After you shave, make sure to apply an oil-free moisturizer to soothe and protect your face. If you prefer an after-shave, make sure to check the label for alcohol. Having dryness and stinging sensations are by-products of most after-shave products whose primary ingredient is alcohol. It may feel good at the time, but alcohol based after-shaves will actually irritate your complexion.
