DIY Bubble Bars

I have been trying to remake at home the famous L*sh Bubble Bars, with similar ingredients but with few additions also! 😀

I have to admit that it wasn’t too easy: it was the first time I was using sodium lauroyl sulphoacetate (SLSA – a powder surfactant, which is the main ingredient of this recipe because it is the one which makes bubbles :D) and tartaric acid… plus I had problems with getting the right procedure… but I did it! 😀
Finally ended up with a recipe which left me satisfied and so here I am sharing it with you! 😉

For those of you who don’t know what a BUBBLE BAR is: it is essentially a solid bubble gel, if this makes any sense 😀 You have to make it into small crumbles inside of the tub while you are pouring water and tadaaa… few seconds and your tub will be full of foam and good perfume! 😉
Therefore, if you love foamy luxurious baths, keep reading 😀

How to formulate a Face Wash – with Recipe

Now that we have studied the theory of Surfactants (here and here) and we have the values of some of them… it is time to finally formulate! 😀

The recipe of today is for a very delicate Face Wash which helped me when I used to suffer of a mild but annoying and constant (meaning that my skin wasn’t covered in pimples completely but I did have a few all the time and this lasted over two years) form of acne. I should make a post about this! I used to be quite aggressive with my skin: I was scrubbing, using alcoholic toners, applying aggressive creams… but nothing was helping (on the contrary…).
Then one day I decided to give a break to my skin, I stopped scrubbing crazily, I stopped attacking my skin and I started concentrating on eating more healthy food and… TADAAA it did the trick 😀 I simply found out that all my skin needed was to be treated gently.
