This article will teach you how to treat symptoms of aftershave allergy on legs.
Some people may get an allergic reaction from after shave. This is because it contains chemicals that the body might reject. Therefore, you may experience symptoms such as redness, irritation and razor bumps.
Why Does Shaving Play a Part in Causing the Symptoms?
When we shave, we strip away layers of skin. This means that when the chemicals that are in the after shave come into contact with the skin they are absorbed more easily. If there is an allergy to these chemicals, then an allergic reaction is unavoidable. Another reason for the fact that an allergic reaction is better induced after shaving is that when you shave you are removing some essential body oils from the skin. This means that there is less protection in the skin that would prevent an allergic reaction from occurring.
