Ingredients
- 1 tsp Liquid glycerine- Glycerin is one of the most effective moisturisers as it helps your skin absorb moisture from the air. The clear liquid acts as a humectant (a substance that retains or preserves moisture) that stops the water in your skin from getting evaporated.
- 1 cup Distilled water- This can be bottled, filtered or even rain water. Try not to use tap water as this may have more bacteria that can reproduce in the mixture.
- 15 drops Essential oil- I used sweet almond as i love the smell but you can use whatever scent you prefer. Make sure to do a skin test each time you try a new oil as you may have a reaction.
- 1/4 cup Liquid/Castile soap- Castile soap is a concentrated vegetable-based soap made of ingredients you can actually pronounce. This soap is gentle on the skin and effective in the fight against dirt and unwanted germs.
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bottle and shake gently.
It may be helpful to use a squeezy bootle or dispenser for this body wash. Rub on skin to lather up the mixture.
Give it a lightshake before each use.
Use within a month.
