I always have plenty of soap in my home. I run a cleaning business for a living and I am constantly washing my hands throughout the day. This recipe makes my hands feel soft and clean, and you don’t have to worry about the harsh chemicals from store-bought commercial soaps.

What do you put on your skin? Would you prefer to use a product with all-natural ingredients, or store-bought products with toxic chemicals? That’s a no brainer! Keep in mind that our skin is like a sponge and it absorbs everything you put on your body. My skin is so sensitive, and this is one of the reasons why I like using certain “all-natural products” on my skin and I avoid using the chemicals as much as possible!.
