The tangy tingling sensation it causes after being splashed on is one way
to describe an after shave. Most after shaves act as astringents; they help
firm skin tone and close skin pores when applied immediately after shaving.
Many after shaves contain alcohol, which possesses antibacterial abilities,
helping to prevent infections of nicks or shaving cuts. It also should
contain glycerine and/or other ingredients known to be beneficial to skin
care. Glycerine will help counter the drying effects on the skin, and the
chafing and irritation that can develop with dry skin. *Most drug stores
contain all of the above tinctures and oils. Herb and health food shops
carry the essential oils.
