Why Use Aftershave?

Some men may see aftershave as an unnecessary expense and may not want to spend money on it. Others may feel applying it is a waste of time. However, its moisturizing and antibacterial properties make aftershave an essential for any man.

Antiseptic

Most aftershaves contain alcohol, which is known to kill germs, so applying aftershave can help prevent infections in any cuts that may have resulted while shaving.

Moisturizing

Shaving strips your skin of its natural oils and can leave it feeling dry and irritated. Most aftershaves contain a moisturizer, which helps to replenish skin's moisture.

Perfume

The majority of aftershaves are scented, which may have a similar effect for men as that of the perfumes and colognes that women wear.

Stops Irritation

Applying aftershave soothes skin and helps prevent the rash that commonly breaks out after shaving, known as razor burn.

Prevents Regrowth

Some aftershaves include the unique ingredient known as capislow, which is a plant extract that has been clinically proven to slow down hair regrowth, which means you may reduce that five o'clock shadow or won't have to shave as often.
