Fresh Yogurt Milk Bath Recipes

BASIC SALT SOAK BATH FORMULA

Steps:

• Combine the sea salts, baking soda, and Epsom salts in a bowl.
• Stir to blend.
• Pour 1/4 cup or so into the bath while the tub is filling.
• Add 1 to 2 tablespoons glycerin to keep your skin from drying out (more for dry skin, less for oily skin) and essential oils of choice.
• Be sure to keep the glycerin and essential oils separate, adding them only to each bath and not the dry mixture.
• Store any unused mixture in a glass jar with a screw top (I use mayonnaise jars).

FRESH MILK BATH

Steps:

• Blend together egg, olive oil, glycerine and milk powder until a smooth paste forms.
• Add water a little a time until incorporated.
• To use: add 1/4 to 1/2 cup to your bath water. Refrigerate rest of mixture. Use within 1-1/2 weeks.

FRESH YOGURT

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a small saucepan and whisk in the powdered milk and honey. Place over medium heat and bring to 120 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Once the milk has reached has reached the target temperature, pour it into a cylindrical plastic container, reserving 1/2 cup. Whisk the reserved milk into the yogurt and add it back to the milk mixture.
• Place the container into a narrow wine bucket lined with a heating pad. Set the heating pad to medium. Let the mixture ferment for 3 to 12 hours, making sure the temperature stays as close to 115 degrees F as possible.
• After the fermentation is complete, refrigerate overnight.

FRESH YOGURT MILK BATH

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients into a container with a tight fitting lid. Shake well before using. Use the mixture up within 2 weeks. Discard if it smells "off". Make sure that the oil used has a clean smell and not have gone rancid.
• What each ingredient will do: Milk is very nourishing to the skin. Vinegar helps restore the pH balance in the skin. Epsom salts help detox the system. Kelp (or seaweed) is very good for detox, but has a very distinctive smell, so you might want to use caution if using
• To use: Use approx 1 cup per bath. Essentials oils make a heavenly bath (8 - 10 drops per bath). If you don't have an ingredient, just leave it out. The ingredients are all inter-changeable. Use what you have in the fridge, eg: sour cream, fruit juices, tomato juice -- what ever your fancy!
• Essential oils can be found in any large supermarkets or health food stores. Scent Options:
• - equal amounts of Lavender and Orange
• - equal amounts of Sandalwood and Patchouli.
• - equal amounts of sandalwood, orange, geranium.
