DIY: Uni-sex aftershave

Even though it smells lovely, the initial association my brain makes with aftershave is this: 

However, despite my early-90's pop-cultural associations, aftershave is used because it does do good things for the skin. Used after shaving, the appropriately named "aftershave" usually includes the following ingredients: 

• Anti-inflammatories to soothe irritations
• Antiseptics to sterilize any nicks or cuts, and prevent razor-burn (Alcohol is sometimes used for this, which is what causes the stinging sensation that Kevin's face exemplifies above.)

Typically used by men for their faces, aftershave is also a great addition to a female's beauty routine, as all of the benefits can also be  reaped when shaving legs, underarms, or the bikini area.

Aftershaves are a dime a dozen at the drug-store, but if you have the following ingredients on hand, you can easily whip up your own DIY, Unisex Aftershave.

• 1TBSP Dark Rum (alcohol kills bacteria and germs)
• 1 TBSP Aloe-Vera Juice (soothes the skin)
• 3 TBSP Witch Hazel (extra germ killing)
• 2 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar  (prevents in-grown hairs)

Mix ingredients together, and apply to skin with a cotton ball. Whether applied to his face, or your legs, the skin will be left silky smooth with nary a chance of razor-burn or dreaded in-grown.
