Question

What is an aftershave made up of and how exactly does it work ?

Answer 1

"Aftershave is a lotion, gel, or liquid used mainly by men after they have finished shaving. It may contain an antiseptic agent such as alcohol to prevent infection from cuts as well as numb damaged skin, a perfume to enhance scent, and a moisturizer to soften the skin. An alcohol-based, fragrance-free astringent can be used as an aftershave."

Answer 2

It depends on the type you use but most have alot of alcohol in them and tend to dry out the skin which is why it is important to use an everyday face lotion as well.
