I have always thought about buying some of the homemade soaps I see at craft fairs but haven't yet. I also have very bad sun damage and have had two bouts of Melanoma so it may be something to look into.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Wayne and Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707083374034910289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161788234467281852.post-46856578174717343682010-07-26T08:05:24.932-04:002010-07-26T08:05:24.932-04:00Carol K,
Don't hold me to the soap benefits. ...Carol K,<br />Don't hold me to the soap benefits. I think I have seen some changes, but haven't used it too long yet. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I don't think so.<br /><br />William and Mary,<br />There are many, many different soaps with lots of different ingredients. I've seen recipes for shaving soap (like people used to use 100 years ago) acne soap, and many others. When I first started using it, I thought it was drying my skin. I had to put lotion on immediately. After a while, it didn't seem to affect me that way. I don't know if it was because I changed soaps (with different ingredients) or was getting used to it. Then I thought, dry skin, maybe it's exfoliating? So whether it's good for sensitive skin, I think it would depend on the recipe. The ones I made had olive oil, coconut oil and Soybean oil. They are all good for your skin....so we'll see.<br /><br />There is a LOT of info on the internet on soap making. It's a big thing apparently.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161788234467281852.post-42693252353212307992010-07-25T22:40:55.011-04:002010-07-25T22:40:55.011-04:00I had never thought about making my own soap but I...I had never thought about making my own soap but I am very interested as well. I have a few places on my skin I would like to see disappear. I might just give this a try. Thanks<br />Love the pics of the baby bluebirds. I think you did an amazing job with those pics. They are so cute....and tiny.<br /><br />Mike & Gerri (happytrails)Happytrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604892750805362197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161788234467281852.post-7117715495589755122010-07-25T16:17:53.716-04:002010-07-25T16:17:53.716-04:00I love your baby bird pictures Karen!

I'll send you a bar when you get back to Florida. It'll be 6 weeks before it's ready anyway. I'm hoping it will eventually lighten/remove those freckles and sun spots. We'll see, in the meantime, I do like the soap anyway.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161788234467281852.post-58713404652277566372010-07-25T10:56:24.789-04:002010-07-25T10:56:24.789-04:00Thanks for posting the pictures, Karen.

As you said, there are some benefits.Carol Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428623116947826625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7161788234467281852.post-88342884156063837002010-07-25T09:31:12.406-04:002010-07-25T09:31:12.406-04:00Does all soap have lye in it?

I have those same raised sun spots - too much Florida and Tennessee sun. Being in the west has really dried out my skin. I may need to buy some of that homemade soap some day to try.Margie and Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778628815035344373noreply@blogger.com
