Did Cleopatra take a bath in milk?
Answer 1
No, she more than likely did not bath in milk. Remember where she lived. Egypt. A very hot country before the days of refrigeration. Milk would quickly turn sour. Who would put their body into a tub of sour, smelly milk? That is not to say that she did not use milk or a milk product in some form in a cosmetic or body lotion, combined with oils and perfume.
Answer 2
While there is no complete evidence of Cleopatra bathing in milk, it's still possible she did. True, they didn't have proper refrigeration, but the Egyptian Empire were one of the largest in history, it would not have been too difficult to import chunks of ice from nearby mountainous regions, which can be used to keep ingredients cool in a sealed room or container. This trick has been used by the Arabics and Greeks all through history up to the invention of proper refrigeration.

How Did Cleopatra's Siblings Die?
Cleopatra had 5 siblings. There was the oldest Cleopatra VI. Cleopatra VII had the same name as her. She died because her father wanted his throne back. And her 2nd oldest sister named Berenice was beheaded probably because she was married to her cousin to keep the royal blood but she choked him so she could marry a different man. After that comes Cleopatra VII. And then comes Cleopatra's young sister Arsinoe. As soon as Cleopatra got her throne back her sister ran away to the people who kicked her from the throne. So Cleopatra got mad and requested someone to kill her. So Arsinoe was killed by her own sister. The oldest brother was Ptolemy XII and he was killed because while Cleopatra and Mark Antony were having war between Ptolemy XII and he drowned in the river of Nile while he was escaping. And the other younger brother Ptolemy XIV was poisoned by Cleopatra. So all of her siblings were killed and in the end Cleopatra died because an Asp bit her and killed her. (She wanted the Asp to kill her after Mark Antony killed himself.)
Cleopatra loved Cleopatra. Her entire reign was devoted to enhancing her kingdom and by enhancing her kingdom, she enhanced herself. She used whatever means at her disposal to further her aims.
