Natural shaving cream recipe

October 20, 2009 by jessica neaves

Natural Shaving Cream from Essential Oil Recipes

This Natural Shaving Cream is great for both men and women. It is excellent for a man’s bristly beard as well as for the softer feminine hair on legs, underarms, bikini and Brazilian. The cucumber juice will soothe the skin, while the lavender and carrot essential oils will help with any razor nicks. Overall this natural shaving cream keeps the skin nicely moisturized, leaving the skin soft and smooth.

Ingredients

* 4 tablespoons almond oil
* 2 tablespoons avocado oil
* 1 cup cocoa butter
* 1 tablespoon cucumber juice
* 3 tablespoons witch hazel
* 3 drops Carrot oil
* 6 drops Lavender oil

Method
* Make the cucumber juice using a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, place half a peeled cucumber into a blender and mix well. Pour this into a jug through a fine sieve to remove any lumps. Set aside.
* Melt the cocoa butter in a glass pyrex jug placed into a small pan of simmering water.
* Once the cocoa butter has melted, remove from the heat and mix in the almond and avocado oils and the witch hazel.
* Stir this mixture well then add the cucumber juice, carrot and lavender oils and mix well again.
* Pour this mixture into a sterilized glass jar.
* Cover tightly and label the product, including the date.
* Shake the jar well before each use then stir with fingertips applying it to the skin ready for shaving.
* Please note, as this recipe contains fresh cucumber it will need to be stored in the refrigerator and should be kept no longer than 2 weeks.

How To Sew a Banner from felted wool sweaters

If you’re looking for a creative and sustainable craft project, look no further than the Upcycled Wool Felt Banner tutorial from Cucicucicoo. This DIY project is perfect for those who love working with fabric and want to give old sweaters a new life. It’s an easy way to make beautiful, eco-friendly decor while also recycling materials that would otherwise go to waste.

What I love most about this project is how customizable it is. Whether you’re using wool sweaters in soft neutrals or bold, vibrant colors, you can create a banner that perfectly suits your home decor or seasonal celebrations. The tutorial guides you step-by-step through turning old wool sweaters into felt, which is then used to make the banner pieces. It’s the ultimate upcycled project, giving you a chance to breathe new life into things you may have otherwise thrown out.

The process is easy to follow, and it doesn’t require a ton of supplies – just a few sweaters, scissors, a needle, and thread. Plus, this project doesn’t just make for beautiful home decor; it’s a wonderful activity for kids, especially when working with felt pieces.

This Upcycled Wool Felt Banner would be great for various occasions, such as fall, winter, or even holiday decor. You can hang it on the wall, drape it across your mantel, or add it to a wreath or as part of a festive display. It’s such a charming and thoughtful addition to any space.

I can’t recommend this tutorial enough for anyone looking to upcycle and make something beautiful out of old sweaters. It’s simple, creative, and so much fun to make!
