Aftershave: The Final Touch for a Perfect Shave
You're standing in front of your bathroom mirror, having completed your regular (or daily) shave, feeling satisfied with the results. But as you run your hand over your face, you notice the skin feels rough, and upon closer inspection, there are some red spots! This happens because you're not using aftershave, a lotion designed specifically to be applied on the face after shaving to soothe razor-irritated skin. Applying men's aftershave means finishing your shave with the perfect final touch. For your freshly shaved face, choose the best! Opt for a luxury or niche aftershave: these products stand out for their high-quality ingredients, offering both effective and gentle care for your skin. Among our aftershaves, you'll also find some fragranced options. Infused with the finest men's eau de parfum and eau de toilette, they leave an energizing and captivating scent on your skin! Remember, in the 50 ml catalog, you'll find men's aftershaves from top brands like Marinella, Aesop and many more. Use the filters available on our website to find the right product for you and rediscover the pleasure of shaving with quality products.
What Is Aftershave For?
It's true that depending on the active ingredients in their formulas, aftershaves can serve different purposes: more hydrating, more soothing, more toning, and so on. However, the fundamental goal remains this: aftershave is designed to soothe the skin and restore its natural balance after shaving, preventing redness, irritation, and razor burn. It often contains disinfectant and astringent ingredients that help reduce inflammation from minor shaving cuts and prevent follicle irritation. Specifically, typical aftershaves contain ingredients like isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol. These are similar to those found in hand sanitizers and kill bacteria and toxins on your face after shaving. However, alcohol-based aftershaves can be harsh on sensitive skin: in such cases, it's better to opt for a gentle and alcohol-free product. Given its many benefits, you can even use aftershave without shaving to give your face a refreshing toning boost whenever you feel the need.
How to Use After Shave?
Let's start by saying that, unlike shaving products, aftershave is not mandatory. Nonetheless, it's a very useful product for those who shave daily. Here's how to use it correctly:
- Complete your shave. Use all the necessary products to remove or trim your beard and mustache.
- Rinse thoroughly. Remove all traces of shaving foam or cream with cold water.
- Pat dry with a towel (preferably cotton). Do not rub the towel on your skin; instead, gently pat to avoid further irritation.
- Choose the right aftershave for you. You can opt for a cream, balm, gel aftershave, etc. (read the following section for more details!).
- Pour some aftershave into the palm of your hand. Rub the product between your palms (ensuring your hands are clean!) to distribute it evenly.
- Massage onto freshly shaved areas. Gently pat and massage the product onto the areas of your face where you've just shaved.
- Complete your men's skincare routine with your favorite skincare products.
Aftershave Cream, Aftershave Balm, and Other Types
Depending on their texture, active ingredients, and specific functions, different aftershaves come in various forms. From creams and balms to many other types of aftershave, choosing the right product for men can be more challenging than expected. Here are some tips to choose wisely:
- Aftershave Cream. Looking for an aftershave that's neither too rich nor too light? Choose the middle ground: not as rich as a balm but not as light as a gel. Aftershave cream is the ideal solution for those who want a hydrating and soothing post-shave lotion that leaves the skin soft but not heavy.
- Aftershave Balm. To combat dry or tight skin after shaving, choose an aftershave with a rich, dense, buttery texture like a balm: it will deeply nourish your face, leaving it smooth and velvety.
- Aftershave Gel. If you enjoy a fresh sensation on your face after shaving, go for an aftershave gel. Its gel-like texture leaves the skin refreshed and firm.
- Aftershave Toner. A liquid lotion to gently dab onto the face for toning and energizing the skin. A pleasure, especially in summer, to combat the heat effectively.
- Aftershave for Sensitive Skin. Skin prone to redness, cracking, or irritation from minimal external factors is particularly susceptible to such issues post-shave. For sensitive skin, aftershave is crucial to soothe and calm stressed skin. However, the product must be very gentle: choose a specific alcohol-free aftershave for sensitive skin to properly soothe your skin after shaving without causing additional unpleasant effects.
- Professional Men's Aftershave. Not just for barbers and hairstylists, professional aftershave is perfect for men who want a wow shave every day, even at home.
- Fragranced Aftershave. If fragrances are your passion, try a luxurious fragranced aftershave: its scent will complete your shave with a unique and inimitable touch of style.
