Cleopatra Bath:
a luxurious bath in milk and honey

The beauty secrets of the Egyptian queen

For over 2,000 years, people around the world have aspired to the beauty ideal set by Cleopatra, the famous Egyptian queen. Her legendary beauty was renowned in ancient times, and many myths surround her beauty rituals. It is said that the secret to her radiant complexion and soft, supple skin was her regular bath in a mixture of milk and honey. This timeless beauty treatment is still an integral part of the luxurious Cleopatra Bath, which remains highly popular in wellness centres around the world.

What is the Cleopatra Bath?

The Cleopatra Bath is a luxurious experience where you soak in a mixture of warm water, milk, and honey, often with added essential oils for extra benefits. Similar to other healing and beauty baths, the Cleopatra Bath allows your skin to absorb rich nutrients, minerals, and vitamins through the skin, offering a range of positive effects. The lactic acid in the milk gently exfoliates, removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother surface. At the same time, minerals and vitamins nourish the skin and the honey keeps your skin hydrated and soft, thanks to its antioxidising and antibacterial properties. Essential oils add an extra layer of relaxation and skin care. This 20- to 30-minute bath not only enhances your skin’s texture and appearance but also provides a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. 

What are the positive effects of Cleopatra Bath?

The Cleopatra Bath is especially popular for its benefits to skin health and appearance. The fats and proteins in the milk nourish, moisturise, and smooth the skin, while Vitamin E helps prevent early wrinkles. The lactic acid in the milk gently exfoliates, removing dead skin cells, and honey adds moisture, preventing dryness. Regular use of a Cleopatra bath can improve the skin’s texture, making it softer and more radiant. Additionally, the milk-honey mixture helps to detoxify the skin and stimulate metabolism, which can reduce cellulite. On top of all these benefits, the bath offers a relaxing experience that soothes and reduces stress.
