I've gathered some stuff from searching past threads, like what clays are best for what, but a lot of the information seems to differ and I have yet to find any recipe suggestions, but maybe I am missing something. So a few questions:
How much clay ppo do you like to use? When you use EOs for their properties (ie lavender and tea tree) do you use as much as you would to fragrance it or considerably less? What are you favorite oils for facial bars? How much do you like to superfat?
I want to make both an oily skin bar (me) and a dry skin bar (my husband). The biggest issue I find with most facial bars I have used in the past is they tend to be toooo drying, which I think could be counteracted with a good cleansing oil and a higher superfat, but I could be wrong. I want to each recipe fairly simple, as the more oils and additives, the more likely I am to forget something. I plan on using french green in the oily and kaolin (french white) in the dry. But I also want to hear what has worked for other people!
TIA!
