Currently, a huge number of all kinds of hygiene products are provided on store shelves. However, despite this, many people prefer to make soap and gel themselves. And this is not surprising, because in the manufacture of these products, you can take into account the characteristics of your skin and select the most suitable components.
There is a fairly simple option for making an excellent caring liquid soap, which does not require special costs, and neither money nor time. So, to make it you will need:
- 1 piece of baby or glycerin soap (you can take remnants);
- 1 tablespoon of glycerin (available freely at the pharmacy);
- seven to nine drops of essential oil (what kind of oil - choose yourself);
- five tablespoons of dried chamomile flowers.
Once all the ingredients are in store, you can start making homemade liquid soap.
The first step is to prepare a chamomile broth. Put five tablespoons of chamomile in a saucepan, pour the flowers with cold filtered water (300-400 ml) and put on low heat. Bring the mass to a boil, then remove from the stove and let cool to a temperature of 50-55 degrees. Strain the broth through cheesecloth. Now you need to grate the soap on a coarse grater and mix the flakes with the broth, put the mass on the fire and try to dissolve the soap flakes as soon as possible. Next, you need to carefully remove the resulting foam on the surface of the soap. After the mass has cooled down, add glycerin to it and mix well. The last step is adding essential oil. What kind of oil to add - decide for yourself.
Some of the properties of the most common essential oils are worth mentioning. Orange oil perfectly tones the skin, increases the body's resistance, makes the skin firm and soft.
Clove oil perfectly soothes the skin, promotes rapid healing of pustules, acne and other rashes on it.
Grapefruit oil tones the skin well, tightens pores, whitens, fights cellulite.
Ylang-ylang oil perfectly moisturizes, rejuvenates, evens out the skin, gives it radiance, elasticity and velvety.
Lavender oil fights redness and flaking of the skin, perfectly moisturizes.
After the essential oil has been added, pour the soap into a special container and shake it to mix all the ingredients again. So the liquid homemade soap is ready, which can replace the purchased one.
