The DIY shaving cream recipe has natural ingredients, including shea butter, coconut oil, and essential oils.

WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL OILS

 

It’s okay if you aren’t entirely sure what essential oils are and their purpose – I didn’t either until 2016, however, I wish I knew about them 20 years ago!

 

 

Essential Oils are natural oils extracted from plants and trees. From Young Living’s Website: “Extracted through careful steam distillation, resin tapping, and cold pressing, the purest essential oils are far more powerful than the botanical from which they come.

 

Essential oils have enhanced lives for thousands of years, offering a variety of benefits from cosmetic and dietary purposes to spiritual and religious use.”

 

You can use essential oils topically, inhale them, or ingest them. When applied topically, the oils travel through your bloodstream and every cell in your body in about 20 minutes.

 

You can inhale essential oils by diffusing them or simply inhaling directly from the bottle. Some oils can be ingested by adding a few drops to beverages, food or in a capsule. I’ve personally experienced major positive health changes by ingesting essential oils after discovering I had an overactive thyroid and Graves Disease.

I personally don’t like spending the money on expensive razors and in the past have bought whatever was on sale. Well, not anymore! The cost of the razors from Roses Razors makes it a no-brainer to just order directly from them and have my razors delivered to my front door!

Want to try Roses Razors?

A box of these amazing razors starts at $11.99 and monthly subscription starts at $5.99 – and these are so much better than any razor found in your local drug store for the same price!

I tried Roses Razors with and without this DIY shaving cream, which left my legs silky smooth, no bumps, no razor burn, and no cuts! If you have a teen starting to shave, these are a perfect gift to give her so she has the best “first” experience shaving.

WHERE TO BUY ESSENTIAL OILS

 

I only use Young Living essential oils because of the quality and their method of distilling produce the best essential oils available on the market today. In fact, Young Living has a Seed to Seal guarantee that surpasses any other oil company’s guarantee of the quality and purity of their oils. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather pay a little more guaranteed quality oils than paying a little less for cheap oils that may or may not provide the same benefit.

 

Also, Do Not Buy Young Living Essential Oils from Amazon, eBay or other third-party sites.

 

The reason I only buy oils directly from Young Living is the same reason I wouldn’t buy a designer handbag from the back of a van on a street corner. It’s probably not the real thing or has been tampered with in some way. You wouldn’t want to apply or ingest an “oil” that someone put something strange in or receive a bottle of “water” instead of oil (trust me, this happens all the time!). Please don’t be the one that gets scammed by buying essential oils anywhere other than Young Living!

 

Now that that’s out of the way, here are few more facts & benefits that Young Living offers:

• YL offers many membership benefits, including monthly essential oils, rewards programs to earn FREE product
• Young Living is also the only essential oil company that is approved by the FDA with a special line of Vitality oils and products
• YL has 22+ years of experience and is the only oil company that owns their own farms
