On the shelves you can find lotions, shampoos, soaps and gels that can satisfy any whim. But you can make the best hygiene products with your own hands. After all, when selecting components for making soap or gel, you need to take into account the features of your skin. With your own hands you can make a natural product, the price will be affordable and there will be nothing superfluous. It can be a wonderful gift for mom, girlfriend, sister. The word soap or gel, which are made by themselves, have many advantages.
Many "newcomers" who first take up the manufacture of hygiene products, make a solid soap. But it's better to start with a liquid soap or with a shower gel. This is much simpler. But when you like to make a liquid soap, then the next stage will be a solid soap.

Soapy soap
This is the simplest option. This soap perfectly moisturizes and cleanses the skin.

To make liquid soap you will need:

• a piece of baby soap;
• 1 tablespoon of glycerin;
• a few drops of essential oil;
• melissa, mint or dry chamomile.

We'll start making soap by preparing a herbal decoction. To do this, we fill 10 tablespoons of dry grass with purified water and bring it to a boil over low heat. We give two minutes to leave the broth and leave it to infuse for half an hour.

After that, the broth is sieved through a sieve, then we dilute the resulting broth with liquid to make 10 glasses of diluted broth. While the broth is preparing, we will rub the soap on a large grater. We take baby soap without additives. It will take a glass of soap flakes. In a saucepan of suitable size, let the prepared decoction be cooked, soap flakes and put on fire.

Stir until until the soap is completely dissolved. This will take a few minutes. If the mixture looks liquid, do not be embarrassed, it will thicken for two hours. Let the mixture cool, remove the foam from the surface and introduce glycerol. All thoroughly mixed. If the composition contains essential oils, add a few drops to the liquid soap. Liquid soap is ready. You can add a little food coloring to the finished product. We will pour soap into a bottle from under shampoo or in a convenient jar. The remaining soap will be poured into a glass jar or plastic container.

The second version of liquid soap
Economical version of liquid soap from remnants, almost without costs.

Ingredients

• a glass of remnants of soap;
• 1 tablespoon of glycerin;
• mint (or replace with vanillin) or dried chamomile.

The preparation of this soap, it seems, with the previous recipe. The difference is that this recipe does not take a whole bar of soap. Large remnants are easier to grate. Minor remnants add them to a suitable container, fill with hot water and leave for two days. Then add the decoction of the herb as needed, and heat until the soap is completely dissolved. You can replace the broth with water, in which vanillin was dissolved. To a soap base, which has cooled, add glycerin. Thoroughly mix and pour the resulting liquid soap into a suitable container.

Shower gel
Of great importance here is the basis, but if there is no opportunity to buy it in a specialized store, do not despair, we will prepare the gel from the available ingredients.

Ingredients for Shower Gel

• 100 g of baby soap or replace it with a baby shampoo that does not have a smell;
• 100 g of distilled water;
• 1 tablespoon of glycerin;
• 10 ml of lime juice, a few drops of lime oil (or lemon oil and lemon juice).

If for a basis we take a firm soap, we will rub it on a large grater and we will flood with water. We take more water to get a liquid consistency. On the steam bath we will melt the soap shavings. We stir to a homogeneous state. If we use a shampoo, dilute it with a given amount of water.

When the base cools down, add the juice and citrus oil, glycerin. All well mixed. If you want, we'll add a little food color yellow. Then the gel will have a more presentable look and is suitable for a gift. We stir the ingredients and pour into the jars this refreshing and fragrant gel.

Body Scrub
To prepare the scrub, we take as a basis the recipe for the shower gel, just add the ground coffee. This scrub will moisturize and refresh the skin, cleanse the pores.

Liquid soap and gels of home production in the matter of additives allow improvisation. Additives for cleaning the pores, herbal tea, essential oils and oils, choosing the same ingredients, we focus on the skin features and to your taste. Do not forget the main thing - you need to know the measure.
