Making your own toiletries...

[Lulu]

Ummmm depends on what you want. I usually go to the pantry and rub handfuls of food on my face

[Rouge]

I want to know what people do who like making their own stuff

[Lulu]

Food ----> Face. Lemme know how the soap goes!

I need to make something to wash boytwin in, his eczema is awful, big red rough patches all over his chest shoulders and back. Can I have your soap recipe Rouge? Would it be kinder on his skin than something from the chemists?

not to highjack cai traveller try oats soaked in pantyhose! i use an oatmeal powder in the bath.

Cai whats the soap recipe? as in smells etc..?

[Lulu]

I second the oatmeal "teabag" - try a few drops of avocado oil in there as well.

The soap recipe I have uses Lux flakes or a Pure Soap bar grated. I'm not sure if that would be any better though, as even pure soap was a problem for DD when her eczema was bad as any soap will dry the skin out if it's prone to eczema.

No Smells, this recipe has oats and milk powder in it.

I'm making liquid soap tomorrow with lux, lavender oil and glycerine (and water).

Lucy I get the food to face thing but I'm after recipes, and tried and true stuff. I've found lots on blogs but it would be great to have people who do it and have done it to speak to if it fudges as it can happen sometimes.
