Surely, many of you are constantly confronted with the problem of choosing a shower gel. And looking at the endless range of these cleansers, you can not decide which gel is better. With seaweed, granules or with some incomprehensible thing floating in a jar. Although on the other hand, it seems all very simple, go and take the first one. But no. I want, and the smell was pleasant, and cleans well, and the price is acceptable. But it turns out the opposite. The aroma is divine, the jar is beautiful and the brand is untwisted, and the price bites, not everyone can afford such a product. And if the price suits, then the quality leaves much to be desired. And what should I do? But after all, you want to have not just a means for washing your skin, but a pleasantly smelling gel at an affordable price. And recently, I still found a way out. This is a shower gel with their own hands. Imagine, you will not only be able to make the gel to your liking, but you will also be sure that it is a product without any artificial additives.
So, how to make a home shower gel yourself?
The composition of the gel is extremely simple. As a basis for the gel, you can take any shampoo or gel. they contain substances that purify our body of dirt, dust and sweat. Excellent options can be a baby cream without any flavoring and coloring agents. In addition to the base in the gel are added sodium chloride, water and essential oil of your choice.
Recipe for shower gel:
- 200 g of base;
- mix with 300 g of water;
- one table spoon of salt, it is used for the density of the remedy;
- in the end, add 6 drops of essential oil.
You can do more if you want your shower gel to be more perfumed. Essential oils will also soften your skin.
They also have some specific features. For example: essential oil of orange gives a sense of vivacity and eliminates depression, bergamot - increases sociability, strengthens imagination and creative sides of thinking, essential oil of jasmine helps with insomnia. Also, if you wish, you can add glycerin, which perfectly softens the skin, and adding just a few drops of aloe juice you will get a moisturizing shower gel. You can use this shower gel as a bath foam. essential oils have an aromatherapy effect. After all the preparations, mix the product well.
If this method seems very simple to you or you would like to try something more original. There is also such a recipe, the main component of which is the shell of soap nuts. You can buy them in special shops of natural cosmetics at an affordable price. So, the shell must be placed in a cotton bag, and the bag itself in enameled dishes. Fill with water and boil for 15 minutes. Then we cool the pouch to 40 degrees, we take it in hand and remember the bag well, as if we were cracking the nuts in it.
The gel is best stored in a glass jar with darkened glass. So you will increase the shelf life. This will allow you to enjoy the scent longer.
As you can see, it's not so difficult, and the main thing in this gel you can be completely sure. You created it yourself, with all the preferences and wishes. It is only necessary to change the essential oils and you have another original, natural shower gel.
For sure there are a huge number of home gel recipes. These are just a few of the options that are the most optimal, affordable and inexpensive. Which in my opinion is also important. This gel can be not only a cleanser, but also an original gift for a birthday, Valentine's Day or New Year.
