What is a Milk Bath? 

A milk bath involves bathing in milk-scented bath water, which is thought to have soothing effects on the senses and muscles. The warmth and richness of the milk creates a protective layer on the skin, while also nourishing it deeply. 

Benefits of Milk Baths

Milk baths are known for their moisturizing and skin-softening properties, which is why so many people swear by them.

Milk baths are a luxurious way to relax and rejuvenate the skin. Soaking in a milk bath can help improve skin hydration, reduce inflammation and itchy skin, shed dead skin cells, moisturize dry skin and promote circulation thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties.
