Why should you start using Homemade Tea Tee Oil Shaving Cream?

Shaving creams are definitely one of the most diverse products out there in the market and they are sold in the form of cream, foam, gel, and soap. But we don’t know the true impact of using canned shaving cream on the skin. Canned shaving cream contains multiple ingredients and chemicals that can be damaging to the skin after habitual use.  Here are some of the reasons why you shouldn’t use shaving cream available in the market:

• It contains Propylene Glycol which is a derivative of petroleum. This chemical compound makes the layers beneath the skin dry and strips away your skins essential oils.
• It has Mineral Oil which also comes from petroleum and it is added to protect our skin from dryness but instead of providing the skin with nutrients like other oils, mineral oil actually blocks the skin pores and inhibits them from releasing toxins. It has also been shown to encourage premature aging.
• It dehydrates the skin which ultimately leads to skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps.
