Our daily bath of each day would not be such a delicious and relaxing moment if it weren’t for the soap. More than an essential product for personal hygiene, the soap is far from being chosen like any other cleaning product. The market offers so many fragrance options, texture and other qualities that we all have our preferences.
Among so many characteristics of soaps, the shelves of the markets separate them into liquid soap and bar soap. Both have the same effectiveness and, often, the same fragrance. The choice at the time of purchase is personal, but it usually depends on the practicality that each format offers.
Liquid soap has some advantages over traditional bar soap. They are much more practical to be taken in the necessaire on trips. In addition, they are better for use in shared bathrooms, as they are stored in a soap box or container and have no direct contact with the person’s skin.
The disadvantage is that they cost more than bar soap. But we can circumvent this disadvantage in a very simple way: knowing how to make liquid soap from ingredients we already have at home, including the traditional bar soap.

How to make liquid soap for the face
There are still those who use the same body soap on their face, but that is a big mistake. The skin of the face is much more sensitive than that of the body and is even more exposed to the sun and pollution. Therefore, it tends to show signs of irritation, oiliness and sensitivity more easily.
The following recipe uses more natural ingredients and produces a soap that can be used on all types of facial skin. But nothing prevents it from being used on the body or on the hands too, as it has a very pleasant texture and a very special smell, due to the fennel. This in addition to being efficient in cleaning.
These are the necessary ingredients:
- Fennel tea (three tablespoons);
- Coconut soap;
- Liquid glycerin;
- Food dyes (optional)

- Bring the water to a boil and add 3 tablespoons of fennel to the tea;
- Chop a coconut soap into very small pieces;
- Strain the tea and place it in a large bowl;
- Add the soap to the mixture and let it melt for 5 minutes;
- Stir well and let cool for 4 hours;
- Put 1 tablespoon of glycerin, which will moisturize your hands and give the soap texture;
- Beat the mixture in a blender to give creaminess;
- If you want to give a color to the soap, use food coloring, which does not affect the skin;
- After the foam subsides, pour it into glasses or into the soap holder of your choice.
