How to get started making moisturizing soap recipes

Three are many different ways that you can make homemade soap. I have found that melt and pour soaps are the easiest type for a beginner to make. This DIY Loofah Soap is one of my favorites.

With a melt and pour soap, you begin with a soap base that you can purchase at a craft store. You melt the soap and add essential oils, herbs, coffee grounds, flax seeds, and other add-ins to make your soap unique and give it a scent.

Then you pour the melted soap base into soap molds and allow it to harden.  Then you simply pop the soap out of the soap molds and it’s ready to be used. You will need:

• Melt and pour soap

• Soap mold

• Essential oils

If you enjoy making your own beauty products, you may want to try my 3 ingredient homemade facial recipe or my cinnamon apple body scrub recipe. They are both very easy ways to create your own healthy beauty products for just a fraction of what you’d spend at the store.
