Question

Why does my face burn when i put alcohol on it after i shave. ?

Answer 1

why does it hurt when you put it on a cut?

Answer 2

shaving removes skin cells and the underlying new skin is more sensitive

Answer 3

thats what alcohol does. Use something else

Answer 4

because its alcohol.

Answer 5

Alcohol is burning minor cuts you don't see.  Not sure why you would put alcohol on your skin after shaving-- just rinse your face off with water and dry.  No reason at all to put anything on after shaving.  

Answer 6

Because you have microscopic cuts all over your face and then your pouring alcohol on them.

Answer 7

because its killing the germs  

Answer 8

i don't shave yet so this is just a guess... but maybe because when you shave the hair off there is like an opening in the skin where the new hair comes in and the alcohol goes through that opening...?
