How Pit Liquor Stops Razor Burn

How Pit Liquor Stops Razor Burn

 

Razor burn is the worst. It makes you feel uncomfortable, and often comes with an unsightly rash. It seems like one of those terrible but inevitable parts of shaving. But we're here to tell you it doesn't have to be.

Men have been making use of razor burn solutions for decades, using after-shave balms that are mostly alcohol, a known bacteria-killer. But women? We are way behind the curve. Pit Liquor aims to change that.

How exactly does razor burn happen? Glad you asked. 

You shave your face, pits, legs, or, you know, other areas. While you're just there to shave, your razor indiscriminately opens hair follicles in addition to getting rid of those pesky hairs. The razor itself brings bacteria into those now-open follicles, injecting bacteria into any open area because your razor has old hair, skin cells, and general bathroom germs trapped within its blades. The bacteria goes all the way into the base of the hair follicle because the hair protecting this is now gone. Then the bacteria has a big ole party reproducing until your armpits become one giant rash.

So sure, spraying alcohol deodorant to prevent razor burn on your pits post-shave might sting, but it also kills off all that bacteria trying to leach into your pores. It means no razor burn, and we think that's worth celebrating. Here's how to stop razor burn with Pit Liquor:

 

A few tips:

Really feeling the burn? Try applying your Pit Liquor 5-10 minutes after your shower instead of right away. You'll still reap the rewards but lessen your sting.

Don't want to get too burned? Be sure to absolutely, positively, never spray down there. Trust us. It's a choice you don't want to make.

Razor burn still hitting a day later? Try reapplying 12-24 hours after you shave for a second time to keep your pits fresh and burn free.

Reduce, reFILL, Recycle

Reduce, reFILL, Recycle


We want to leave our planet a better place that we found it. 

And as a company, we at Distilled Bath & Body see that our actions have larger ripples because of the scale of our impact. We want to do our part to make sure each of our choices makes the world a better, brighter place. A big way we hope to accomplish this is by seeing less plastic in our home and in yours too.

Reduce.

We can all agree plastics are not beneficial to our planet, and Pit Liquor is dedicated to reducing plastic dependency. Plastic clutters our streets, overwhelms our landfills, and leaches chemicals into our food. Unlike plastic, glass does not affect our food, is recyclable, and can be broken down. So no more throwing away plastic shells when your deodorant runs out! We use glass bottles for all of our products, helping you ditch plastic a little more easily. 

Click here to learn more about our own journey to zero waste!

ReFILL

Refill is the new recycle, and one way we reduce our impact is by offering reFILL bottles (in glass bottles of course!). Our reFILL bottles will refill our 100ml spray bottles 3.69 times, and will refill our 50ml roll-on bottles 7.5 times. Not only does this save you money, but it allows you to reuse your Pit Liquor bottles over and over. 

Even better, all of our bottles are refillable, including spray-on, roll-on, and hand liquor bottles. We also offer a hand liquor reFILL to keep your hands clean all year long. Wondering how exactly to refill those bottles? Find out all the info you need in this how-to post. (Coming soon!)

Recycle

A huge benefit to using glass bottles is their ability to be easily recycled. And new glass products made from recycled glass reduce both air pollution and water pollution. Did you know we offer an in-house bottle recycling program? Once you've saved five or more Pit Liquor bottles, you can mail them back to us to recycle. In return, we'll send you a discount code for your next order!

The Truth About Armpit Detox

Some people claim that you have to detox your pits before a new natural deodorant really works. Is that true?

Out of the Frying Pan and Into the New Year We Charge!

Eve learned to walk. Alongside her, we've learned to help our business walk. It's been quite a dazzling parallel, actually. She has fallen more times than anyone cares to count in her quest to walk, and though she's pretty good at it now and chooses walking over crawling, she still falls. So we are the same.
