How To Use
Wet the alum crystal, rub gently onto the shaved area, and then leave to dry on the face.
If you are applying a moisturizer or aftershave balm, splash water on the face after you have applied the alum, pat dry with a towel and then apply your aftershave balm or moisturizer.
History of the Alum
The alum is the original antiseptic aftershave, which contains mineral salts that were originally used by the ancient Egyptians more than four thousand years ago for its healing and antiseptic properties.
How does an Alum work?
The Alum salts stop bleeding by constricting blood vessels and tightening pores.
Storing the Alum
After use, clean the alum with water, dry it off and store in a dry place where air circulates. If you allow the Alun to remain moist or exposed to moisture, it will simply dissolve. Dry the alum before storing it in the case.
Sensitive Skin Sufferers Be Aware
If you have dry or sensitive skin then, we do not recommend using alum more than two or three times weekly as the minerals used are astringent which means that they draw moisture from the skin.
