DIY Ultra-Moisturizing Shaving Lotion
Say goodbye to razor burn with this ultra moisturizing homemade shave lotion. It is so easy to make and will leave your skin so soft and smooth!
I don't know about you, but my skin absolutely hates fall and winter.
So about this time of year I really have to start pampering my skin a little bit more by whipping up some homemade body butters, scrubs and lip balms and really work to nourish my skin.
One of the hardest things to do with dry, irritated skin is shave it, right?
But unless you are ok with not shaving for the fall and winter 🙂 a moisturizing shaving lotion or cream is a must.
Unfortunately there are a lot of nasty ingredients hiding in that popular brand of Barbasol Shaving Cream, including synthetic fragrance and propane!
Seriously people, propane in shaving cream?
So to avoid these lovely ingredients, how about a super simple and ultra-moisturizing shaving lotion?

Oh man...I need this. I always use soap.
I need to try this!
I make shaving soap and use a brush...the shave is much deeper. This would be perfect to add after!
Definitely trying this!
Sounds wonderful! I use soap like Linda.
This looks great! I love the essential oils you used.
Thanks so much for sharing with the Let's Get Real party.
This sounds so luxurious! I'll have to give it a try, thanks for sharing on the Homestead Blog Hop, I'm pinning!
I'm sorry. Andrea, what type of brush? A dry brush? Do you use your own shaving cream, then the brush, and suggest this recipe? Before or after shaving?
Question? Why the soap? Is it for glide or slickness?
It does improve the glide of the razor but you could try leaving it out if you prefer.
