Nivea Men Post Shave Balm AS A PRIMER?!

Yes, I know. I'm late to the game. I didn't know if I wanted to try it out or not, and I could never find it on sale, then recently when Priceline had their skincare sale this was included so I bought it and decided to give it a go. Heres my thoughts on it.

Seeing as this product is an after shave product, it obviously has the scent of aftershave, I don't know how else to describe it. But it doesn't last or linger on the skin.

As for consistency, I don't know what I was expecting when I first tried it. But its almost a thick, runny consistency.

How do I apply it? Well, I just do it as if it was a regular primer. I apply it all over my face, and because it is a bit liquidy, I let it set for about 3 minutes, then I just apply my foundation and do my regular routine.

After doing some research alot of bloggers stated it reduced redness, and I hadn't realized until just recently but it does reduce redness around my cheeks and nose where I am mainly red.

This doesn't sting the face either like some after shave balms can, the reason being is because this doesn't contain alcohol or silicon.

This wouldn't be ideal for traveling as it is a thick glass bottle and it would take up a fair bit of room.

It retails for $11.49 at Priceline (You can also get it from other retailers.)
