Today we are making our all-natural Honey
skin and when you pair it with honey for its natural cell rejuvenating properties
you have a combination that it not only smells great
but is great for you here's what you'll need to get started our new Honey Coco soap base,
two ounces of Blood Orange Essential Oil,
*Smells good*, two ounces of Turmeric Powder Dye,
a soap mold, today we're using our four cavity rectangle and a special ingredient, bubble wrap!
Okay, let's get started. Before you get started measure the inside of your soap
mold then take your bubble wrap and cut a piece the same size as your soap mold
these are going to be used after your soap has been poured to make a cute honeycomb texture.
Next, you're going to get started preparing your soap. You're going to take the soap and
cut it into chunks of four to six pieces so that you can microwave.
Once you've cut your soap it's time to microwave.
When microwaving your soap it's important to microwave in 30 second intervals
to avoid overheating. Usually your soap will melt within two to three minutes.
Now you're ready to add in your essential oils and your turmeric.
First, you're going to take your essential oil.
Right now we're going to be using .33 ounces for the eight blocks that we are going to
make. You're going to add that into your soap base and then next
we're going to add approximately two ounces measured out of turmeric powder dye
once you've added your ingredients you're going to start stirring, make sure that you
stir for a good one to two minutes to make sure that the ingredients are fully combined.
Once your ingredients have been fully combined it's time to pour your soap.
Gently pick up your pouring pitcher and begin pouring your soap.
Once your soap has been poured, then take your bubble wrap and gently press it into the top
surface of your soap. You want to make sure that the bubble wrap doesn't sink in super far,
but just gently rest on the top of your soap.
Now it's time to let your soap set once your soap has set completely which usually takes 6
to 10 hours you have a perfectly shaped soap bar that then you can use your gold mica and
dust it across the top to create this pretty gold shimmery effect, to do so you can use a small paint
brush and gently dip the paint brush into the mica powder and paint it on the outside of your soaps
