Rose Petal Homemade Soap
Provided by: alillicreation.com
Rose Petal Soaps are wonderful for the bathroom or to keep by the kitchen sink. Just wash your hands with one, then throw it away. And they are very easy to make.
Buy silk rose petals (the kind used at weddings), or you can buy them on the stem and clip them off the stem.
Melt about 1/2 cup of clear glycerin soap base. When melted, add whatever scent you have on hand (approximately 20 drops or until you achieve the desired fragrance. I like to use a Rose Garden fragrance.
Using a pair of tweezers, dip rose petals in the melted glycerin soap. Dip one at a time, shaking off the excess soap, and place the petal on waxed paper to dry. As they start to dry, gently turn them over to keep them from getting a glob of soap underneath them.
If you clip the petals from a stem, then the leaves can be used also. There are so many colorful rose petals from which to choose.
And don't forget, they make great gifts when packaged in apothecary jars or placed in cello bags and tied with a pretty ribbon.
Good Luck and enjoy!

Soap is the oldest cleanser around. It is created by a chemical reaction between oils, water and lye. Although lye is used to make soap there is no lye left after saponification (the chemical reaction that makes soap) is complete. There is no such thing as a bar of soap that was made without the use of lye. Different kinds of soap are made using a variety of different oils. Both animal & plant oils can be used in the soap making process, each adding different qualities to the soap.
I love to make homemade shower gel for friends and family.
I usually add it to a bath gift basket with the recipe attached so they can make their own when what I gave them runs out.
Have fun and experiment with different fragrances and decorative bottles you can put the shower gel in.
When it comes to taking care of your skin you can't be too careful. You of course want to wash your face but you want to make sure you do it gently to help to keep it looking great.
