This seems like a silly little tip, but I definitely noticed a difference when I started shaking up my aftershave prior to application.

I was using the Institut Karite aftershave for a while and while I liked the product, I was not too impressed with the moisturizing it provided. Well, a few days ago, I decided to give it a good shake prior to applying it.

I noticed the difference immediately. The liquid came out of the bottle creamy instead of runny. After application, my face felt really good and my impression of the product changed completely.

I guess that aftershaves could settle and some of the good stuff might fall to the bottom. So, just a little reminder that it can't hurt to shake your balm before applying.
