Scratchy Soap

My cousin just came from Thailand to live with my family (he goes to college here in Los Angeles). He brought tons gifts including a great soap set. The soaps are infused with essential oils and other moisturizing ingredients. It also has a giant chunk of loofah in each one. The soaps are great, but the loofah's inside are extremely harsh on the skin. Using it everyday made my skin red and feel raw. I think I scrubbed off the first layer of skin, ouch! So, after a week of using it, I took the rest of the soaps and whipped out my trusty soap making kit. I melted the soaps, took out the loofahs, changed the colors, and poured the them into molds and let them set. An hour later, I had bars of soap without the harshness of scratchy loofahs. I'll stick to using my nylon exfoliating gloves two to three times per week with my new loofah free soaps.
