4 Necessities for Beard Care
Fellas, it’s time to talk about beard care. Beards are an essential part of your hair/skincare routine! Many disregard that beards need moisture, attention, and special products to retain their thickness and length. Our goal is to make your beard supple to the touch during the cold winter months. Here are some products that will help you get there!
1) Cleanser
Yes, your beard needs a special cleanser. Since the hair on your face needs a good cleansing, traditional hair shampoo and face wash will most likely dry the skin underneath your beard. Neither will do your beard justice in providing all the benefits of using beard wash! Your beard will feel stripped of its oil, thus rougher because it lacks nourishment! Washing your beard every 2 to 3 days or once a week will also keep your beard pleasant. Food particles, pollution, debris, and other buildups will be diminished. The Scotch Porter Moisturizing Beard Wash and Solo Noir For Men - Dapper Face Plus Beard Wash are great options to provide care!
2) Conditioner
Conditioner solidifies nourishment for your beard! Your beard will retain moisture and remain soft because the conditioning properties serve as a barrier. Products such as the Nature Boy Leave-In Beard Conditioner and Evan Alexander Grooming MY Beard Conditioner provide thicker beards with more volume and strengthen hair strands.
3) Beard Oil
The infamous beard oils! Beard oil is in the arsenal of almost all beard owners, yet it’s maybe not as necessary you think! Be cautious with how many oil-based products you use for your beard. Excessive oil can cause breakout and greasiness rather than softness! The scent of beard oil is also important! Since they’re going to be on your face, essential oils are less overwhelming to your sense, so it keeps the scent and feels gentle. A few drops of Beard Organics - Morning Wood Beard Oil and DG Grooming Essentials Swift Absorbing Beard Oil will add the needed shine and scent without the greasiness and overwhelm.
4) Beard Balm
During the Winter, beard balms help compensate for the lack of dryness from the Winter air and heated enclosed spaces. Balms such as the PO Spa Treatments Beard Spread and Uncle Jimmy Beard Gro Balm will solidify the moisture provided by previous products to ensure it remains. Again, be cautious of how much balm you use! A little bit will take you far, especially with balm since it’s oil-based.
Beard care is important. The products you keep and use in your arsenal will keep your beard supple and pillowy soft. There’s the myth that beards don’t need special attention yet that’s false! Your beards come in contact with many things throughout the day so it’s important to keep them as nourished as possible
