Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How is post-shave mist different from post-shave lotions and balms?

Post-shaving mist is soothing, light, refreshing, and alcohol-free, ideal for sensitive skin. Most aftershave lotions and balms contain fragrances and alcohol, which might dry out and damage the skin over a longer period.

2. Can I use post-shave mist daily?

Absolutely. You can use it after your shaving ritual or whenever you need a gentle pick-me-up for your skin.

3. Will the post-shave mist sting my skin?

No! It will not sting your skin but rather leave a soothing and cooling sensation without any irritation.
