Alum block making skin tough...
Hi Folks,
Apologies if this is something that has already been covered.
I introduced an alum block to my post shave routine recently and I've noticed after a while it has made my skin really tough and not very flexible, and it gets dry and flaky after a day or two. I'm aware that it is meant to tighten the skin somewhat but my face is going hard! I've been thouroughly rinsing the alum off and using moisturiser but the only thing that has brought my skin back to normal is not using the alum.
Is this normal? :confused:
I shave every 3-4 days and shower daily, using exfoliating face scrub every other day.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
