LOOFAH SOAP

(Submitted to Soap Wizards by Ela Heyn)

This is a great soap to use on your tired feet after a hard day at work! It's sooooo pretty, and the exfoliating action of the loofah does a great job of smoothing out calluses and rough spots on your feet. (It's probably a little too rough to use on faces and other delicate skin, though!)

MATERIALS:

• 1 Muffin pan
• 1 Loofah (make sure it's not so wide that the pieces won't fit inside the muffin pan cavities).
• Clear soap base (preferably molding base)
• Fragrance and colorant of your choice.

TECHNIQUE:

1. To begin, cut the loofah into slices that are thin enough to fit into your muffin pan cavities without extending past the top of the cavity. Put the slices into the cavities, and put tape or rubber bands lightly over the tops of the cavities to hold them there.

2. Prepare your soap base, color and scent it. Pour the soap base into the muffin pan cavities carefully. It should fill the loofah, and the loofah should remain neatly suspended in the middle of the clear soap base.

3. Let set up, then unmold, carefully pulling the rubber bands/tape away from the soaps before unmolding. Voila . . beautiful loofah slices suspended in a clear soap, ready to use!
