Finally, a DIY natural recipe just for the men out there.
Just as the hair on our head enjoys conditioner, the hair on one's face deserves some love too.
Woodsy and moisturizing, this DIY Beard Refresher will leave your facial locks soft and nourished.
Get ready to be nuzzled and snuggled. Don't be surprised if you're suddenly the life of the party.
Here's What to Do:
You'll need-
1/4 cup shea butter
1/8 cup sweet almond oil
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
5 drops cedarwood essential oil
5 drops sandalwood essential oil
3 drops vetiver essential oil
In a double boiler or in a pyrex glass placed into a pan filled with about an inch of boiling water, melt the shea butter to a liquid.
Combine the liquid shea butter, the jojoba oil, the sweet almond oil, and the drops of essential oil into your container. Fasten the top and shake vigorously until well blended.
Refrigerate for twenty minutes until set then return to room temperature.
A pea sized amount, rubbed on the palms and then smoothed over a beard will make the skin beneath silky smooth and will condition and lightly scent even the grungiest of beards.
This formula also helps protect against ingrown hairs- BONUS!
