FASHION+BEAUTY Look after the inside too Bathe like Cleopatra Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of ancient Egypt, was famed throughout history for her beautiful looks and it’s rumoured that she bathed in donkey’s milk daily for radiant skin. If you suffer from sensitive skin that flares up using perfumed cleanser, try using whole cow’s milk as a daily cleanser; it’s gentle and surprisingly effective in removing excess oil and makeup. A new generation of supplement, Equi London’s ‘Beautiful’ is a collagen-infused drink that promises to promote glowing skin from the inside out. Ideal for those with time-conscious schedules, but who want to keep a firm eye on their health, the revolutionary supplement delivers a potent boost of nutrients in one tonic. The 'Beautiful' powder combines GlowCutis® technology - a powerful complex of marine collagens and all sorts of other natural goodies to fight ageing and promote skin regeneration with your daily dose of multivitamins, antioxidants, omegas, probiotics and adaptogenic herbs, which work to support every body system needed to keep your skin clear, glowing and more resistant to the signs of ageing. Adaptogenic herbs? No, me neither, but unusually named ingredients aside, they’re all natural and this product is making waves on the skincare scene, so it’s definitely worth a try (£62 for 30day supply, www.equilondon.com). For a lavish soak à la Cleopatra, add a couple of cups of milk to a warm oak soak bath. We recommend Oat Soak bath sachets from Skin Shop, which are a really simple and 100 percent natural way of instantly calming and smoothing dry, itchy and irritated skin. Made from pure ground colloidal oats, which are a finer form of oats that can remain suspended in the water, they’re not messy either, so you won’t step out of the bath looking like you’ve had an argument with a big bowl of porridge.
