How to Make Homemade Soap From Lavender Oil?

Skin is the largest organ we have. It is the only best friend we have since the day we were born and is going to be with us till we are on this planet. And, like any friendly relationship, our skin also requires love, care, attention and nurturing. Have you ever observed your skin after a shower? If you find that your skin is regularly irritated, dry, uncomfortable or has bumps after a shower, then it breaks our heart to reveal that you are not doing great as a friend. Maybe, you would be putting in all your efforts to keep your skin as healthy and beautiful as possible, but here, your soap has failed you.

Yes! You get that right. It is your soap that has been ditching you all the way in achieving supple and beautiful skin. Commercial and mass-produced soaps have a large number of toxic substances that do more harm to your skin than good.

Your skin deserves the products as elite as you are. Therefore, it is the right time to switch to homemade soaps. If buying handmade soap from stores imbalances your budget, then you should try making it at home in your free time. Soap making at home is a simple activity that you can even try with your little ones. Besides, it provides you the benefits of natural skincare and huge savings that otherwise be gone on a trip to salon.

Is this your first-time trying soap making at home? If yes, then be ready for the simplest and fun-filled D-I-Y project that is also known as Melt and Pour Method.
