DIY After Shave

Messages

So I was refilling a little 5ml spray bottle of rubbing alcohol which I keep in a first aid kit. Helps to sterilise bad cuts before dressing.

Then I realised I had some essential oils I bought years ago and had forgotten about...

One drop of peppermint oil & one drop of geranium oil later, and I had home-made after shave. Lovely fresh smell from the peppermint mixed in with a hint of parma violets from the geranium oil.

Doesn't seem to last too long though. There must be a secret to that.

Still, a cheap way to get your smell on.

You need a larger amount of essential oils, and you will need to dilute with distilled water, witch hazel, glycerin or castor oil.
