Sensitive, moi?
Advantages: Calms your skin, non-perfumed, alcohol-free, lasts ages Disadvantages: Not cheap
...our lead character stage left. Nivea for Men Aftershave Balm is an absolute joy, and a definitive must in my toiletry shopping. I've tried many substitutes over the years, all with varying degrees of success, but this is far and away the best
It comes in two different types, normal and sensitive, the latter of which is going to be my focus here.
So what is this great product? Well, quite simply it's a balm that you ... ...smell or perfume - what Nivea describe as "fragrance neutral." This is a major plus point for me, as it means I don't end up smelling like talcum powder or some really harsh cream throughout the day. I normally spray a bit of eau de toilette on afterwards, and I only need a bit as there is no smell to mask
The balm sinks into your face really quickly. After a quick slap on and a couple of seconds of rubbing it around your ... more
It's not really much fun having sensitive skin. In the summer it gets really dry from the heat and humidity - well if you can really call it that in this country! - and in the winter the excessive central heating we all use makes it even worse
Moisturisers to combat daily "wear and tear" are all well and good, but by far the worst thing we can do to our skin is shave it. Okay, so we don't all want to grow beards and 'taches, so there's not really a viable alternative. (although I do enjoy having a bit of facial hair to stroke and seem intelligent from time to time....)
So for most guys, a shave every day or so is what we're stuck with for pretty much the rest of our lives. And seeing as how we're going to be doing this for so long, we may as well make sure we've got the right equipment
You all know that feeling right after you've had a shave. Your skin starts to dry out and tighten, it feels like all the moisture is evaporating as you stand there. Within a couple of minutes it can get quite sore, and give it an hour or two and you'll be quite red. In extreme cases you'll get dry skin and could even do serious damage.
Which is why moisturising your skin properly after shaving is so important. And if, like me, you've got sensitive skin that's prone to dryness, it's absolutely vital to get it right
Enter our lead character stage left. Nivea for Men Aftershave Balm is an absolute joy, and a definitive must in my toiletry shopping. I've tried many substitutes over the years, all with varying degrees of success, but this is far and away the best
It comes in two different types, normal and sensitive, the latter of which is going to be my focus here.
So what is this great product? Well, quite simply it's a balm that you slap on your face after shaving. A balm - for those of you not in the know - is a lot more soothing that the liquid aftershaves a lot of us slap on. It is milky in both texture and appearance and this is the first give-away that it's going to be good for you
There's something about creamy and milky products that just oozes moisturising! But is it really that surprising? Look at some of the harsh aftershaves, full of alcohol, that some people use. Alcohol can strip paint - how on earth can it be good for our faces?! Needless to say, this balm is alcohol-free.
It also has no real smell or perfume - what Nivea describe as "fragrance neutral." This is a major plus point for me, as it means I don't end up smelling like talcum powder or some really harsh cream throughout the day. I normally spray a bit of eau de toilette on afterwards, and I only need a bit as there is no smell to mask
The balm sinks into your face really quickly. After a quick slap on and a couple of seconds of rubbing it around your face, you'll barely know it was there in the first place. Again, it's another reassurance of the product's moisturising properties - you figure if it's soaking in that quickly, it's got to be good for you!
Nivea add that the product is enriched with Vitamin E, and contains camomile, 'calming' Bisabolol and Calendula, 'anti-irritant' Allantoin and 'moisturising agent' Panthenol . I don't know to what extent any of these are benefiting my face, but I guess they all are, otherwise Nivea wouldn't be making a big deal out of it - or maybe I'm a sucker for good marketing. Either way, it's all adding to the good-for-you nature of the balm
It's also dermatologically approved, which again is added reassurance. My skin tends to flare up at the slightest whiff of something nasty and harsh, but I've never had any trouble with this particular shaving balm. I'd certainly recommend this for anyone who has sensitive skin
And it really does work, which I suppose is fairly fundamental to the review. It leaves my face feeling smooth, moisturised and in fine health. I've never had any irritation, redness or stinging after using it so no complaints at all on that front
The only downside, and the reason it gets only 4 stars, is the price. I suppose it's the society we live in that everything costs a lot, and things that are good for us cost more - but £5.75 for 100ml (in my local Boots) does seem rather expensive.
Admittedly, and this is another selling point, it does last a heck of a long time. An average pack will last me a month or two. Oh yeah, and it comes in a really solid, thick glass container, with a screw top cap. It's survived a couple of drops so is also pretty sturdy
Without wanting to over-exaggerate, for me this is one of those products that I really couldn't do without. It does exactly what it's supposed to and leaves my face feeling great afterwards.
Now I just need to improve on the way it looks..... ;-)
Advantages: It works for a start Disadvantages: Slight greasy sensation
...led to me plucking the Nivea product from the shelves. Previously my skin and moisturisers have just not got on well, always leading to blotchy greasiness.
The sensitive balm was a revelation though. Alcohol free, camomile and vitamin enriched, and with a light, pleasant (what it claims is neutral) fragrance, it really took all the post shaving irritation and inflammation away. It took a couple of days for my skin to get the hang of the stuff, but ... ...balm applied to the shaved area worked wonders. Cool to the touch, it felt soothing, and any redness was gone within 10 minutes. The faint fragance is light and fresh, and very bearable, and will not clash with aftershave (which is NOT applied to the shaven area...yeeeeouuuch). The only downside I have experienced, is that despite a 'non-greasy' claim, after a day of it on my face, I do feel dirty and greasy, and look forward to a post work shower. ...

