The Almond Glow treatment uses milk and honey (as well as crushed almonds and nutmeg lotion). Milk and honey have a long history as beauty aids. Legend says that Cleopatra herself, queen of the Nile, bathed daily in milk and honey. Many ancient civilizations, including Ancient Egypt, associated milk and honey with fertility and abundance, as in the proverbial “land of milk and honey.”
Modern science supports the long-held belief that milk and honey can help maintain healthy, youthful skin. Both are humectants, attracting and retaining water to help moisturize. The lactic acid in milk breaks down dead skin cells, helping skin to rejuvenate more quickly. Honey is rich in nutrients which are good for the skin. It also contains enzymes which help it act as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Thus not only is honey good for sensitive skin, it can also remove impurities from skin, acting as a natural detoxifying agent.
