Does men's aftershave soften your beard?

Men's aftershave typically contains ingredients that can help to soften the beard, such as moisturizers and soothing agents. However, the primary purpose of aftershave is to soothe and hydrate the skin after shaving, rather than specifically softening the beard itself. For best results in softening the beard, it is recommended to use a beard oil or conditioner specifically designed for that purpose.

No, aftershave does not soften your beard. Aftershave is applied to the skin after shaving to soothe and disinfect it. It typically contains alcohol or other astringents that may sting but do not penetrate the hair shaft.