...my face. Nivea for Men after shave balm does just this. It is available in its original version, as well as a version for sensitive skin which is my personal preference, although I have tried both. You simply apply a small amount of the aftershave balm on the sore areas after shaving, and after only a few minutes, the redness has gone down and your face feels less sore. Nivea for men aftershave balm also acts as a moisturiser so essentially it is ... ...Within 20 minutes of using Nivea for men aftershave balm after shaving, the redness on my skin has all but completely dissapeared and I am left with a smooth and soft clean-shaven look which I love. I have tried a number of other aftershave balms and gels available on the domestic market, but I have to say that this is the most effective product I have found in combatting the unpleasant soreness and irritation from shaving. If all this wasnt enough, ...

Advantages: soothes and moisturises very efficiently and quickly, isn't greasy Disadvantages: glass bottle makes with small opening makes it hard to reach into
...standing, I later realised that Nivea representatives were giving these sachets away to random bypassers, figures. After shaving, whether my face was dry or wet, this stuff would more or less instantly clear away the horrible sensation you get when you touch razored sore skin, and the redness that comes with it. After use my skin felt moisturised (better than most specific moisturisers have done for me), soft and supple. In very dry conditions in ... ...between my fingers, and after applying the balm, the dryness disappeared within the day and didn't come back. Also in the heat, my childhood elbow exzema scars can become very itchy and adgitated, the same affect of the product happened when I applied the balm. This really goes to show that the product isn't just for post-shaving and has soothing properties. After running out of sachets I decided to buy a bottle from Lloyd's pharmacy for £7. Maybe ...

Advantages: Soothes and moisturizes skin effectively, nice smell, reduces redness Disadvantages: Price if you think £4.32 is expensive, does leave skin a little irritated at first
...notice the difference. The nivea lotion inside the bottle has a very masculine and nice scent to it. I have the energy version for normal sin in a 100ml bottle, and so far it has lasted me at least 2 months of shaving on a once or twice a week basis. Based on that, for £4.32 a bottle at Sainsbury's, that is both reasonable value and good quality. The lotion within the bottle is quite runny, so you do have to be careful not to get it over clothes ... ...is the case with the Nivea products, they have always been good to me. In the Nivea aftershave cooling balm for normal skin, the following products are formulated within - Mint extracts Iso-Magnesium Vitamin E Provitamin B5 Overall, I am a big fan of the Nivea aftershave balms for men as they do work better than any other brand I have tried. It is important though to try different varieties, or pick the one that you think is most suited to your skin, ...
