I am thinking of what I can do with my leftover soaps and immediately came up with the idea of making a crochet soap saver. This soap saver is reusable and washable. It offers mild exfoliation and great lather. Also, help conserve soap. I added a mini face scrubbies. An easier way to exfoliate our face using an Eco-friendly tool.
