Beards are in. It’s hard to look anywhere these days and not see men sporting full, well-groomed beards. From movie stars to athletes to television personalities, great examples are everywhere. You don’t have to be a celebrity to get the same healthy looking and well-groomed look. Your beard deserves the same kind of love and attention you give the hair on your head.
All you need is a few basic beard grooming tips to achieve similar results:
1. Beard grooming sets
Get yourself a grooming kit. Beard grooming sets are a great place to get started. A good grooming set will come with all of the basic tools that you need to get started. This should include a brush, a comb, and a pair of trimming scissors. Some kits will also give you samples of shampoos, creams, and other products.
2. Beard oils
Beard oil is a multitasker. There are a lot of different options for oils to choose from depending on what you want the oil to do. Some oils are specifically to encourage beard growth which is a good starter oil. Other oils are specifically moisturizers that will help to make your beard hair soft and healthy. As a bonus, beard oil will also keep the skin beneath moisturized and healthy and discourage any skin problems that might develop from dried out skin.
3. Shaving cream
Just because you are growing out your beard doesn’t mean that you won’t need to shave. You want to make sure that you are keeping your beard shaped and contained. Choose a shaving cream that will not irritate or dry out your skin.
4. Beard wax
Beard wax is used to shape your beard and it will also help to protect your beard and your face from rain and wind. By blocking out the elements and locking in moisture, your beard stays healthier and looks better throughout the day. Most beard waxes also smell good which is a bonus.
5. Beard specific cleansers
Beard cleansers are usually sold as bars. Just like you shouldn’t use body wash as shampoo, you shouldn’t use shampoo or face wash as a beard cleansers. A beard specific cleanser will help to make sure that you are getting all of your beard grooming products washed off. It will also give the skin underneath a good cleaning.
5. Beard specific conditioners
Beard specific conditioners will help to hydrate your beard immediately after you use a cleanser. It will also moisturize the skin underneath. Hair conditioners can leave a residue that is not something you want in your beard. Beard conditioners are lighter and will help keep your beard hair soft and healthy.
