No she didn't. She bathed in milk. Scientists in today's modern times have discovered that milk baths actually do help cure some skin issues. It was Queen Mary I who supposedly bathed in the blood of young maids, which she believed kept her looking young.
Yes. Egyptian queen Cleopatra, well-known for her extraordinary beauty and she loved to bathe in milk.
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.
They never bathed in blood as a ritual or religious belief. This is a myth, or if true it was that pyhsco murderer who did so. They did have showers, during which they would stand on a stone slab and have a servant pour water on them. There is also a possibility that the rich bathed in goat milk, as it is healthy.
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.
