While waxing works, I prefer shaving my legs for its speed, less pain, and lower cost. Previously, I used commercial gels like Gillette Venus, but they’re packed with synthetic chemicals and fragrances—not ideal for skin health.
That’s why I created this effective, 100% natural homemade shaving gel recipe. It’s incredibly simple, affordable, and delivers professional results. Here’s how:
- 50 ml liquid soap (Alep or Marseille type)
- 50 ml sweet almond oil
- Airtight glass jar
- Kitchen whisk
- A few drops of lavender essential oil
1. Combine the soap and oils.
2. Stir gently but continuously until fully blended.
3. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil, if desired.
4. Whisk until it forms a smooth gel texture.
5. Transfer to a sterilized airtight glass jar.
Your 100% natural shaving gel is ready! It’s easy, natural, and economical.
Wet your skin, apply the gel, lather, and shave. The gel texture ensures smooth razor glide without toxins, leaving legs silky soft.
For a thicker gel, add cornstarch. Always shave in the direction of hair growth to prevent ingrowns.
Store in the fridge in its airtight jar for months. Use a wooden spatula to avoid contamination—no fingers!
Sweet almond oil lubricates for irritation-free gliding and nourishes skin to prevent dryness.
Lavender essential oil soothes razor burn and heals minor cuts.
Liquid soap creates foam for visibility and clean shaving.
