After using alum (actually, I used to also dial 911 and start the IV, but I'm better now!) I like to use a cold splash and then Dominica Bay Rum. I also like the Nivea Double-Action replenishing balm.

Maybe this is a dumb question (certainly an ignorant one!), but if you put the Nivea balm on after the Bay Rum, does the balm cancel or mask the fragrance and effects of the Bay Rum?
