Shaving is a daily test of skin strength, a cause of its irritation and sensitivity. But that’s not surprising: you see, a man makes an average of 100-150 movements with his razor while shaving, thereby traumatizing the epidermal protective layer.
Dermatologists say that shaving often worsens the skin’s barrier function and subjects it to constant stress.
What’s more, men’s skin has a low pH value, i.e. lowered acidity, making it more sensitive and susceptible to irritation. Therefore, the use of special cosmetic products after shaving should become part of every man’s skincare routine. Regenerating Aftershave Balm does not contain alcohol, so it doesn’t irritate or dry the skin. It contains sodium lactate, which is a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor.
Sodium lactate is the sodium salt of lactic acid:
- is the skin’s physiological moisturizer, whose composition is similar to the composition of natural moisturizing factors; therefore, sodium lactate actively compensates for moisture deficiency in the skin
- restores pH level to physiological normal value
- boasts antimicrobial activity
Purpose:
- Soothes the skin after shaving by eliminating irritation
- Maintains the normal moisture level in the skin, thereby preventing dehydration
- Normalizes pH level, enhances the skin’s protective properties
