CHAMPAGNE
DYI Champagne Soak
* Combine half a cup of Epsom salt and 1 cup of powdered milk in a bowl, then add 1 cup of champagne.
* Warm 1 teaspoon of honey in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add it to the mixture.
* Pour into running bath water, and when the tub is full, hop in and relax.
When you soak in hot water, that opens your pores. The Epsom salt is great for detoxifying, cleansing and relaxing sore, tight muscles. The champagne helps to detoxify the skin. The carbon dioxide, or bubbles, in sparkling wine aids in tightening and constricting pores.
Benefits of champagne: Champagne is beneficial because of antioxidants in the grape seed extract it contains.
