Q: Do I really need to use an Aftershave or can I just use Moisturizer?
A: The purpose of using an aftershave is to re-hydrate the skin once you've shaved, quite literally after the shave. This is because shaving can dry out the skin and cause it to feel tight and even a little prickly. A moisturizer will hydrate but it won’t help tighten the pores, protecting skin from exterior factors like dirt, pollution or acne-causing bacteria.
Q: Is Aftershave ok for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, because we use natural ingredients and no harmful additives which typically cause irritation and sensitivity.
Q: Are there other benefits to using Aftershave?
A: Yes, Aftershave calms and nourishes the skin, which helps reduce breakouts, razor burn, and razor bumps. “The goal of aftershave is to calm the skin down after a sharp blade has potentially microscopically scraped or injured it,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Flora Kim.
Q: Is Aftershave to be used after a wet-shave only, or also after an electric trimmer shave?
A: It should be used after a wet-shave or with a single or mutli-blade razor, an electric trimmer, or other electric shavers.
Q: Is Blu Atlas Aftershave scented or fragrance-free?
A: Our Aftershave comes in two distinct scents: Classic and Coconut-Apricot. Our classic scent is a combination of bergamot orange, clary sage, and patchouli. It is a mixture of citrus and earthy scents. Our coconut-apricot scent is a sweeter and lighter fruit-based scent composed of actual coconuts and apricots.
