Ancient Beauty Secret Revealed

"Her character, which pervaded her actions in an inexplicable way when meeting people, was utterly spellbinding. The sound of her voice was sweet when she talked."

There is no doubt that the woman with whom both Caesar and Marc Anthony fell in love with was beautiful. But what were her ancient Egyptian beauty secrets?

The secret starts here...

- milk or milk powder

- honey

Add these two ingredients to your bathwater. You can subtitude with goat's milk that contains capric-capryllic triglyceride which helps to moisturize and soften.

Sea salts, especially those from the Dead Sea were also prized by Egyptians. A prescription for a body scrub found in medical papyri is as follows:

1 part honey
1 part natron (use baking soda)
1 part Lower Egyptian salt (use bath salts or Dead Sea salts)
Grind to a paste and rub into the body.

For a wonderfully authentic ancient aroma, add a drop of frankincense and myrrh essential oils as these were treasured scents of the ancient Egytians. Scrub your body with this paste and let it sit for a few minutes as you relax and enjoy before rinsing clean.
