Homemade Liquid Soap from BarsWhen you do this for the first time, you will be amazed at how much of your money is being taken for giving you much less of a product! Make your own liquid soap.
Homemade Hand SoapIn the days of counting pennies, this will help if you buy the hand soap pumps like I do. Once that pump is empty, I make my own for pennies using 1 Tbsp. dish soap and 1 tsp. of bleach.
Making Lye SoapsThis first recipe is the old fashioned lye soap. It is very caustic at the beginning, so pets and children should be kept away. I don't know where you live, but it's better to do the whole operation outside because it is pretty vile smelling.
Using Leftover Soap PiecesWhen bars of hand soap are almost finished, getting the small remnants to stick together properly can be a pain, and they certainly do not look quite right for use in the guest bathroom.
Cornmeal Skin CleanserThis tip will give you soft, beautiful skin; it's a little messy, but it's well worth it. Place one cup of coarse cornmeal into a plastic cup. Pour a little water on the cornmeal so that the cornmeal will absorb the water.
Old Fashioned Granulated SoapThis is how my grandma used to make soap. A just for fun recipe!
Soap MakingI've found that all soap products have continued to rise in price for many years, so I started making my own. I was so afraid of using Red Devil Lye that it took me a long time to get enough courage to do my first batch of bath and beauty bars.
