Linseed oil: the beautiful modern alternative to asses’ milk bath
Asses’ milk was, of course, hailed as an elixir by the ancients and favoured by Cleopatra for daily bathing. In fact ancient history is full of renowned beauties who appreciated asses’ milk to preserve the beauty of their skin and help banish wrinkles. Poppaea Sabina, the wife of the Roman Emperor Nero, and the sister of Napoleon Bonaparte were also devotees. We now know that modern science has identified their beauty secret as omega-3, which is absorbed through the skin from the bath of asses’ milk. Due to the scarcity and expense of asses’ milk linseed oil is an excellent alternative.
