Von Sander - The Beardmen Aftershave: Most men have it in their bathroom cabinet. The product is specially designed for freshly shaved skin. Shaving can leave a burnt feeling and small sores. Because shaving also opens your skin’s pores more than usual, it’s important to disinfect your skin properly. Finally, aftershave has a pleasant scent that makes you feel fresh after use.
Soothing, disinfecting and refreshing: that’s how you can summarise the plus points of aftershave. The Beardmen lists the benefits for you. Do you shave regularly and don’t use aftershave? After reading this article, you’ll know it’s time to change that!
The difference between aftershave, perfume and eau de toilette
Before I go into more detail about the benefits of aftershave, I would like to explain the difference between eau de toilette and perfume. I’ll list it for you:
- Eau de Toilette: Eau de Toilette is a beautiful fragrance, but much lighter than perfume. You can use it well in everyday life. People often spray eau de toilette more than once.
- Eau de Parfum: The fragrances of Eau de Parfum are more concentrated, twice to four times as strong as those of Eau de Toilette. Therefore, this fragrance smells more intense and you smell it longer.
- Aftershave: has the lowest proportion of fragrances, namely a maximum of four percent. You use it after shaving. Aftershave smells like cologne, but only for a limited time.
1. Aftershave restores the skin
Did you know that shaving is quite exhausting for your skin? To help it recover as quickly as possible, use an aftershave. This closes the pores of your face. You prevent dirt from penetrating easily and thus reduce the risk of pimples, for example. The antiseptic ingredients of the aftershave help with this. The cooling substances in turn ensure that you suffer less from the annoying burning sensation.
How much damage shaving does to your skin depends mainly on the care you take, but also on the equipment you use. Therefore, choose the best razors, razor blades, trimmers and/or safety razors.
2. Aftershave smells good
Although aftershave can hardly be smelled after an hour or two, it is often still considered a kind of men’s perfume. Nevertheless, it gives you the desired freshness after shaving. You can also combine aftershave and perfume with the same scents to enhance the effect of both.
3. Hydration
Who doesn’t know the feeling of dry, tight skin after shaving? It’s because your moisture balance is temporarily disrupted. Moisturising is the solution. Aftershave also fulfils this function. The oils in aftershave moisturise. This way you can get rid of the unpleasant feeling and make sure your skin stays in good condition.
Start using aftershave
That you have to use aftershave is a misconception. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a good choice to do so. Thinking about whether to start? Ask in a shop about the possibilities and ways you can combine aftershave with your perfume.
