Today, I want to give you a simple and fun recipe. This time I will share how I made a glycerin soap. Of course, when I tell you that the main ingredient of this soap will be glycerin, you may think that it is a chemical soap. But you are wrong. This soap is all natural.

Because this soap has amazing moisturising effect. And moist is what a sensitive skin needs. Glycerin will attract and hold water when it is in contact. This way, it will transfer all the water and moist to your skin. So, you can use this soap to wash your face. By doing that, you will use one of the most natural and beneficial facial cleaning products of all time.
Also, this soap will balance the pH level of your skin. So, if you have oily skin, your skin will no longer shine. And for dry skins, this soap will give all the moist you will ever need. Preparation of this homemade glycerin soap is super easy. If you want to spice things up, you can add essential oil to your recipe. Here, I gave you my own DIY soap recipe with essential oil.
While preparing this recipe, there is one important thing to consider. While mixing glycerin, you should use wooden spoon. Metal spoons may react with the soap ingredient and can cause undesired chemical reactions in the soap. If this happens, all benefits of the soap will disappear.
