Physics problem about evaporation?

If you rub your face with a so-called "aftershave," which usually contains alcohol, you'll feel a strong cooling sensation. What is the reason for this?

Is my answer correct for, for example, an exam answer?

The fastest particles escape from the surface of the aftershave. The average velocity of the remaining particles decreases. This is noticeable in a cooling process called evaporative cooling.
