Lemon Glow: How to Make Natural Bar Soaps at Home with Just a Lemon

Let the soap bars dry for a few days to harden more. Store them in a cool, dry place away from humidity. Use within 3–4 weeks for maximum freshness and scent.

Variations:

Add lemon zest or a few drops of essential oil for stronger fragrance.

Replace part of the water with chamomile tea for added skin benefits.

Mix in oatmeal for gentle exfoliation.

FAQ:

Can I use bottled lemon juice?
Fresh juice is preferred for better scent and natural benefits, but bottled juice works in a pinch.

Will this soap lather like commercial soap?
No, it won't produce heavy lather but will gently cleanse and refresh the skin.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, but test on a small patch first. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin due to the lemon's acidity.
