Why Honey and Turmeric?
Honey and turmeric are two amazing ingredients that work wonders for your skin:
- Honey: It’s a natural humectant that locks moisture into your skin. Honey is also antibacterial, helping to keep your skin clear and soft.
- Turmeric: Can reduce pesky dark spots and give your skin a natural glow. It also has anti-inflammatory benefits, making it great for soothing irritated skin.
These ingredients make the perfect combination for a soap that hydrates, brightens, and soothes your skin!
What You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make your own honey and turmeric soap:
- Soap Base: A melt-and-pour soap base like goat’s milk or glycerin works best (1/2 to 1 lb. based on the number of soap bars you desire).
- Honey: Raw or organic honey is ideal for its pure benefits.
- Turmeric Powder: Just a teaspoon is enough for this recipe.
- Essential Oil: Optional, but a few drops of lavender or orange essential oil add a lovely scent.
- Soap Mold: You can use silicone molds in any shape you like.
- Microwave-Safe Bowl: To melt the soap base.
- Mixing Spoon: Stir everything together.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Melt the Soap Base
Cut your soap base into little chunks and place it in a bowl safe for the microwave. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until the soap base melts.
2. Add Honey and Turmeric
Once melted, mix in one tablespoon of honey along with one teaspoon of turmeric powder. Mix thoroughly to evenly combine all the ingredients.
3. Add Essential Oils (Optional)
Add 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil to make your soap smell amazing. Lavender is calming, while orange adds a fresh, uplifting scent.
4. Pour into Molds
Carefully pour the mixture into your soap molds. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
5. Let It Set
Allow the soap to cool and harden for 2-4 hours. Once firm, pop the soap out of the molds.
