Teenage Acne Soap - This bar must sit and cure for at least 3 months before it is used.

Before you start, this soap will get HARD in the mold very quickly and needs to be cut 6-8 hours AFTER it is poured. Be sure to wear protective gloves while you unmold and cut because the lye will still be active.
