Milk + honey

-

For a pampering way to rehydrate itchy, flaky skin, Ciminelli suggests soaking in milk and honey. Milk’s lactic acid and vitamin A work topically to encourage the growth of healthy new cells, and honey is a humectant that deeply moisturize­s skin to keep it supple. Plus, honey’s anti-inflammato­ry properties soothe red, rashy skin.

To do: Mix 1⁄2 cup of honey into 2 cups of milk; microwave for 30 seconds or until honey has dissolved. Pour into warm bathwater; soak for 20 minutes.
