Paco Rabanne Invictus Aftershave Lotion 100 ml

Product Information

Aftershave splashes: Aftershave splash is probably what your dad’s dad (and his dad) used. Think of aftershave splashes as you would a toner. They’re more liquid in consistency than lotions and balms, and often contain astringent, disinfecting properties thanks to ingredients like witch hazel. Though they’re fresh and lightly scented, splashes are typically formulated with alcohol (which can irritate the skin and tighten up the pores), so be wary of using such products if you have dry, sensitive skin. Splashes are best used for those with oily skin, as they’re less likely to contribute to the grease (which lotions and balms may do) and instead tone the skin. Ultimately, if you’re a fan of that tingling sensation, a splash is for you. Coconut oil: Powered by its emollient-rich properties, coconut oil is an excellent skin hydrator—and perfect for lathering onto your skin after a sloppy shave that has resulted in razor burn. Some studies have shown it also has anti-inflammatory properties. Aftershave is meant to be used immediately post-shaving. No matter what formula type you’re using, make sure the area is clean and free of any hair remnants or oils. If you’re using a splash, wet your skin with cold water to close up your pores, pour some aftershave into the palms of your hands, and gently pat the formula into your skin. Or, if the product is in spray form, spray a few spritzes onto clean skin. Made from essential oils distilled from sandalwood, vetiver, and lavender, the scent of this aftershave balm is comfortingly warm and inviting. It’s also ultra-nourishing for your skin, and features organic Aloe Vera juice, witch hazel, and rose to leave your skin hydrated and cool. Recommended skin type: Sensitive | Notable ingredients: Vitamin E, chamomile, witch hazel extract | Formula: Creamy liquid

An extremely sensual surge follows: full-bodied tonka bean is supported by powerful vanilla. The perfect match between emphatic freshness and magnetic intensity. Strong and beguiling, nothing can stop it. Revealed: a new and extremely powerful fresh amber fragrance by Paco Rabanne. Rinse your razor frequently: To prevent buildup of hair and shaving cream on your razor, make sure you’re rinsing it between passes. Having product buildup on your razor will keep you from getting the closest shave possible, as the surface will be uneven. Also, the presence of excess product will make you more susceptible to missing certain areas on your face. Panthenol: An effective redness reducer, panthenol is a common aftershave ingredient that provides instant relief for razor burns and cuts. It’s also an excellent moisturizer.Aloe vera: By far, aloe vera is the best instant skin soother and works to cool the skin after a shave. It also features antiseptic, anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent burns, bumps and scrapes. Many lotion and balm formulas use aloe vera to ease any symptoms of razor burn, so finding a formula should be easy. They’re also formulated to encourage your skin tissues to regrow, which ultimately helps protect your skin and strengthen the barrier. Aftershaves can also be formulated with antibacterial ingredients so that if a cut does occur, bacteria won’t find its way inside and cause acne or further irritation. Finally, many people use aftershaves in place of their daily cologne because they impart a lingering scent that lasts all day. Generally, avoiding a bunch of synthetic ingredients and steering towards more natural, organic substances will prove far kinder to the skin. Cooling or warming? This Portuguese aftershave is retro in all the right ways. Masculine but refined, its fragrance features notes of oak moss—the word musgo is Portuguese for moss—which Zangrilli calls a “classic, old-school” scent, but in subtler doses than the stronger products in the Musgo Real line. It also includes Echinacea and witch hazel to soothe and soften your skin after shaving.

It’s made with sea kelp extract and algae to boost hydration and soothe razor-inflamed skin. But the whiskey-rubbed fragrance of this “splash” is what sets it apart. It does smell like whiskey, but in a way that’s understated and masculine—not like you just stepped out of a bar after a bender. It also lasts an absurdly long time; even with daily use, one 4-ounce bottle should last you at least six months. Here are seven aftershaves that you can wear with confidence, knowing each provides just the right amount of fragrance. Bonus: “Because aftershave products are so soothing to the skin, you can re-apply at lunch for added skin conditioning and to refresh your scent,” Zangrilli says. Owen & Fred You Dirty Dog Aftershave This alcohol-free soothing aftershave was recommended by six of the experts I talked to and more often than any other product. Dermatologist Tsippora Shainhouse says that people with sensitive skin should not only avoid alcohol-based formulas that can dry out their skin, but also stay away from fragrances and irritants like menthol and lemon oil, which can cause breakouts and redness. Dr. Erum Ilyas of Schweiger Dermatology Group gives Nivea’s Post Shave Balm top marks for its hydrating and soothing vitamin E. Dermatologists Bruce Robinson, Dr. Michele Green, and Dr. Shari Sperling, as well as barber Mansour Smaini of Epic Barber Shop in NYC, also like Nivea’s post-shave balm for its moisturizing formula that’s alcohol-free. Certain ingredients will produce different scents. So, when you’re choosing the best aftershave for men, following your nose is a good idea. This Paco Rabanne fragrance for men features two unique combinations for a long-lasting scent. At the outset, a surprisingly fresh boost: sharp lemon mingles with powerful incense.

Rinse with warm water: Use warm water (versus cold or scalding hot) to splash your skin, as this will help open up your pores and make for a better shave. Water that’s too cold will close your pores, while water that’s too hot could cause irritation and inflammation. Like most men’s grooming products, aftershave comes in an endless variety of container shapes and sizes. If a delivery attempt is made by Royal Mail and nobody is home to sign for the item, the driver will leave a card for you to arrange another delivery or collection from your local Royal Mail office. Clean your skin: The first step to a good shave that doesn’t involve razor burn is making sure you’re shaving clean skin. Whether you have a beard or stubble, use a mild cleanser to get rid of dirt, oil and grime sitting on your skin.

If you do get it right, though, you'll be treating the person on the receiving end to their new signature scent that will also serve as a treat to everyone around them. That's right: successfully gifting some of the best men's aftershaves (or eau de parfums and eau de colognes, for that matter) to your loved ones is practically an act of public service and more classy than a simple deodorant. Many even work well as a unisex fragrance too, making it a great gift for yourself too – * wink-wink*.Aftershaves are the holy grail of soothing inflammation, calming razor bumps and nourishing the skin after a shave. But the process of shaving can still pose some side effects if not done meticulously—you are dragging a sharp blade across your skin, after all. Aside from avoiding dry shaving (that is, shaving without the use of water, creams or lotions), the best way to prevent a razor burn is to nail down two things: your pre-shave process and a high-quality razor. Here’s how to prep your skin before a shave to prevent razor burn: When you’re choosing the best aftershave for men, you should think about whether you’d like it to cool or heat your face.
