Scent sense

For oily skin
Most aftershaves are alcohol-based and can react with the oil patches on your face, leading to the birth of a new 'scent'! Stick to lighter notes (citrus and woody scents). They are strong enough to linger on your face, and light enough to not blend with the oily patches. Summer Night by Canali, Rs 3,180

For dry skin
The alcohol in the aftershave closes pores and stings for a while. It'll sting you even more if your skin is dry! Avoid alcohol-based aftershaves and opt for a balm, which stings less and also moisturises your skin. Elegance by Lacoste, Rs 2,700

Sensitive skin
If your skin is prone to breakouts, it's best to avoid using aftershave. But if you'd still like to wear one, apply it to your wrists and behind your ears, and stick with a classic, spicier scent as it will last longer. The One by Dolce & Gabbana, Rs 2,590
