste, soothe muscular aches and pains, and stimulate blood circulation to support your body’s immune response.
Lavender Buds
Lavender buds, or lavender flowers are used in this recipe for their beauty and ability to create a calming atmosphere. Their lavender aroma is a great way to create a relaxing bath. Tip: If you are worried about the buds clogging your bathtub drain, you can grind them in a coffee grinder before mixing them into this recipe.
Tranquility Essential Oil Blend
Tranquility Essential Oil Blend is made up of Lemon, Patchouli, Sweet Orange, Amyris, and Ylang Ylang Essential Oils. It’s the perfect blend of oils for rest and relaxation after a long day. This blend smells great with the lavender buds used in this milk bath recipe to create an atmosphere of calm.
