Teach Soap

Does anyone care to share what she or he uses for face protection in order to prevent hot soap and/or lye from splashing us in the face?

The one I ordered recently from Amazon for $25 was terrible i threw it away it was uncomfortable and restricted my field of vision so I think it is time to invest in a nice one. Can anybody recommend me some face protection they love?

I just use regular old safety goggles. I use the goggles that cover the whole eye, not the glasses that have gaps on the side of the face. My dad is a chemist and swiped them from his work for me so I can't tell you where they got them. A lot of people seem to prefer the safety glasses.

I also sometimes use a face mask, the kind you can get from any drug store. The space where I used to make my soap wasn't well ventilated. I don't use the face mask anymore because my new space is much better ventilated.

Safety glasses here too.

I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they sure have some great ideas!

I bought chemistry class style goggles and a respirator. I already use the respirator for other crafts involving sprays and sealants. I'm so used to crafting with it I felt weird making soap without it. Even outside I can smell the lye when it first mixes. I'm rather conscious of splashes that go under glasses so I feel safer with the full protection the goggles provide. I've also got the long yellow gloves so I look like some silly version of Breaking Bad out on my deck with my buckets and scales.
