I ll be the first person to tell you that I m v hesitant when it comes to slathering oil all over my face. But it wasn t until I started using sweet almond oil (a lightweight, vitamin-rich superhero in the skincare world) that I realized my face straight-up
needed one and looked waaaay better for it. I m talking dewier, smoother, and softer skin no clogged pores or breakouts included, thank you very much. Because unlike heavier oils (looking at you, coconut),
almond oil is known for its lightweight texture, meaning it s even safe for folks with sensitive or combination skin like me.
I know what you re probably thinking why would anyone want to make soap at home?
Especially when you can just run to the store and buy some body wash or bar soap.
Well, IMO, the coolest thing about making soap at home is that you re able to customize it most DIY soap recipes can be completely tailored to your specific needs. You have control over almost everything, including the fragrance, the color, and even the oils in the formula. This also means that you can leave anything out that doesn t fit your vibe.
Homemade soap is also a great option if your skin doesn t react well to the ingredients in conventional soap, or if you want to lather up with an all-natural formula. Down to try it yourself? I had a feeling. Keep reading for everything you need to know about making soap at home.
