Today I did something different. I bought a kilo of Yacht Bath & Body glycerine soap base raw material online. It's been a long time that I didn't touch soap crafting.
So why now? I kept on having pimples lately and my ever reliable skin regimen seemed to have failed me. I have been struggling for more than a year now and the dermatologist said that it was hormonal imbalance. To make the long story short, I bought a glycerine soap for myself. I want to get away from all the harsh chemicals that commercial soaps have and just craft an unscented and gentle soap for me.
Well, I am not saying that commercial soaps are harsh, blah, blah. Believe me, I won't describe it as something bad. It is not! I've been using commercial soaps ever since but I also remember the time when I was young and my friend's mom gave me a handmade soap that she brought back from her trip. It smelled like the scent of summer and now as I write this, I can't help but imagine what and how was the feeling had been. You know, that feeling of luxurious and creamy lather.. you would not even want to get out from the shower.
So nostalgic!
I can't wait to put my hands into soap crafting again. If I have extra soap base, who knows, I might also make some for my friends too.
