Bath Time Milk

How many times have we been told to drink our milk? We drink milk as a baby and as we grow older we are always reminded to drink milk for our bones.

Sure we know that milk, with its load of calcium, vitamins and minerals, is not only good for bones and teeth, but also helps boost the immune system and ward off diseases.

But did you know that milk is also a beauty ingredient. Have you ever wondered if it is true that Cleopatra, the Egyptian glamour queen, have a daily milk bath to keep her skin young ang supple?
Milk contains lactive acid, which helps exfoliate, remove dead skin cells and whiten skin. It helps
moisturize, soothe, cleanse and nourish your skin.

Would you like to try using milk in your bath. If yes, then here are two ways to do it.

If you have a bath tub then you can really soak in a milk bath. Fill the bath tub with warm water.
Put 2 cups powdered whole milk, 2 cups whole milk(liquid) and 1 cup honey. If you have oily skin, you can add 2 tablespoons of juice of lemon, lime or calamansi. If you have dry skin, you can add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix and let the ingredients soak together for 5 minutes. Then get in the tub, soak and enjoy. When you're done, make sure to rinse off with clean water.

If you do not have a bath tub then you can use this milk shower gel. To make a milk shower gel, mix together equal parts powdered whole milk and honey then adjust until it has a gel consistency. Apply and massage to your whole body just like a regular shower gel. When you're done, rinse off with warm water.

You'll have soft and radiant skin!

It All Started With a Body Lotion

I was first introduced to Human Nature or Human Heart Nature by my niece. She gave a 100ml Hand and Body Lotion.


I tried it and I liked it. It smells good, feels good and being all natural without any harmful chemicals then it must be really good for my skin, my body. It has goat's milk and cocoa butter. It's light, non-sticky lotion is perfect for used as often as you want. Apply all over after you take a bath or onto your hands after washing to replenish lost moisture. It comes in 100ml and 200ml packs in Mango or Guava scents (Strawberry which I like the best is only available while stocks last). The 100ml is good to put in your bag so you have it all day long.

My niece is a Human Nature dealer so I became one also. Even if I don't intend to sell to others actively, I will and am using it continuously. And since Human Nature is Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment, I will be helping my country, my fellow men and my environment while keeping myself beautiful. Isn't that great!

This is my first Human Nature box containing all the Human Nature products I ordered.



From the hand and body lotion, I am now also using the Body Butter and the Hand and Foot Salve. The Body Butter in 50g, 100g and 200g is available in Mango scent or Unscented (Strawberry available while stocks last). It has goat's milk and cocoa butter which is perfect not just to deeply moisturize and rejuvinate skin but also to diminish the appearance of stretch masks. I usually use it in the morning after bath and at night before sleeping.

The Hand and Foot Salve comes in 50g pack in Banana or Eucalyptus scent. It has Beeswax, Bee Propolis and Carrot Oil. It is good for very dry and cracked skin. So I usually use it for my soles and fingers. It's goood for very dry fingers which happens when after I bake or make some bead accessories.



Do try them! It's good not just for you but for others too!
