Hello.

This handmade recipe is fast & very worthwhile.

Grapefruit an pink himalayan salt is a beautiful combination in soap. The grapefruit boasts sharp, sweet and uplifting scents and the pink salt acts as a natural exfoliator.

This zesty soap is the ideal gift and perfect for a spa experience.

*Grapefruit essential oil

*Himalayan salt

*Soap colour (purple)

*Melt an pour soap

*Alcohol (isopropyl) with spray bottle

*Saucepan

*Heatproof jug

*Mixing spoon

*Mould. Of choice

*greaseproof paper.


As I buy all my products from Amazon,( I became a Amazon associate so if any links get used I get some commission it dont effect the price just help's my page)

But that's not why you're here.


Let's get started.


Firstly measure your saop to melt

I used for my mould 50grams

Chop in small bits it helps melt faster.

Next add hot water to the saucepan an place your melt an pour in your heatproof jug.

Let it all melt down.

Use this time to prepare your mould an oils


Below is my Himalayan salt an grapefruit essential Oil.

I also add my salt to my soap mix mixing well so it dont all sink to the bottom.

Add salt an colour

2 table spoons of salt to the mix


I add my oils at 40f.


35 drops of grapefruit

Time to pour it in to the mould

Mixing well

Spray you're mould with alcohol then grind some salt evenly across the bottom of the mould


Time to pour into your mould.

Keep mixing well.

It will be hot so be careful.

Once you've filled mould sprinkle more salt over the top.

Sprinkle as much as you like.

I had a little mix left so I drizzled it over the top.

Adding a bit more salt.

Spay the top with one spray of alcohol this prevents all bubbles

Time to leave to set.

It smells amazeing.

An here it is all set. It took 2 hours in total.

The salt is throughout the bar which I wanted.

You can wrap this in clingfilm or use straightway.

The question dose it work.

Just because i made it myself i won't lie. Promise!

Wow.

I used it in the bath all my skin is really soft.

The smell is amazeing an lasts on my skin.

My face feels smooth.

I never usely use soap on my face, as I have sensitive skin but this is a treat.

I have used half the bar.

& need to make more for myself.

Smells gorgeous.



Hope you all enjoyed reading this soap exfoliating recipe.

Just in time for spring.
