Aftershave balm is a skincare product applied to the face after shaving. Its primary purpose is to soothe and moisturize the skin, reducing irritation and redness that can occur after shaving. Formulated with nourishing ingredients, it helps to hydrate the skin and promote healing. Typically, aftershave balms are thicker than traditional aftershaves, which often contain alcohol. This makes balms gentler on the skin, making them suitable for sensitive skin types. Many balms also include soothing agents like aloe vera or chamomile to enhance their calming effects.
