Here Are Some Other Great Ways to Use Milk

Share some relaxing spa recipes and suggest an at-home spa day for moms as part of your Spring dairy promotions.

Lavender – Honey Milk Bath

3 tablespoons dried lavender flowers*
1 1/2 cups whole milk, cream or combination
1/3 cup honey

Process lavender flowers in a blender until they become a powder, turning off the blender and scraping down the sides as necessary. Whisk together lavender powder, milk, and honey in a glass bowl, then pour into a jar. Before each use, shake the jar and pour half of the mixture into the bath. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. Makes enough for two baths.

*NOTE: Dried lavender flowers can be found in the spice section of gourmet and specialty stores.

Moisture Mask

2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons milk
Mix honey with milk. Smooth over face and throat. Leave on 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Honey Kissed Yogurt Facial

Here’s a facial treat that’s good enough to eat! Afterwards, enjoy a yogurt parfait: Layer 1 cup of yogurt with your favorite fruit and crunchy cereal. Top with a dollop of honey.

1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey

Mash avocado into small bowl. Mix in yogurt and honey. Apply thoroughly to face and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water, and then use cold water to close the pores. Refrigerate any remaining product (will keep for two days in refrigerator).
