No-shave November is here, and it’s already came to that point where your stylish facial fuzz is starting to look a bit wild. So, you may wonder — What are my options? Well, the most important thing when it comes to the look and health of your facial hair is the proper care. And that’s where it can get tricky, especially when you’re not familiar with beard-care products. That’s why we decided to give you a little bit of insight when it comes to maintaining your luscious whiskers. Here’s how you can maintain the health of your facial hair.
Wash, Wash, Wash!
Hygiene is a must when it comes to your beard. Think of it as an extension of your hair, just a bit closer to your cup of coffee in the morning. Make it a routine to wash your facial hair often to maintain it clean and clear of any nasty intruders like dirt, dust, or leftovers from yesterday’s lunch. Make sure to choose a gentle cleanser that won’t remove the natural oils that give your beard a healthy appearance. Don’t waste your money on a specific beard cleanser, your facial cleanser will be more than fine. After you’re done lathering up, wash fully to wave goodbye to any hidden soap residue.
Beard Oil Love
The secret ingredient for a stylish beard is beard oil. It’s an essential part of your grooming routine, not just a nice, unnecessary extra. This elixir can do wonders for your face hair with just a few drops. In addition to making your beard soft and manageable, it also treats the bothersome itching and dry skin that may be present beneath. Additionally, the aroma is a pleasure for the senses. Choose a smell that fits your personality, and let your beard enjoy the luxury.
Trim it Right
Sure, there’s a rugged appeal to a full, untamed beard, but a bit of trimming goes a long way. Embrace the art of grooming and invest in a quality trimmer. Carve out some time in your routine to tame those unruly strands, shaping your beard to a style that best suits your face. Think of it as sculpting, with your face as the canvas. Not only does it add a touch of refinement to your look, but it also accentuates your jawline, showcasing the chiseled masterpiece that is your facial structure.
Say No to Beard Dandruff
Here’s a hairy situation you don’t want to find yourself in: beard dandruff. Yes, it’s a thing, and sadly — it’s something many people have to deal with it. Combat this unwanted phenomenon by giving the skin beneath your beard some extra attention. While oil can work for some people, for others it just won’t be enough. That’s why you should make exfoliating a part of your routine. A gentle scrub or a specialized exfoliating brush can work wonders in keeping those flaky foes at bay. If your dandruff is more severe, it could also be something more serious than just dry skin. Psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis can also manifest in that way, so if it’s something you’re struggling with, make sure to consult your dermatologist.
