Can men and women both use this product?

Troubleshooting
Alum block feels gritty or appears cloudy.
This is usually a sign of mineral residue from incomplete drying or contact with impurities. Rinse thoroughly and ensure it dries completely on all sides before storing. If the issue persists, it may be time to replace the block.
Stinging sensation is too intense.
This can occur on broken skin. Ensure you are only lightly gliding the block and not applying excessive pressure. If you have significant nicks, consider waiting a few minutes before application or using a more soothing balm.
Alum block seems to be dissolving quickly.
Ensure you are only moistening the surface of the block and not soaking it for extended periods. Shaking off excess water and allowing it to air dry is critical for its longevity.
