Taking a milk bath for sunburn relief can be a soothing and restorative experience. Follow these steps to create your milk bath and enjoy its calming effects on sun-damaged skin.
Step 1: Fill Your Tub With Warm Water
Begin by filling your bathtub with warm water. The water should be comfortable to the touch and not too hot to avoid further irritating your sunburn. Once the tub is filled, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Add Milk Bath Essential
Take a generous amount of our Hydrating Aloe Vera Milk Bath and disperse it in warm water using your hands. Continue to mix until it is fully dissolved and the water turns a rich, milky white. Our milk bath is enriched with aloe vera's healing properties, the comforting embrace of Oatmeal, Honey's moisturizing essence, and Chamomile's calming effects. This milk bath offers a soothing soak that deeply hydrates, soothes, and rejuvenates your sunburnt skin.
Step 3: Mix In Additional Ingredients
To enhance the healing properties of your milk bath, consider adding natural ingredients from the New Miuz line of products. Oatmeal, honey, or baking soda can be mixed into the bath for their soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits. Add a cup of ground oatmeal, baking soda, or a few tablespoons of honey to the water, ensuring they dissolve fully.
Step 4: Add Essential Oils
Incorporate a few drops of soothing essential oils, such as lavender or chamomile, into the bath for their aromatherapeutic qualities. These oils can help to calm your mind and promote better skin health. New Miuz’s 100% natural essential oils are perfect for enhancing your bath with their pure, aromatic properties.
Step 5: Soak For Relief
Submerge yourself in the milk bath and relax for 15-20 minutes. Gently soak the affected areas of your skin. Allow the natural ingredients to work their magic, soothing and moisturizing your sunburn as you unwind in the serene atmosphere you've created.
Step 6: Rinse Off Gently
After your soak, rinse the milk and other ingredients with cool, not cold, water. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing it. This helps to ensure you don't aggravate your sunburned skin further.
Step 7: Moisturize Your Skin
After patting your skin dry, apply a gentle, natural moisturizer to lock in hydration. New Miuz’s range of cruelty-free, paraben-free moisturizers can envelop your skin with additional nourishment and relief, providing a protective layer that supports skin healing.
Frequency And Duration Of Milk Baths For Optimal Results
When considering a milk bath for sunburn, the frequency and duration of each bath can significantly impact the soothing properties that alleviate sunburn discomfort. It is essential to find the right balance to optimize the skin-healing benefits without overdoing it.
- Frequency of Milk Bath: If you are focusing on sunburn relief, it is recommended that you indulge in a milk bath 1-2 times a week.
- Duration of Milk Bath: Each session should last approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Within this time frame, the milk's cool temperature helps to reduce the heat of the burn, while the proteins, fat, and lactic acid in milk can assist in curbing inflammation and hydrating the skin.
Final Thoughts
Adding a milk bath to your sunburn care routine can be a soothing and effective way to reduce discomfort while nourishing your skin. Milk's lactic acid gently exfoliates, while its proteins, fat, and vitamins can help reduce inflammation and restore hydration.
