Everyone wants to know what soap is better for my skin? What soap is going to make my skin softer and healthier? Most soaps contain lye which can be very harsh on your skin. Glycerin is a by product that you get when soap is made, and since glycerin is more profitable to large soap making companies when used for lotions and other skin care products, it is extracted from the soap much of the time and used for the other products. This is why homemade soap makes your skin feel so much softer and beautiful. Now if you are the do-it-yourself type and want to try your hand at soap making you can buy glycerin soap in blocks at many craft stores. This is the easiest way to make your own soap. It is called melt and pour soap because that is about all you have to do. Melt the glycerin soap, add what scents you like best, and pour it into a mold. This is a fun and easy way for beginning soap makers and would make a great gift for the upcoming holidays. If you want to make true, from scratch, soap you will need to use lye. This process is a little more complicated and would be more for the advanced soap maker. Soap making is a fun and rewarding experience, and you can find many recipes online if you are wanting to get started.
