6- Heat and melt the contents of the beaker in a bain-marie (hot water bath). A bain-marie is done by placing the beaker containing the glycerine soap and the oils in a larger pot of hot steaming water. This will gradually melt the contents. Avoid boiling.

While the soap and oils are melting in the bain-marie, we can prepare the remaining ingredients:

7- In a separate large bowl, put 50 grams (1.76 oz) of shea butter.

How to Use: DIY Solid Scrub Bar

a. Wet Your Skin:
Begin by wetting your skin in the shower or bath. The warm water helps open up your pores, preparing your skin for the scrub.

b. Gently Massage the Bar:
Take your DIY Solid Scrub Bar and gently massage it over your damp skin. The mild soap effect ensures a gentle cleanse, while the scrub components work their magic.

c. Focus on Problem Areas:
Pay extra attention to areas prone to dryness or roughness. The scrubbing action helps slough away dead skin cells, promoting a smoother texture.

d. Rinse Thoroughly:
Rinse your skin thoroughly with warm water, ensuring all scrub particles are washed away. The mild soap residue leaves your skin feeling fresh and cleansed.

e. Pat Dry:
Gently pat your skin dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing to let the nourishing oils and butters from the scrub bar absorb into your skin.

f. Apply Hydrating Moisturizer:
Immediately after patting dry, generously apply a nourishing moisturizer. Choose one with ingredients like shea butter or jojoba oil for optimal hydration.

Incorporate the post-scrub moisturizing step to enhance the benefits of your DIY Solid Scrub Bar. This dual-care routine ensures your skin stays pampered, glowing, and irresistibly soft.
