After you finish shaving, rinse your face with cool or lukewarm water and pat it dry with a clean towel. Your skin should be clean but still slightly damp, because that helps the balm spread evenly and lock in moisture. Squeeze a small amount — about the size of a hazelnut or a pea, depending on how much surface you cover — onto your fingertips. Rub your hands together briefly, then press and massage the balm over the shaved areas in gentle, upward strokes.
There is no need to rinse it off. The product is designed to stay on the skin and absorb. Wait a minute or two before applying sunscreen or moisturizer, though most people find they do not need an additional moisturizer under it because the texture is hydrating on its own.
Practical timing tips:
- Use it immediately after shaving, while the skin still feels warm or tight; the balm is specifically intended for this post-shave moment.
- For morning shaving, apply it before your commute so the skin has time to settle; it will not leave a visible or sticky film.
- If you use other face products later in the day, apply the balm first, then follow with anything heavier if you prefer.
The 75 ml tube is small enough to keep in a gym bag or travel kit. A little goes a long way, so a normal amount is more than enough for the full beard area. If you accidentally apply too much, blot the excess with a tissue instead of rubbing it in, which can pill.
