This makes for not just a healthy breakfast but for an amazing skin softener and soother as well. It makes your skin feel oh-so-good that you will rememberto keep a jar in your bathroom after first use. Mix it with a little water and let it stand for a bit. You will notice a protective gel it creates which will stay on your skin after the bath. This is great for retaining moisture. Oats have saponins which are great gentle cleansers especially for those with sensitive skin.

Milk

Many may already know this one but trying it out may need us to push you. This is an ancient remedy for amazing skin! The presence of natural lipids, lactic acid and the proteins exfoliate and nourish our skin. It leaves a natural glow and your skin also feels soft and supple. You can also give it a chocolate twist by adding twotbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, a cup of powdered milk, and 1 tbsp corn starch, amd use half a cup of the mixture every time you bathe.

This lovely drink is well known for its antioxidant content and its anti-aging properties. This alcoholic beverage boosts sagging skin and also helps in reducing inflammation and redness. All you have to do is pour one cup in the bath. Red wine has polyphenols which soften the skin and are known for treating dull skin cells. Just make sure to rinse well when you’re done.

Honey

Honey is liquid gold with umpteen benefits and uses and some of them include moisturisation, anti-aging, and even antibacterial properties. To make full use of honey, mix a spoonful of almond oil, vanilla extract and honey and then add it to your bath. You will know why we recommend this soon after use.

Ginger

Ginger is great not just for inside the body where we can include headache, arthritis pain, and digestive troubles but also for your skin!. Soak 1/2 cup of freshly grated ginger as it works well on your lymphatic and circulatory system quickly. Post-bath, sip on water and green tea as after using ginger, you’ll be sweating out toxins.
