Sweet almond and green bean powder soap

Sweet almond oil is very good for sensitive and delicate skin, so it is commonly used in soap for babies. It does not just give moisture to skin, also soften our skin. It can help relieving itchiness especially dry weather in winter. Even oily skin can use it directly as well, it wouldn’t block pores. I love this oil. I think it is really hard to find a word to describe how moist of each oil is. We have to feel it ourselves because there are many degrees of moisture.

Most Chinese people don’t feel odd about green bean sweet soup. Green bean can detox and release “heat” (Chinese medical term) out of our body. When we have too much deep fried or barbecue foods which make our body very “hot”, we may have a bowl of green bean sweet soup. I know green bean is also good for washing pimply face, so putting it in soap is the best choice.

My skin is sensitive and has pimples easily, so I made this soap. This is the best one for washing my face among those previous soaps I had made. Face feels very fresh and clean, not sticky afterwards. Green bean powder was added into the soap after “trace”. This is the first time to put additive into soap, so didn’t have skill of how to put it nicely. I just poured it on top which turned out this funny look. But it was fun! :)

甜杏仁油十分適合敏感和柔嫩的肌膚，所以廣泛用在給嬰兒的手工皂裏。它除了滋潤肌膚外，還能軟化肌膚，甜杏仁油能夠止痕，尤其是冬季乾燥痕癢，就算是油性肌膚也可以直接使用，它不會阻塞毛孔。我很喜歡用甜杏仁油。我覺得很難用文字去形容每種油有如何滋潤，我們要親身去感受，因為有不同程度的滋潤度。

大部份中國人對綠荳沙都不會感到陌生，綠荳能夠解毒及清除身體的熱(中醫名詞)，當我們吃太多煎炸和燒烤的食物令身體太積熱的時候，我們可以吃一碗綠荳沙。我知道用綠荳去洗暗瘡的皮膚是很好的，所以將綠荳來做皂就最好不過了。

我的皮膚是比較敏感和容易長暗瘡，所以便做這款皂。這是我目前為止做那麼多皂中最好的一個用來洗臉，洗完後臉覺得很清爽和乾淨，完全不黏膩。我在皂“trace”後下綠荳粉，這是我第一次加入添加物在皂裏，所以沒有什麼技巧怎樣倒入，我只是純粹將它從上面倒入而出現這樣有趣的效果。頗有樂趣呀! :)
