The Composition Of An Aftershave:

An aftershave is very important in a man's day to day life. It is a liquid, or a cream applied on the face after shaving. The main function of aftershave is to reduce the infections of shaving cuts and to reduce skin irritation. This is why it consists of an antiseptic agent such as denatured alcohol or stearate/citrate and a moisturizer to soften the skin. A few manufacturers of shaving cream add menthol to the cream to numb the damaged skin. Though alcohol is used to freshen the skin, it is not a very preferred component of the cream as it creates a burning sensation on the skin that lasts longer than just a few seconds. Therefore manufacturers may or may not add alcohol in their aftershave creams.

Many aftershaves use fragrance oils to leave a handsome scent after application. Wearing too much cologne is not very advisory even though you love perfumes as it doesn't leave a very good impression of you on the other people indicating your overcompensation. Also, some fragrance ingredients disrupt our natural hormone balance and may lead to mood swings, anxiety, and depression. In these situations, an aftershave can come to your rescue. They leave a pleasantly refreshing and rather lighter fragrance than colognes, and it comes to rescue, especially when you are enclosed in small congested spaces.

Uses And Advantages Of An Aftershave:

Aftershaves, as minor and common they as may be considered could be very useful and important in your overall look and fragrance. It has endless advantages, and a few of the most important ones are mentioned here:

  1. Helps to stop the Bleeding: a man may face many difficulties during shaving, the major of them being severe cuts and bleeding, which later cause infections and irritations. A good aftershave helps to halt the Bleeding and reduces infections and helps the facial skin to heal faster.
  2. Refreshes the skin: Shaving leaves the skin rough and scratchy, which might cause irritation and skin damage. An aftershave gives a soothing effect to the skin due to its balming properties and creamy texture. It relaxes the skin by reducing the scratches.
  3. Helps to maintain hygiene: After the removal of hair, the skin has many pores that may catch dirt and lead to allergies and skin infections. This could be prevented using an aftershave which keeps the skin pores clean and bacteria-free.
  4. Fragrance: An aftershave has a soft refreshing smell which enhances the fragrance of a person.
