How to Make Herbal Shower Gel

A gift set like this one could cost nearly one hundred dollars. Make your own herbal bath gel for a fraction of the cost--and it will be better for your skin as well!

Herbal shower gels are a great way to combine aromatherapy and skin therapy. Gels with lavender and chamomile can soothe sensitive skin that may have been damaged by processed soaps or sunburn. Other herbs can diminish age spots and even cure acne. In this article, we will discuss how to make an herbal shower gel in your own kitchen.

Things You'll Need

• 1 cup rose water
• 2 cups liquid vegetable based soap
• 30 drops lavender essential oil
• 30 drops chamomile essential oil
• Spoon
• Mixing bowl
• Clean plastic soap dispenser

Instructions

How to Make Herbal Shower Gel

1. 

   Combine the rose water and liquid vegetable based soap in a large mixing bowl. Stir them gently so that you do not make a lot of bubbles or foam.

2. Add the chamomile and lavender essential oils. These will make your bath gel smell wonderful and help heal dry and damaged skin. If you want the gel to smell stronger, add more of either oil.

3. Stir all the ingredients together. Continue to stir gently because agitating the mixture can cause the shower gel to foam.

4. Pour the bath gel into the soap dispenser. You can store your own customized bath gel in the shower and use a squirt whenever your skin needs to feel refreshed.
