Facial hair grooming makes a difference, and any man who’s attempted to grow a beard or mustache can tell you how tricky it is to care for the hair. However, it’s vital to put in effort and there are several tips you can follow to keep your grooming in check.
Top Tips for Facial Hair Grooming
1. Wash At Least 2-3 Times a Week
Those with a beard should attempt to wash it at least 2-3 times a week. You don’t need to cleanse it daily, but it should be enough to keep up appearances and prevent things from getting stuck in the hair. Nobody wants to see that.
Also, ensure you wash your hands before touching your beard. Hand with bacteria and dirt can create a far dirtier beard. Holding excellent grooming habits in both areas will make your beard that much better.
Do not overwash your beard. If you’re too harsh to your beard, the skin underneath could get irritated, and cause scratching and peeling under the hair. It’s far from ideal.
2. Moisturize Your Beard
Many don’t realize that moisturizing the beard is a critical part of happy and healthy whiskers. The more moisture your beard retains, the less dry it will be and the less dryness you’ll experience. It will also create a natural shine that dry beards don’t have.
It’s especially ideal to moisturize your skin if you are prone to acne or have naturally oily skin. Although it might seem counterintuitive, additional moisture will be beneficial in this situation.
There are ample products available for the beard. Consider beard oils, lotions, conditioners, and more.
3. Trim Regularly
Finally, ensure you trim your beard regularly. Trimming will keep the length and shape of the beard, ensure your mustache is in check, and keep split ends at bay.
It might seem like a pain to trim your beard regularly, but it’s ideal for your beard’s health. Consider how much to take off depending on everything, from the rate your beard grows to the desired length you want it to be.
