My cousin Michael Johnson took second place in the imperial beard category. Congratulations! Here is another shave related recipe for after shave. Enjoy!
Silky Aftershave
Adapted from Basics for the Home: Simple Solutions for Less Toxic Living
- 4 oz. witch hazel extract
- 2 oz. Everclear 190 proof
- 1 oz. vegetable glycerin
- 7 drops peppermint essential oil
- 2 drops tea tree oil
- 7 drops eucalyptus essential oil
- 1/2 oz. aloe vera gel (add 1/2 oz. more if skin is dry)
Combine all ingredients together in a glass jar, shake, and splash over skin. I plan to change up the essential oils, as the seasons change. Whenever possible I keep concoctions in either amber or cobalt glass, to keep the contents protected from light.
