Home Made After Shave

After Shave 1

1/4 cup witch hazel
1/2 cup distilled water
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup dried herbs or zest (lavender flowers, chamomile, rosemary, sage, or citrus zests)
and/or a few drops of your choice essential oils -- consider rosemary, lavender, sage, eucalyptus, cedar, juniper, cinnamon, or clove. Cedar and Sage makes a wonderful combination, according to our male members on staff.

Combine ingredients in a glass jar. Cover and place in a dark fairly cool place to steep. Shake the jar once or twice a day. Repeat this process for two to three weeks. Strain out the added products, and store the after shave in a spray bottle or other bottle.
