Aftershave is a product designed to be applied to the skin following shaving to soothe and protect the skin. One of the most common ingredients included in aftershave is alcohol or cooling agents. Alcohol serves as an antiseptic, helping to prevent infection from any nicks or cuts that may occur during the shaving process. It also provides a refreshing sensation that can feel invigorating after shaving.

In addition, many aftershaves contain cooling agents such as menthol, which not only provide a cooling effect but can also assist in reducing inflammation and irritation that may arise after shaving. The combination of these ingredients helps to tone the skin, close the pores, and impart a pleasant scent.

While moisturizing cream may be beneficial for skin nourishment, its primary function diverges from the primary goals of aftershave. Hair gel and antibiotic ointment do not align with the conventional purposes of aftershaves, which focus on cooling, disinfecting, and soothing shaved skin rather than hairstyling or treating infections.
