Secret # 21 Creamy Milk Masque

Secret # 21 Ayurvedic Creamy Milk Masque

This little secret will cost you less than $5.00 and it will leave your skin feeling silky smooth, nourished and looking lustrous.  I have been drawn to the principles of Ayurvedic remedies for many years. Ayurveda recognizes three basic energies of life. The first is known as Vata, the second is Pitta and the third is Kapha.  Ayurvedic remedies treat not only the symptom of dry skin, but the underlying imbalances that ultimately cause it.

Ingredients for the  Creamy Milk Masque:

- cow’s milk
- lemon juice 2-3 drops
- optional rose water 2-3 drops

1. Heat cow’s milk in a small pot
2. Let a skin form on top, remove the skin, and place it in a small saucer.
3. As soon as it is cool add the drops of lemon juice or rose water.
4. Take the back of a spoon and stir into a creamy paste.
5. Smooth mixture onto your face or any other dry areas and leave it on for 30 minutes to 2 hours before rinsing with luke warm water. 
6. You will be glowing!
