Have you seen your husband looking at you with misunderstanding while you prepare your homemade beauty recipes? I have seen mine…many times. I didn’t have a clue how to make him a “believer” till the moment when I “cooked” (this is what he says I am doing with my homemade beauty stuff) his first homemade shaving cream or, for the sake of precision – his first homemade shaving oil. And finally, he was hooked.
I am giving you this homemade shaving cream recipe as I think it may be a nice Valentine’s gift for a man (in case you haven’t thought of anything till now). It is easy, simple and can look really great, especially when you put the shaving oil in a nice glass bottle.
Homemade Shaving Cream – Oil Recipe
Ingredients & Directions:
- 5 – 6 parts oil of your choice to 1 part of aloe vera gel. Mix the ingredients and put the mixture in a glass bottle. Decorate and personalize your gift.
If you wonder what oil to choose, you can check this post on oil infusion, where I have given the properties and benefits of some of the most popular oils – jojoba, sunflower, olive, sweet almond, castor and sesame oils. You can also choose calendula oil, which calms the skin or the anti-aging avocado oil. In brief, choose the oil that is most suitable for the skin of your man.
On the other hand, the aloe vera gel will heal, nourish, regenerate and sooth the skin making it look more beautiful and healthy.
How to Use Your Homemade Shaving Cream – Oil?
Shake the bottle and pour a little from the mixture in your hand. Apply on the skin and shave.
Once ready, do not rinse out, but just clean the skin with a cloth. Thus the skin will benefit from the ingredients in your homemade shaving oil.
Tip: I use this homemade shaving oil for me too. I love it, because my skin is smooth and calm. I have no rashes or itchiness after shaving and what is most important – no parabens and other toxic chemicals on my skin.
If you try this homemade shaving oil recipe, I’ll be really happy to read your comments.
