Potassium Alum Deodorant/Skin Healer

Potassium alum has many skin benefits, including: - Skin tightening: Potassium alum can tighten the skin and make it feel smooth and firm. - Reducing sweating: Potassium alum can reduce the amount of sweat you produce. It works by creating a barrier on the skin that prevents odour-causing bacteria from growing. - Treating skin irritations: Potassium alum can help with minor skin irritations. - Treating wounds: Potassium alum can help stop bleeding and speed up healing for small wounds. It's often used by manicurists. - Treating canker sores: Potassium alum's antibacterial and healing properties can help eliminate the bacteria that cause canker sores. - Treating skin infections: Potassium alum can help treat skin infections like boils, impetigo, and furuncles. - Treating vaginal infections: Potassium alum's antifungal properties can help treat vaginal infections like candidiasis. - Reducing the appearance of stretch marks: Potassium alum can be used as an exfoliant to remove dead cells and stimulate collagen fiber production. - Reducing the risk of shaving rash or infection: Alum blocks can help prevent bacterial growth and reduce inflammation after shaving. - Treating irritated skin after waxing: Alum's antiseptic and astringent properties can help treat irritated skin after waxing. - Potassium alum is also used in personal care products as a preservative because it prevents bacteria from growing. Alum block: - Use an alum block to stop bleeding, reduce inflammation, and prevent razor burn after shaving. - Wet the alum block and skin with cold water, gently run the block over the skin, and let the residue sit for 15–20 seconds. - Rinse with cold water and apply aftershave or moisturiser. Potassium alum deodorant, also known as "alum" or "ming fan", works by creating a barrier on the skin's surface that prevents odor-causing bacteria from multiplying. It's a partial antiperspirant and doesn't block sweat glands completely. To use a potassium alum deodorant, you can: - Wet your underarms after a shower or bath. - Apply the deodorant to your underarms for 20–30 seconds. - Rub it in until your underarms feel smooth and dry. - You can also use potassium alum deodorant on other parts of your body. Here are some tips for using potassium alum deodorant: - Apply the deodorant to clean, slightly damp skin. - Don't use too much water. - If your stone is cracked or has rough edges, be careful not to cut or irritate your underarms.
