Soap Bar Hack

Cleaning is a must. While it’s good to wash your hands a lot during the day, overusing your bar of soap comes at a price since the residue builds up and it becomes a soapy mess. Let aluminum foil be an aide in this situation. A small strip of foil under the soap will keep the bar in shape and increase its duration. It will also absorb some harmful chemicals, making it gentler on the skin.

Random soap fact: Soap got its name from Mount Sapo in Rome. The word “sapo” is Latin for soap, which first appeared in Pliny the Elder’s Historia Naturalis. The first-ever soap was made by Babylonians around 2800 B.C. Early references to soap-making were for use in the textile industry and medicinally.
