It’s often the small bursts of happiness we get from acts of self-care that make the biggest difference to our well-being. Especially when they come from our mothers? We can’t help but add them to our daily routine. Here, we discover what gives our #LeMillLadies unwavering joy on the daily.

Naturally You with #LeMillLady Laila Lamba

Le Mill Lady Laila Lamba tells us, “Both mom and I had thin skin, so she always made sure we both patted rose petals in milk on our face before bathing.” The natural lipids in milk act as a great moisturizer while the enzymes from the rose petals help soothe your skin. “Mom considered proteins as the building blocks of our body for our muscles, hair and nails and never failed to include that in our diet”, she adds.
