Why did Cleopatra bathe in donkey's milk?
There is absolutely no proof that Cleopatra ever bathed in donkey' milk. As Egypt is a hot country and in Cleo's day there was no refrigeration of air conditioning, milk of any kind would soon turn sour and curdle. Hardly something a queen would want to bathe in. However Cleopatra could possibly have used donkey's milk in a skin lotion mixed with other ingredients or even in a type of bath oil.
What did Cleopatra bathe in?
There is a myth that Cleopatra bathed in asses milk as a beauty treatment. While she may have used milk as an ingredient in a skin lotion, its highly unlikely that she would take a bath in sticky milk. The truth is that Cleopatra bathed in water like everyone else, except in her case the water was probably scented with perfume.
Did Cleopatra bathe with donkey's milk?
Probably not. She may have used milk as an ingredient in a beauty lotion of some kind, but actual bathing in milk seems unlikely. Milk would turn sour and curdle in Egypt's hot climate, not to mention the smell of sour milk. I hardly think that Cleopatra would put her body into a sticky, stinky, smell mess like that.
Did cleopatera bathe in milk?
History has said that Cleopatra bathed in milk to make her seem more seductive, but it is a very real possibility that she did. Cleopatra was said to always have complements on her beautiful skin and the milk baths may have helped with that. Milk has natural chemicals in it that breaks down dead skin. Her baths were probably not just milk; milk was more than likely just added to the water of the bath.
