Rumors about Cleopatra’s beauty have been spreading around since the ancient times. The most beautiful part in her beauty was her healthy-looking skin that, according to various sources, was pampered by only two simple ingredients – honey and milk. These products are considered to be universal when trying to improve the beauty of the face, hair and body. Besides, they have an amazing smell.

Before having a bath, Cleopatra was also rubbing her body with a mixture of sea salt and heavy cream, so you can also use this recipe. Just mix 200 grams of the sea salt and half of the cup of the heavy cream. This procedure helps to remove the dead cells of the skin, opens the pores, while water with milk and honey nourishes, refreshes and softens it.
