Homemade Shower Jelly

5 Materials
It is almost impossible to walk by your favorite cosmetic or bath & body store and not be drawn into purchasing Shower Jellies. The are pretty in color, smell wonderful and you can almost imagine yourself having a mini spa day at home. I just can’t see myself paying expensive prices when I can make it at home for very little. I came up with this Easy Shower Jelly DIY Recipe



The basic ingredients. I always like a pretty picture





Combine the boiling water and the gelatin in a bowl with a whisk, until there are no lumps.





Add the body wash, and mix gently so as not to create a lot of bubbles. If your body wash isn’t dyed, you may add some soap colorant for color. I used a red body wash, and it turned out this pretty pink.





Remove your jellies from their mold after their time in the fridge. Keep your jellies in a cool, dry place, and avoid direct sunlight. I just keep mine in the fridge until I need them, but I’ve also stored them under the bathroom sink, or in a dark cabinet before without any issues.
