When using aftershave, it is important to spray it on the shaved area to restore lost moisture and soothe the skin. Aftershave can be applied by spraying it onto the hands and then rubbing it onto the face or by spraying it directly onto the face. Aftershave contains various ingredients such as alcohol, witch hazel, glycerin, menthol, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid, among others. Alcohol is used as an astringent to help close the pores, but it can also be hard on the skin barrier and make it challenging for the skin to retain crucial moisture. Witch hazel is a commonly available alternative to alcohol. Aloe vera soothes and repairs the skin after shaving, helping to reduce irritation, while hyaluronic acid is the ultimate skin moisturizer that retains over 1,000 times its weight in water. Menthol revitalizes the skin with a cooling sensation, and glycerin provides hydration and locks in moisture for irresistible softness.
