Style
We love: Silky Smooth Skin

Most people think I’m mad when in the middle of a hot summer’s day I’ll go and take a bath.

In 30 degree heat and high humidity, I’ll just wander away and run a tub. It truly is the absolute best way to keep my skin silky smooth. But it’s not just any old bath that I prefer to paddle in.

I would rather soak in masses of oatmeal, mountains of sushi or a mix of milk and honey. You may be thinking that I’m taking the phrase “You are what you eat” a little far but let me explain. Every week in summer I create different bath concoctions to ensure that I remain soft and satin-like throughout the festive season and the following are a few of my favourites.

Cleopatra’s Milk and Honey Bath
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 4 cups whole milk or 11/3 cups of powdered milk
  • 2 tablespoons of honey

    Run luke-warm water and add the cornstarch underneath it while making sure no lumps form. Then add the milk and honey and keep filling until the desired depth is reached. Then lie back and dream that some Greek god is feeding you grapes.

    Oatmeal bath
  • 1 cup uncooked oatmeal

    Pour the oatmeal into a knee-high sock. Hold the sock over the faucet and run the bath so the water filters through the sock. Tie the top of the sock and make it into a ball. Wring out the excess and jump in. You can even use the oatmeal ball as an exfoliating scrub.

    Sushi Bath
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil

    Pour the rice into the foot of some clean stockings and run a very hot bath. Put the opening of the sock over the faucet and run the water through it. Add two tablespoons of sesame oil to the water and put on some relaxing music. The rice bag can also be used as a loofah as well.


    And the best way to finish off one of these baths? Put on some silky smooth underwear. In association with Antz Pantz, Carefree have got five silky undies packs which include Carefree Silk Ease tampons. Click here to enter.
