Do It Yourself:  Aftershave Balm

Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the men in our lives who have guided, protected, and loved us unconditionally. It’s a day to express our gratitude and appreciation. However, finding a gift that is meaningful, practical, and tailor-made to suit their preferences can be challenging.

This year, why not offer a gift made with love and thoughtfulness? We present you with a homemade skincare item that your dad, or any significant man in your life, will surely appreciate: a DIY Aftershave Balm.

Handcrafted with natural ingredients, this aftershave balm is designed to soothe and rejuvenate the skin post-shave. Infused with the rich, moisturizing properties of Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil, it leaves the skin feeling smooth and supple. Aloe Vera Gel helps soothe any razor burn or irritation, and a touch of your dad’s favorite essential oil adds a refreshing, personalized scent.

Making this DIY Aftershave Balm not only gives you the opportunity to create a gift that fits your dad’s skincare needs and preferences, but it also adds the invaluable ingredient of your affection and care.

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and let’s start crafting this thoughtful Father’s Day gift!

  1. 1/2 cup Shea Butter
  2. 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
  3. 1/4 cup Sweet Almond Oil
  4. 10 drops of your dad’s favorite essential oil (e.g., cedarwood for a woodsy scent, or peppermint for a fresh, invigorating scent)

Peppermint Essential Oil

Price range: €17,00 through €62,00

Instructions

  1. Start by melting the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax together. You can do this by putting the ingredients into a heat-safe bowl and then placing that bowl over a pot of boiling water (a.k.a. a double boiler). Stir the ingredients gently until they are fully melted and combined.

  2. Once everything is melted and mixed, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. Add the sweet almond oil into the mixture. Stir it well.

  4. Now, add the essential oils. The amount can be adjusted to preference, but around 10 drops should give a noticeable but not overpowering fragrance.

  5. Add in the aloe vera gel. This ingredient is excellent for soothing the skin post-shave.

  6. Mix all of the ingredients together until they’re well incorporated.

  7. Let the mixture cool. As it cools, it should start to solidify. If you want a creamier texture, you can whip the balm with a hand mixer while it’s cooling.

  8. Once the balm has cooled down and achieved the desired consistency, transfer it to a clean jar or container.

 

And there you have it, a homemade aftershave balm that’s perfect for a Father’s Day gift. You can pair it with a nice shaving brush for a complete shaving gift set. Remember to store the balm in a cool, dry place for best results. Enjoy the process of making this DIY skincare product!
