DIY Body Wash

This is what you need to get started

  • Food grater
  • Unscented bar soap
  • Measuring cup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tbsp. glycerin
  • Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Glass jar
  • Essential oil
Making your own bodywash is a great way of knowing exactly what is in it before using it. So to get started, you want to grate 2 cups of unscented castile soap into a saucepan. Then you will pour 1/2 cup of water into your pan. Then take glycerin and add 3tbsps into your mix. You want to put your burner on a low setting, keep stirring slowly with a wooden spoon until the mixture is fully dissolved. When the mix is dissolved, take the pan off the stove. Carefully pour your mixture into a mason jar. Once in the jar drop 20 drops of your favorite essential oil into the mix. You can store your mason jar in the bathroom just like you would any other body wash. This would also make a great gift idea, by just jazzing up the jar.
