Save money and keep the chemicals off of your skin and out of our water supply, by making your own shave gel! The aloe vera gel used in this recipe acts as a natural moisturizer and helps to hydrate the skin. I used grapeseed oil because it too is very moisturizing, full of vitamins and minerals, and is mildly astringent helping to tone and tighten skin. Grapefruit essential oil is used because it is not only full of antioxidants, but it is also great for supporting the lymphatic system. For the castile soap, I use Dr. Bronner's. This stuff can be used for most anything and is certified organic. Once you have the supplies, making your own shave gel will take little time and effort.
