Cleopatra was distinguished by an unprecedented beauty and youth. She lived to be thirty-eight (which at the time was akin to longevity) and, probably, would have lived for a long time if she had not drunk the poison for unknown reasons. What helped her to almost forty years of looking beautiful, young and well-groomed despite the fact that no magic could be used to maintain beauty and youth at that time?.

The queen had an impressive list of her own beauty recipes, which she used extensively all her life. Most likely, they were effective, if they still remember about the charm of this woman.

Cleopatra paid special attention to her skin. In this it was well helped by unusual baths. It is known that in Egypt the climate is hot enough, there are a lot of sun, because the skin of women under the influence of direct rays and in high temperatures has dried up, becoming unpleasant to the touch and delivering to the hostess a lot of inconveniences. Cleopatra found a way to solve the problem - baths of donkey's milk.

This procedure she performed daily, and the result was not long in coming.

In order to repeat the recipe of the legendary beauty, it is necessary to take honey and milk (preferably warm) in the proportion 1: 4. A quarter of an hour spent in such a bath will give the skin softness, make it more elastic. When taking a bath, the temperature of the liquid should not exceed the body temperature (as is known, the hot temperature causes the skin to age prematurely).
