Instructions:

1. To make your own lemon soap you will need to collect lemon essential oil, lemon zest, half lemon sliced, 50 ml caustic soda, 150 ml water, 350 ml extra virgin olive oil and capsules Of vitamin E.

3. Now, you must gradually incorporate the caustic soda into the lemon infusion and mix until the ingredients are integrated. For this, we recommend that you use latex gloves and you are in a well ventilated space, because it is an aggressive product that can harm you.

4. Once the above ingredients have been mixed, discard them to cool. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil. If you wish you can use almond oil or even mix them. If your face is very oily, you can reduce the amount of oil and increase the water proportionally.

5. When the caustic soda mixture has cooled, add the hot olive oil little by little and stir well. You should move the lime soap dough until it begins to thicken and take consistency. To speed up this process you can beat it. When this happens, pour 10 drops of lemon essential oil. If you wish, you can make your own lemon oil by following these simple steps.

6. Now add the lemon zest to intensify the aroma, reserve a little to decorate, and one or two capsules of vitamin E. When the zest is completely mixed and the mixture is uniform, take a mold and pour it. Then, you can sprinkle over the top the excess grated and decorate, well, your lemon soap.

7. Once in the mold, you should let the homemade lemon soap rest for at least 15 days to harden and you can use it. After this time, check that it really is ready, demolish it and ready! As you can see, it is a very simple process that will allow you to make your own soap. Remember that if your skin is very fat you should reduce the amount of olive oil and increase the amount of water.
