Citral may be the problem
There are some aftershaves that cause me some problems and some that don't. So, I have been label reading to try and figure out what ingredient it might be. It seems like my skin has become sensitized to Citral as this is the ingredient that seems to be consistent with products that cause me problems, specifically; stinging and red blotchiness and then super dry scaly skin and I can't shave for a few days. Some of the products I have been using for a long time, such as Limes Skinfood, and no problems until the past couple of months. I don't seem to have problems with citronellol or limonene in the ingredients list. Any thoughts? Does anyone else have any problems with citral? Could it be something else?
