It All Depends on the Season
or Does It?
The top 3 aftershaves fluctuate with the
seasons or at least it used to. During the warmer months the top 3
are lighter smelling with citrous notes and in the winter it is a
more woodsy scent that takes precedence according to the old way of
thinking about aftershave. Aftershave is a necessity if you shave
everyday it can calm the skin and keep it in great shape so while the
scent plays a role the quality of the aftershave overall plays a
larger role.
Shaving is a rough process that can cause razor
bumps, razor burn and general discomfort to the skin. Aftershave can
easily calm the skin and keep it feeling great!
Most designer scent lines for men include an
aftershave option so that you can layer the scent and calm the skin
but today aftershave has evolved into its own product category and no
longer piggy backs on the scent lines. It is important to know what
to look for in an aftershave to insure that you get a product that is
not only going to smell great but that is going to work wonders on
your skin as well.
What To Look For
You want an aftershave that has cooling
properties to refresh the skin but that also has moisturizing
properties to keep the skin supple and smooth. You want a rich
aftershave that will nourish the skin with moisturizers and essential
oils. Balms are a great choice when you are considering an aftershave
that can perform.
One of the top 3 aftershaves is PradaAftershave Balm. It is on the high end when it comes to cost but it
has everything you need in an aftershave like moisturizers and
essential oils that nourish the skin. It also contains the signature
Prada for Men scent. It is pricey and may be a bit out of your budget
so you may want to consider something that is less expensive but
still on the top 3 aftershaves list.
Nivea for Men Post Shave Balm is a good choice
if funds are tight and you want an aftershave that you can use in
every season because it is unscented. This is a moisturizing balm
that contains good for your skin Vitamin C. It is an affordable
option that can be layered with any cologne because it is unscented.
While there are plenty of great designer
choices you do not have to pay a lot to get a great aftershave.
Historically aftershave has gone hand and hand with scented colognes
but times are changing and many men are realizing the value of
aftershave no so much for the scent but for the healing properties to
their skin.
Dove for Men line offers an aftershave balm
that is unscented and works perfectly to heal the skin by calming it
and cooling it down after a close shave. The reason Dove for Men
makes the top 3 aftershaves list is because of its affordability and
the fact that it is a good product.
