If you have skin that needs moisturising after your shave and you like to use an aftershave look for an aftershave splash that has moisturising properties as well as the alchol for the astringent properties. They do existWhen should moisturiser be applied; before or following aftershave?
Before is probably best to moisturise the skin, but then the aftershave probably does not to close the pores so effectively and one would not get the sting and / or the full effects of the aftershave; following, then the moisturiser masks the aroma of the aftershave.
Brut, Old Spice, Blue Stratos, Skin Bracer.I must admit, I've never heard of an aftershave splash; will need to look into further!
Try one of these from Nivea (I use the lotion). Then a moisturizing cream. The lotion has the sting your looking for if that is what you want. Afterwards you can use your choice of aftershave splash or cologne (the cream allows the scent from the splash/cologne to last longer).When should moisturiser be applied; before or following aftershave?

Most "Designer" fragrances do not do an AS, Eau Sauvage is an odd one out with cream and an AS. Generally they do not have any special components such as glycerine etc. I believe Paco Rabanne is just pure alcohol. Some modern designers do have an AS and gel combo such as Joop. AdP is more like Molton Brown and Penhaligons in range than a "Designer" fragrance.There would seem to be a difference therefore between the aftershave splash and a good quality straight aftershave such as Christian Dior's Eau Sauvage, which incidentally is my favourite AS and I have used straight after a shave (after rinsing with cold water and a towel off) and most importantly has some staying power. I have previously found this AS good for both day and evening use. I'm not sure however, if this would have the staying power if mixed with a balm or moisturiser? Perhaps, best for the skin: Balm > Aftershave Splash > Eau de toilette (not on face but pulse points); quick in and out: good quality aftershave (ie top enders): Christian Dior; Dunhill Edition; Acqua di Parma etc, etc or aforementioned AS's plus ditto brand Eau de toilette.
