If your aftershave burns, that’s not a sign it’s working.

Why alcohol-based aftershaves cause problems

  • Alcohol strips natural oils
  • Dries out freshly shaved skin
  • Triggers inflammation
  • Can darken skin over time

What your skin actually needs

  • Calm, not sting
  • Hydration, not dryness
  • Support for healing shaved skin

Key takeaway:
Burning means irritation — not cleanliness.
