And with the price of antiacne cleansers, it's very budget-friendly to make my own. I recently made the foaming hand soap with an old pump and some handsoap that I have from Avon. I haven't needed to add anything else since it foams nicely and it doesn't dry my hands out. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661210990952801978.post-68948619268691915782012-10-15T18:30:49.841-07:002012-10-15T18:30:49.841-07:00Just made this.

I guess it depends on your skin sensitivity.<br /><br />If the foamer stops working after a while, usually it is just clogged with soap, and taking it apart and soaking all the pieces in hot water and then rubbing them will fix it.<br /><br />This summer we got mildew in the undersides of the nozzles of our soap foamers. I took off the lids, set them upside down in a small bowl, and poured straight hydrogen peroxide on them. It bubbled off all the mildew and prevented it coming back.Becca @ The Earthlings Handbookhttp://articles.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661210990952801978.post-79099879268349073512012-09-29T15:28:18.680-07:002012-09-29T15:28:18.680-07:00Great idea!
