Bathe like Cleopatra Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, was famed throughout history for her beautiful looks and it’s rumoured that she bathed in donkey’s milk daily for radiant skin. If you suffer from sensitive skin that flares up using perfumed cleanser, try using whole cow’s milk as a daily cleanser; it’s gentle and surprisingly effective in removing excess oil and makeup. For a lavish soak a la Cleopatra, add a couple of cups of milk to a warm oak soak bath. We recommend Oat Soak bath sachets from Skin Shop, which are a really simple and 100 per cent natural way of instantly calming and smoothing dry, itchy and irritated skin. Made from pure ground colloidal oats, which are a finer form of oats that can remain suspended in the water, they’re not messy either, so you won’t step out of the bath looking like you’ve had an argument with a big bowl of porridge.
