Homemade Milk Bath Recipe and Relaxing Tips
Lock yourself in the bathroom, put on some soothing music and light a candle… If you are lucky, you may have 5 minutes of peace and total quiet before your hubby and kids notice you are missing. 😉
Every time I soak in the tub, I think of one of my favorite cartoons. It it shows the woman laying in a bubble bath and yelling to her husband, “We really need to get new faucets for this tub. I can’t turn these on and off with my toes.” 😀 😀
Here is a recipe for a homemade milk bath and tips that will help you relax and feel better!
Homemade Milk Bath Recipe
Ingredients
3 cups dry milk
5-6 drops essential or fragrance oil
Instructions
- Mix ingredients together.
- Add ½ cup to your bath water.
Notes
If you don’t have dry milk, try adding 2-3 tablespoons baby oil for a relaxing bath!
Tips
- Eyes looking a little rough around the edges? Try cucumber slices or tea bags on the eyes to help reduce puffiness. Try it for half an hour while soaking in the tub.
- To save money on manicures, don’t get them so often. Instead, use a nail buffer to shine nails between manicures.
- Go to the local beauty school to have manicures, pedicures and facials. You can feel pampered without spending a fortune. Five bucks is a great deal for a facial!
- After Christmas sales can offer many great deals on bath and beauty products. Purchase nail care kits after Christmas at half price. You can get several polishes and tools for $2-$4. If you family loves to receive perfume, cologne or aftershave, stock up after Christmas when gift sets are on clearance. Give for Mother’s Day, Father’s day, Birthday’s, etc.
