As temperatures rise, we shed layers, dress up in dresses, skirts or shorts and expose bare skin… Which for many of us also means shaving more often. And because we are convinced that it is possible to make a natural and gentle substitute for practically any cosmetic product, be it toothpaste or deodorant, we decided to take shaving products into the show!More information

Description

Protects, softens and nourishes

If you've ever tried to dry shave, we probably don't need to convince you that it's wise to always use a foam or cream intended for this purpose... After shaving "without anything", pimples often pop up on the skin, the skin remains irritated, dry, and is much more susceptible to injury and hair grows back more easily. Different shaving products work great against all this. They nourish the skin, hydrate it and create a protective layer between the skin and the razor. In addition, the hairs are raised, so you can then stick them closer to the skin and stay smooth for a longer time. Which is a strong enough reason to make your own homemade shaving product!

Simple homemade shaving foam

Made only from natural ingredients, ready in a moment, simple, but very effective and practical. That's what this shaving foam is, you mix it up once and you'll never want another!

What is needed for her?

- 3 spoons of aloe vera gel

- 3 spoons of castile soap

- 3 tablespoons of olive or almond oil

- 3 spoons of warm lavender water (or other favorite flower water, verbena or cistus is also great, but you can also use ordinary distilled water)

- A few drops of your favorite essential oil

- A few drops of vitamin E or grapefruit seed extract

- Foaming bottle

How to do it?

It couldn't be easier! Simply mix everything in a foaming bottle and shake well to mix all the ingredients. Also shake before each use.

TIP: In the summer, we do not recommend using citrus oils in the product, they are photosensitive, so they could cause a rash in sensitive individuals.

And if you'd rather pull hair than shave, try depilation with sugar paste, for example.
