Step 1: Why Skin Care Routine Is Required ?
Of course you are beautiful the way you are, there is no questioning that. Skin care routine enhances your beauty by providing external care required for your skin caused due unexpected circumstances of climate and pollution. These are very simple to make and doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. By making your own skin care routine you'll have very good knowledge about what goes into your skin.
These are basic steps of daily skin care routine
1) Soap - Not exactly skincare routine, but more important part in cleansing your body
2) Moisturizer - Its can applied for face as well to body after bathing to keep your skin hydrated
3) Lip care routine posted in detail in another instructable
4) Moisturizer in evening (Gel application)
5) Facial oil at night
6) Foot soak (can be done daily or alternate days also)
Step 2: 2 in 1 Soap
Ingredients
1) Coconut milk soap base - 400 g
2) Charcoal soap base - 400 g
3) Walnut shell granules - 1 Tbsp + as required as fill the bottom of soap base
4) Ubtan powder - 1 Tbsp
5) Lavendar Essential oil - 30 drops
Cut the charcoal and coconut milk soap base into small chunks
Step 3: Coconut Milk Soap Base
Put the walnut shell granules (coarse) in the silicone mold.
Using double boiler method melt your coconut milk soap base, all the chunks will melt down and become watery after few minutes
Step 4: Scrubbing Part
Once fully melted, add 1 tbsp of walnut shell granules to soap base and mix well
Step 5: Ohh.. That Smells Good
Take out of the heat, let it cool down for minute or two and add your essential oil of your choice - 15 drops stir and pour into mold.
Use rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol) as spray to pop the bubbles on the top
Step 6: Base Two
Use can use the same vessel and melt your charcoal base, once melted add ubtan powder(my choice, as it contains many herbs for glowing skin), after taking from heat add 15 drops of lavender essential oil. You can add your favorite additives like any fruit or vegetable powder , but it has to be a powder with no moisture content in it. Combine well
Step 7: Soap Is Ready
While your first layer is resting, it takes approx 45mins - 1 hour for it to harden. Pour your second layer and leave it for an hour or two. Once completely harden your 2 in 1 soap is ready
Any guess why i have used scrub on only one side, coz scrubbing should done twice a week to remove the dead cells away and improves blood circulation. The other side of the soap without is to be used for daily cleansing.
