Sun, sweat and dirt are three things that people normally encounter everyday. Incidentally, they are also some of the reasons why germs and bacteria latch on people’s skin. People take a bath to rid themselves of these disease-causing microorganisms. Water alone cannot eliminate all of the germs, which is why people use soap to brush away dirt and microbes from their skin. Remember to always use bath soap whenever you clean any part of your body. If you have the proper materials, you can make your own bath soap.

To tell you the truth, the costs of making soap and purchasing soap are very similar. If you are not a big fan of simple experiments that you can do during your free time, you can just go for store bought soap. Making soap is for people who see the act as a hobby or a source of cheap thrills.

Soap is pretty easy to make because of the simple procedures and abundant materials required. Some people love to make soap since there are so many soap mold patterns available. You can mold your soap into almost any pattern that you can think of, as long as you have the soap mold for it. You can even order customized molds in the near future, when you get the hang of making soap.

Materials Used:

• glycerin melt – 4 ounces
• soap mold
• knife
• measuring cup – the size of two cups
• microwave oven
• spoon
• rubbing alcohol
• perfume (optional)

Gather the Materials and Soap Ingredients

Except for the glycerin melt and the soap mold, all the materials needed are probably available in your home. You can get both the glycerin melt and the soap mold from most health and beauty shops. Just ask the sales person to get the glycerin melt and direct you to the store section for soap molds. From that point on, you can purchase the soap molds of your choice.

Melt the Soap

When you have all the materials ready, get the glycerin melt and chop it into cubes. Put the cubes inside the measuring cup then place the cup in the microwave oven. After about a minute, take the cup out then stir its contents. If there are still soap bits inside the measuring cup, return the cup to the microwave and take it out after ten seconds. At that point, the soap bits will surely have melted.

The Hardening Stage

Pour the melted soap inside your soap molds. Add some alcohol and a little perfume in the mold to make the soap bar clear and fragrant. Wait for about an hour and your soap will have hardened. Now, take your bath soaps out of their molds and ready them for bath time.

With your bath soap ready, germs and bacteria are nothing but non-factors. You can literally whisk germs away together with bad days, upon applying a little soap-on-skin action.
