    Womens Soap

    I use alum and little bit camphor diluted in water to clean that part..it is anti septic,quick to prepare and safe..sometimes use neem water or dettol mixed in water.. Not sure bout vinegar or soda.

    Intentionally 'skin drying' soap.

    Thats so weird..everyone looks for a conditioning soap.. I think adding more % of coconut oil in a recepie with less superfat makes skin drying.
