Best Aftershaves For Men – So, Would You Use An Aftershave:

By Philip Yiga | October 16, 2014

Most men normally get mixed opinions whenever they are asked if they would use an aftershave . Some acknowledge its importance but others think its not that necessary . However, aftershaves are very important and below i’m going to give you some 2-reasons as to why we would use them:

• Reduce Inflammation: The major reason is probably to protect the skin from inflammation or irritations which usually occur during occur during the shaving process. aftershaves normally contain an antiseptic agent that helps to prevent infections and even heals cuts hence you will always feel better after applying an aftershave.
• Calms Down a Sensitive Skin:- In most cases when you shave a sensitive skin, it gets irritated, if this is left unattended too, it triggers bumps. If you have used a razor to shave a very sensitive skin, apply any of these after shaves, they will heal or prevent any razor burns. On the other hand, if you want to use after shave on your pubic area, look out for a brand suitable for that area, for example you can use Tend Skin Care Solution, it’s good at preventing bumps and ingrown hair.

NOTE:

When you use a good electric shaver you may not need any aftershave at all. This is the reason as to why using of aftershaves is very common with men who use manual blades for shaving. However, if you have a great shaver that is kind to the skin and causes very little or no skin-irritation after shaving, then you may skip using an aftershave and i think this is the reason as to why many men today totally avoid using aftershave products. They only splash cold-water over their face after shaving in order to cool down the skin and to prevent inflammation. in fact, today some electric shavers like the Braun CoolTech shaver have been incorporated with Cooling-technology in order to regulate the temperature of this shaver while shaving and this really offers an excellent shaving experience for men with sensitive skin-types.

But still some men would get a better shaving experience if they use an aftershave and this because all people have different types of skin. On the other hand, men who have dry-skin always prefer using aftershaves which contain essential-oils in order to revive and moisturize the skin while those with good oily skin-types tend to go for aftershaves that contain alcohol because they reduce skin oils and even soothe the skin very well.

Aftershaves come in various forms like in form of a gel, cream, lotion, liquid, and even as a powder. this implies that it will not be that difficult to find or get a product of your choice. They are even available in different brands but it would best if you did some research before you buy an aftershave because we all have different types of skin so it would be best to first know which aftershave works great on your skin.

 

• PRORASO AFTERSHAVE:

”Proraso aftershave lotion is great product which is traditionally formulated with several fresh and natural ingredients which help in cooling and toning of the skin when you have finished shaving. This aftershave also contains witch-hazel an ingredient which fights rashes and razor-burns hence making it perfect for use on people with sensitive skin types. This anti-irritation aftershave even contains menthol which helps to refresh and revitalize your skin after shaving. Another great thing about PRORASO is that it does not contain parabens, silicones, mineral-oils or even artificial colors like some poor quality aftershaves on the market today, in that case, you can use to prevent bumps / ingrown hair on your pubic area”
