Alunite or alum stone: what is it?

Alunite or alum stone is a salt mineral of mining and volcanic origin. Outwardly, it is very similar to a moonstone, and the translation from the French language “alunite” means “alum”, which is where the name “alum stone” comes from. Sources say that the initial discovery of the stone dates back to the Middle Ages, when Alunite was described in ancient Egyptian papyri. It was about the useful properties of the mineral stone. To date, alunite has opened up to our world with such useful properties as:

1. hemostatic;
2. soothing;
3. antibacterial;
4. regenerating;
5. drying;
6. hypoallergenic;
7. antiseptic.

Most of the properties in alunite are due to the presence of manganese, sodium and chlorine salts. In addition to these trace elements, iron and copper elements can be found in alum stone, which give a specific color.

At the moment, alunite is used even in cosmetology, but most often in its colorless form. Previously, alum stone was used for medicinal purposes – sore throat, viral diseases and even ulcers were treated.

What role does alunite play in barbering and shaving?

You have probably already guessed what alunite will be useful for shaving. If you accidentally cut yourself with a sharp blade and you bleed, then you need to use the mineral immediately. How to do it?

First of all, you need to wash off or remove all traces of shaving foam or gel from your face. After that, it is necessary to wet a small corner of the alum stone with cold water, then apply it to the area with the wound where the blood is flowing and wait. At first, you will feel a slight tingling sensation at the wound site, but this is temporary. The stone will not cause you any severe discomfort, so there is no reason to worry.

If you want your skin to calm down after shaving, you need to walk a wet stone over your face. And after a couple of minutes, wash with cold water. This method is suitable for men with oily or neutral facial skin. Also, due to its ability to dry and tighten the skin, alunite is suitable for those who have hyperactivity of the sebaceous glands.

Well, if you tend to be closer to a dry skin type, then it is better to refrain from frequent use of alum stone. It is better to use it as needed, for cuts and bleeding.

Alum stone as a natural deodorant

Alunite or alum stone can also become your deodorant. It’s not even a matter of him somehow fighting the smell, but of the fact that he works for the cause itself. All this is due to its antibacterial properties – alunite prevents the formation and spread of bacterial growth, destroying their integrity.

Plus, alunite has no color and does not leave marks on the skin, thereby leaving the armpit areas on clothes clean. Pores are not clogged with the composition of the miner, but on the contrary, they are cleansed of toxins.

The only drawback is that you need to use a natural deodorant 2-3 times a day. At the same time, your skin must be absolutely clean before using it. This is not very convenient for those who work 24/7 and are away from home.
