DIY Bodywash- Pinterest Project

First off- Merry Christmas! ( yes I know its still 48 hours away) I wanted to wish my new fans a very Merry Christmas. Not a Happy Holiday. Sorry, not that kinda girl here ;)

Ok so onto the fun part. My DIY adventure into making my own body wash. Here is the original Pinterest Link - DIY Bodywash that i went off of when doing this little task.

I have to say, that whoever originally pinned this, must have had some magic on their side, because I followed it to a T and still came out runny. I had to let mine sit for about 24 hours in the bottle before it became body wash, and not body milk. Works great now.

Also, the original pinner said to use 2 cups of water and half a bar. Um yeah no.

Here's what I used to make it :

2 Cups of water and 1 full bar

This filled up one of those disposable ketchup/mustard bottles perfectly.

I grated and chunked my bar soap up first. Then put it all on my stove in a pan. I used a candy thermometer to get it up to 190 degrees which seemed to be the trick it making it thicker. I then had a milk like substance, very very thin, so i just poured it in the bottle and waited. After 24 hours and a good shake, its now pretty decent in the consistency of actual body wash. 

Here's my finished project 

I just used a regular bar of Olay soap. I had gotten some for .27 cents for 2 bars with some coupons I had and figured why not try it out. My advice? Play with the recipe and see what works best. Im glad i added the extra soap !
