Beard grooming tips
In this article, we’ll take a look at how to manage your beard 🧔🏻
Men often grow a beard to forget about daily shaving as well as about cuts, and such troubles as face skin gets irritation and ingrown hairs. However, in reality, no less problems are associated with facial hair. For example, stubble is also irritating to the skin, but you have to be patient not to shave it off before the hairs grow to the desired length. In addition, after a while you may notice that despite the regular correction of the shape, it looks untidy, acne, and bald spots have appeared. Of course, with hair loss, you need to go to a trichologist, since the causes of alopecia are very different, from stress to hormonal failure. But the right care will handle everything else. We advise and insist on using natural products for your hair. This applies both to the hair on the head and to the coarser hair of the beard and mustache. Choose cleansing cosmetics based on natural ingredients, with the addition of oils, not fragrances. About how to do this and what tools will help you with this, we tell in this article.
Why is facial scrub an important part of grooming?
And so, before getting under the shower, comb your beard with a brush. Use a beard brush made of natural bristles, rather stiff boar bristles has been used to create brushes for grooming beards for a long time. Just like with a short beard, the combing procedure for the beard is important for hygiene, since this action removes the hairs that it’s time to fall out. Then it will be necessary to remove dead skin cells, an exfoliating scrub helps you do that.After you have combed your beard well and thoroughly cleansed your skin with a scrub, it’s time to wash it.
Even with thorough washing, dead skin cells can remain under the beard. Bacteria accumulate in them, they clog pores and prevent new hairs from growing, the result is inflammation, ingrown hairs. To avoid this, remember to use a scrub once a week. It not only removes dead skin cells, but also improves blood circulation, which has a positive effect on growth and health of your beard. As a bonus, you will get a healthy complexion and smooth skin.
Proper shampooing and drying
When choosing a shampoo, give priority to products with a natural composition with soft and cleansing ingredients that are safe for the skin💡. And, of course, the composition should contain natural oils so that the beard does not dry out.
Experts do not recommend washing your beard more often than 2-3 times a week. For example, owners of dry skin can wash their beard 1-2 times a week, but not men with oily skin – approximately every other day or every two days. Or wash your beard at the same frequency as you wash your scalp hair.
If you wash your beard every day, you run the risk of washing out all the good fats from your skin, which will dry out the skin and negatively affect your beard, it will become dull and dry. This is definitely not what you are trying to achieve by growing a beard.
There are no specific guidelines on how to shampooing your beard. It is enough to foaming it on the beard or in the hands and walk with massage movements over the entire beard and facial skin, and then rinse. 💡It is important to completely rinse off the shampoo, because there is nothing worse than if the foam dries up and takes on flakes throughout the day, like dandruff.
If you previously washed your beard every day, it will take about 2 – 4 days to adjust to the new routine. Of course, at first glance, the idea of shampooing 1 or 2 times a week may seem strange,and probably heard may have a dirty look by this time. But washing your beard too often drains the hair, makes it thinner, and the skin can begin to peel off. After a few days, you will notice new benefits: the beard will become softer and more manageable.
Such metamorphoses occur because the skin under the beard begins to produce sebum normally. And if not rinsed off immediately with shampoo, then it is distributed over the beard and moisturizes it. Don’t worry, the beard will be just as good, clean looking and smelling great.
The final step of shampooing your beard is moisturizing with a balm and beard oil. For this, will be enough just a small amount of product, in which natural oils will do their job.
Just dry your beard with a towel, pick up some balm, rub it completely between your palms and rub it into your beard. Adding moisture to your beard goes a long way, so don’t skip this step if you want your beard to look well-groomed and healthy. 💡
