Benefits of Handmade Soap and Recipes

Have You DIY Your Handmade Soap?

Have you heard of handmade soap? Traditional bar soap is not suitable for facial cleansing and dry skin type because they may cause dry skin. Handmade soap benefits our skin because of its skincare properties. I make handmade soap when I have time. They are also very good presents to my friends because every piece of them is unique!

Skincare Benefits of Handmade Soaps

Moisturizing
Handmade soaps have superior moisturizing properties compared to ordinary bar soaps because of their natural and unique production process. The glycerin content is completely separated in the production of ordinary bar soaps, while it is 100% retained in most of handmade soaps. Therefore, handmade soap is gentle and moisturizing to skin.

Deep Cleansing
Handmade soaps produce very fine and creamy foam which helps deep cleanse your facial pores. Most importantly, it causes no damage to epidermis as it cleanses.

Precious Natural Ingredients in Handmade Soaps

Most handmade soaps contain natural and precious ingredients such as olive oil, coconut oil and palm oil, which are high quality oil derived from plants. Some of them are even enriched with essential oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E. Besides, they do not contain preservative. Handmade soap is made through cold processes, therefore, vitamins and essential oil will not be damaged.

Handmade Soaps are Environmentally Friendly

Handmade soaps are very different from chemical cleansers and cleaners. They are decomposed by bacteria in water into water and carbon dioxide in around 24 hours. Therefore, they produce less pollution to the environment and ocean.

My Personal Review on Natural Handmade Soap from Gamila Secret

I really recommend the handmade soap from Gamila Secret because it is so natural. It really does miracles to skin. At first, I used it for my hands and body, but later I also tried it on my face. My skin becomes softer, clearer and brighter as the Gamila claims.It looks quite a small cube to me at the very fitst glance, but the soap can last for almost a year. Though it is quite pricy but it is just worth it.

It is made from vegetable oils such as olive oil, grape seed oil and sweet almond oil, etc. These ingredients are so natural, gentle and nourishing that they are suitable for all types of skin. The Original handmade soap contains no essential oil and is most suitable for sensitive skin, even those with skin problems. The handmade soaps from Gamila Secret have self-healing power and makes skin younger, suppler and healthier. They are suitable for care of face, hands and body.
