Unisex Aftershave

After shaving, the skin often feels irritated and tight. The homemade aftershave gives it the attention it needs after shaving and leaves behind a delicate, earthy fragrance. It can be mixed in no time at all and is easy to use in the practical spray bottle. The witch hazel water cleanses the pores and helps to close them with its astringent effect. Patchouli essential oil has a very soothing and relaxing effect. Cedar essential oil has an anti-inflammatory, invigorating effect and is often used in men's perfumes due to its woody, warm scent.
