There's nothing like a wonderful after-shave splash after shaving. After shaving, rinse everything with ice-cold water and then apply that super refreshing after shave. For a moment you feel the sting of the alcohol. Immediately afterwards the invigorating tingle. You can smell the scent of your after shave for a few minutes. After shaving, your skin feels reborn. Unfortunately, things sometimes go wrong or the after shave is used incorrectly.
What are the most common after shave blunders?
Below is a list of the most common after shave blunders:
- Do not use after shave after shaving if you have dry or sensitive skin. The alcohol in the after shave can irritate or dry out the freshly shaved skin. In this case it is much better to use an after shave balm .
- Accidentally spraying cologne on freshly shaved skin instead of after shave is not smart. The skin can be very irritated due to the high percentage of fragrance ingredients in a cologne .
- Using the same after shave every day becomes boring. You don't wear the same shirt every day, do you? Vary with different scents and after shaves.
- Don't use the aftershave that your partner or friend thinks smells wonderful but that you think stinks. Use an after shave that suits you in terms of scent. Ultimately you have to like it.
- Use an after shave that matches your shaving soap or cream in terms of scent. An after shave with menthol or eucalyptus goes well with your favorite mint shaving soap. Or an after shave with citrus comes into its own after shaving with a shaving cream with citrus scent. Things go wrong if the scents of the different shaving products don't match each other. For example, a Eucalyptus after shave does not match a shaving soap with a strong scent of wood and herbs. The various well-known shaving brands such as Acca Kappa , DR Harris , Geo F Trumper , Proraso , Saponificio Varesino and Truefitt and Hill have various very complete fragrance/product lines. The after shave products match the scent perfectly with the accompanying shaving soaps or shaving creams.
- If the smell of the after shave is completely different from that of the perfume , then that is of course a very bad combination. Make sure that your after shave scent matches your favorite perfume.
- Only use after shave on the face after shaving. Do not splash it on your body or under the armpits.
- Splashing an after shave on a shaving wound or severely damaged skin is a painful issue. In this case, after shaving, first rinse the skin with plenty of cold water and then use an alum block or alum marker to repair the wound. Wait a few minutes and then use your after shave if necessary.
