Have you ever wondered, does it even matter how much cologne I put on, nhow much lotion I use, and is aftershave even necessary?
Well, you're not alone! Like many of you, I used to think these same questions among a host of other questions while I was either getting ready or out shopping for a new fragrance or new lotion.
Now, the first thing we're going to talk about today is aftershave. What does it even do? Now, when you shave, your enlarged pores are now being exposed to bacteria. Aftershave helps clear out that bacteria from your pores. Instead of using after shave, there are actually other options you might be able to use. One of those options is called a Witch Hazel. If you're anything like me, you probably just thought that it is a creepy name but I promise you, it's got some great benefits. Now, witch hazel, unlike its other alcohol-based aftershave counterparts, does not contain ingredients that are going to help irritate the skin but it still helps to tighten the skin and close the pores.
Now, the next topic we're going to be discussing is the lotion. What is lotion? Well, by definition, it is a thick liquid preparation designed to be used for medicinal or cosmetic purposes onto the skin. Now, one of the most popular ingredients you'll find in many different lotions is called shea butter. Shea butter is a great moisturizing agent. Now, when should you use lotion? If you grew up in a household like mine, you're probably almost told to bathe in lotion. Now, it's best to use lotion right after you're finished bathing but it's also nice to reapply it to rough areas throughout the day when needed, like your hands, elbows, knees, or your heels.
Now, the next thing we're going to be discussing is cologne. What is it?
Well, by definition, cologne is actually called toilet water, however, don't let that phrase scare you away from finding a great smelling fragrance. Liquid based cologne is a very popular option that you'll see in a lot of different stores when you're shopping for fragrances. However, liquid is not the only form in which you can actually buy cologne. A solid wax based cologne is also a very strong option to use. Solid cologne is actually quite portable and some may argue that the added benefits of moisturization and the longevity of the fragrance make it actually a stronger option to use. Now, if you are choosing to use a liquid cologne, remember, when spraying, less is more.
How to best layer:
Now, while in the shower, use a facial cleanser. Proceed to shave your face, apply your aftershave, then apply a toner, your SPF, and then your moisturizer or facial lotion then apply a body lotion. After completely moisturizing your body, then you can apply your Cologne to your pulse points. Just remember, with fragrance, less is more. If you're aiming for a longer lasting and stronger scent, go ahead and buy a perfume which contains around 25% oil concentration versus cologne at around 3 percent concentration. Remember, aftershave is your friend. Go ahead and apply your aftershave. If you have sensitive skin, try witch hazel, instead, as opposed to other alcohol-based alternatives. Use lotion, especially in rough areas like hands, knees, elbows, and heels. Try out this layering plan and please let us know how you like it.
