Thrift Thursday-- Homemade Foaming Hand-soap

Ingredients:

• A few pumps of regular non-creamy liquid soap (choose any kind you like, if you have sensitive skin, pick one with no scent or for sensitive skin, you can make a bottle of more costly liquid soap last longer by making foaming soap out of it. 
• Water (tap water is just fine)
• Empty foaming soap dispenser ( collect empty used bottles or look for great buys or lots of these on websites such as e-bay or soap and lotion wholesalers. You can make cute gift bottles for family, friends, teachers etc.
• First, pump enough soap into your dispenser to fill it about an inch high. 
• Second, fill the rest with water. 
• Put the cap on, give it a shake, and you are done!  It is that easy. 

I used an empty Method foam pump bottle for mine and decorated it to suit my taste or bathroom decor, the clear bottle makes it easy to add embellishments to the bottle.

Another recipe calls for adding some extra scent to your soaps, you can add a few drops of any essential oils if you feel comfortable and make your own special scents.
