what is the point of aftershave?

[randomtw]

what is aftershave supposed to do exactly?

 

[Scotto]

What do you want it to do? There are a zillion aftershave products out there. In no particular order, you might like:

• Antiseptic
• Soothing
• Moisturizing
• Cooling
• Toning
• etc....

oh, i always thought it only served one purpose heh

whats the difference between soothing and cooling?

is there such a thing as a moisturizing, sunscreen, soothing, cooling, (maybe either soothing or cooling) aftershave?

 

[Scotto]

Soothing = combats razor burn.
Cooling = provides a cooling sensation when applied. May or may not be soothing.

Aftershaves are very personal; you'll have to find what works for you. Baxters balm is a good choice if you like cooling sensations. There are many other good ones out there like C&E, Harris, L'Occitane.... and don't even get me started on the traditional alcohol-based varieties.

i see

is there an aftershave that combines moisturizing, sunscreen, and soothing/cooling all in one?

i apply a moisturize and sunscreen to my face everyday and if they're all combined in one product that would save so much time

There is a thread you might find useful on this site. Look in the thread list for: Skin, Body & Hair Care.

Hope this helps!
