Waxing is a chore... so I confess that I I often shave my legs :-)
Not only does it go faster and it hurts less, but it's also cheaper!
To shave my legs, before I used a commercial gel like Gillette Venus.
But I quickly realized that it's full of synthetic chemicals and perfumes. A horror!
Fortunately, I found a recipe for super effective and 100% natural shaving gel.
Don't worry, this shave gel is super easy to make and really cheap. Watch:
- 50 ml of liquid soap (Alep or Marseille type)
- 50 ml sweet almond oil
- airtight glass jar
- kitchen whisk
- a few drops of lavender essential oil
1. Mix soap and oils.
2. Stir gently, but constantly so that the two products mix well.
3. Add a few drops of essential oil if desired.
4. Mix with a whisk until you obtain a gel texture, and so that the mixture is well homogeneous.
5. Then, put everything in a disinfected glass jar that closes hermetically.
And There you go ! Your 100% natural homemade shaving gel is already ready :-)
Easy, natural and economical, right?
To apply, first wet your skin, then put some product on the skin.
Then all that remains is to rub in to lather and shave.
Its gel texture will facilitate the passage of the razor. And all this without toxic products.
In addition, it makes very soft legs! You will love using it.
If you are used to an even more "gel" texture, you can add cornstarch to thicken the mixture.
Always shave in the direction of the hair to avoid ingrown hairs.
This homemade shaving gel can be kept in the airtight jar placed in the fridge for several months.
To keep it clean, avoid putting your fingers in it, but take the gel with a wooden spatula.
Sweet almond oil makes the razor glide, which prevents microcuts.
In addition, it nourishes the epidermis of the skin to prevent the skin from becoming dry.
Lavender essential oil is soothing and will calm razor burn. It is also healing in case of microcuts.
As for the soap, it foams and lets you know where you are going while shaving.
