Re: Men's after shave lotion

[Guest guest]

Hi Diane:

Aloe is great for an aftershave. It cools the skin and helps heal that darn

razor burn.

Look for the clear, not green-colored stuff at the drugstore. Dilute it a

bit with some distilled water or witch hazel. You can add fragrance if you

want but I prefer to leave mine unscented. Finally, a few drops of glycerin

adds a moisturizing touch...not too much, or it will be sticky.

Good luck! :-)

Hi Diane,

My fellow likes using a facial serum that I made up from Rosehip Oil,

Raspberry Seed Oil, and Pomegranate Oil. It doesn't have a cooling

effect like the aloe does, but his skin looks great!

Diane, an herbal distillate (also called hydrosol) is a good base

for an after shaving splash. It has a natural acidid pH which is

good for the skin. Spruce would be nice for men, or even calendula

or lemon balm. To that you can add a little aloe (5%) and glycerine

(3%) and a preservative. You could also add some spices like bay,

allspice and clove to imitate Bay Rum.
