There are iffy ingredients everywhere, from skincare to soap, lotions to laundry detergent. We\u2019re here to help you eliminate them from your life. On today\u2019s grooming agenda, let\u2019s talk about naturally derived essential oils you can use for aftershave, for a gentle and caring skin treat!<\/p>\n

Here are the 10 best essential oils you can use as part of your grooming ritual, as well as a DIY essential aftershave for a close, clean shave you\u2019ll use time and time again.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is aftershave?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aftershave does more than simply smell good. It is designed to help take care of sensitive, freshly shaved skin. An aftershave with good ingredients help soothe and moisturise skin for a hydrated and clean shave.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

YL tip:<\/h2>\n

Aftershave isn\u2019t only for faces. Apply it to your skin after shaving your legs, underarms, bikini area, and anywhere else you feel any post-shave sensitivity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best essential oils for aftershave<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

What essential oils are the best to use post-shaving? Here are 10 that we love for their moisturising and cleansing properties. It helps that they also smell amazing when you apply them to recently shaved skin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cypress essential oil\"\"<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sweet, woodsy scent of Cypress essential oil is a fresh morning wake-up. The aroma blends well with other essential oil scents such as Tea Tree, making it easy to create your own custom scent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blue Tansy<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Native to Morocco, Blue Tansy<\/a> has been used traditionally in luxurious, high-end skincare products. Blue Tansy has a complex floral scent that will give you an air of exotic adventure. It\u2019s also great for soothing skin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carrot Seed quintessential oil<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a scent that\u2019s sweet and earthy, Carrot Seed<\/a> oil is the perfect wingman for a night out\u2014whether you\u2019re looking for someone new or spending time with an old flame. Make date night extra-special with this fresh and nourishing oil.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cedarwood quintessential oil<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cedarwood<\/a> carries a warm, woodsy aroma that is used extensively in perfumery for a smoky masculine accent. It also helps to moisturise freshly shaved skin and provides a soothing sensation that\u2019s exactly what you need after a close shave.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eucalyptus Blue essential oil<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eucalyptus Blue gives off a calming and invigorating scent. When applied to the skin, it\u2019s cooling and soothing. Using Eucalyptus Blue<\/a> as an aftershave is a great way to feel spa fresh.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take note:<\/h2>\n

Using this oil after a hot shower can lead to a strong tingling sensation on the skin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frankincense essential oil<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frankincense is commonly referred to as \u201cliquid gold,\u201d and in ancient times this oil was a valuable commodity. Cleopatra was even believed to have added this oil to her beauty ritual. As well as adding it to your morning grooming routine you can use the rich oil during meditative practices. Traditionally used in spiritual practices, you may like to dab Frankincense<\/a> on your pulse points and neckline for more mindful moments.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

German Chamomile essential oil<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

German Chamomile essential oil<\/a> has a calming aroma that can be easily added into your favourite lotion for a subtle and soothing scent. Dilute with a carrier oil, applying onto your face for a caring post-shave ritual.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lavender essential oil<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

After you shave, use a few drops of Lavender essential oil, combining with Young Living V-6 \u00ae Enhanced Vegetable Oil Complex. Blend into skin for a hydrating addition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Patchouli essential oil<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Patchouli\u2019s warm scent allows is a perfect addition for when you\u2019re meditating. Apply this herby aroma on your skin for a harmonising and cooling scent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tea Tree essential oil<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tea Tree<\/a> is distilled from leaves, emitting a stimulating and invigorating aroma. For dry winter skin, this hydrating oil is a perfect choice to moisturise and soothe skin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What\u2019s in our aftershave?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Witch hazel: This all-natural astringent is a key ingredient in aftershave. It\u2019s soothing and moisturising for the gentlest of shaves.<\/p>\n

Sweet almond oil: This sweet, nutty aroma is a perfect addition. When enriched with softening vitamin E complex, it makes for a rich creamy finish.<\/p>\n

Vegetable glycerin: Vegetable glycerin is an incredibly popular ingredient in many beauty products\u2014and for good reason. Vegetable glycerin helps to moisturise the skin as well as bond other ingredients into a smooth blend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
