Nivea Men After Shave Balm -Review on use as primer



Hello my lovelies ! 
Yes , it has been a while but here I am back in action !! Ive vowed to keep my product reviews very short.. so ,theres no chit chat here, just straight off the bat ! Here we go !

What is this ?
-Technically , a men's after shave soothing balm to help ease their razor burns.

What is in / not in it ?
-Main ingredients-glycerin  and witch hazel.
-Main ingredient thats not there in any form - Alcohol
        (Glycerin is a humectant that holds moisture in like nobody's business 
         Witch hazel is the worlds safest toner ingredient, tightens all pores without over drying)

Why should women bother about this "men's" product  ?
-Because, this functions as the "WORLD's" most cost effective as well as functionally adept primer cum moisturiser. 

What do you get ?
-You pay about 18 Aed / 18 QR for 100 ml .which means this is going to last you a year or more of regular liberal use.

Who should try ? 
-ANYONE !
Dry skin -Jump the bandwagon right away !
Oily/combination - Jump jump , You are welcome too !

How can a single product cater to both oily and dry and all other fancy skin types at once?
-Because it neither has oil aggravating ingredients for oily skin or alcohol for dry skin . 

When and how can you use some of this goodness?
 -Dry skin - Directly after cleansing. Can skip toning as well as use of any primer if used before .
- Oily/combination - With or without a light moisturiser.


So , for any of those of you who either hasn't heard of a primer or has never tried one, I urge you . This product will not fail. Anything you apply over it - a bb cream , a cc cream , a foundation , compact powder- any damn thing..will go on smoother and will last much much longer ;come heat ,snow or tornado !

Ive tried this half on my face and other half almost all the high end primers I own-MAC, Benefit ,Make Up Forever etc . And I have no qualms in admitting that this performed as good or even better for 1/8th of the price of the others.

Sneaky caveat :- In the dire circumstance that this doesn't work for you , pack it up in a nice box , wrap a neat ribbon and gift it to your man ;)
