For the 12th year in a row, the mustache has been the trademark of November or, better, movembra, as we have been calling it since 2004. Today is the 1st of n(m)ovember and we will soon meet an increased number of men on the streets who are a sign of solidarity ( the purpose of doing this is to raise public awareness about prostate and testicular cancer) let the mustache grow. And in order for mustaches and beards to remain so beautiful and well-groomed throughout the month, they will have to be taken care of as best as possible. We have prepared some tips that will be helpful in caring for your beard and mustache this November as well.
Tips for a well-groomed mustache and beard:
Homemade mustache and beard oil
Since we know that unkempt and 'spiky' beards are not exactly the most attractive, mustaches and beards must be cared for, and thus some oil should also be applied to them. For homemade oil, you need three drops of tea tree oil, two or three drops of eucalyptus essential oil and sweet almond oil. Mix and pour into a dosing bottle. You can also use the oil on your hair.

Homemade shaving soap
For a natural and nourishing shaving soap, you need olive oil, ordinary soap, honey, shea butter, baking soda and a few drops of vitamin E. Melt the shea butter and oil in a pan, cool and add the rest of the ingredients. Store in a cool, airtight container.
