Beard Maintenance
Beard fashion has taken a whole new level this year. Here are some simple practical tips in making sure your beard is well groomed at all times.
What You Need To Know:
- Purchase a quality beard clipper with different length controls. This is your face we’re dealing with. Don’t go cheap.
- The cheek line, the natural edge of the beard on the cheeks, is best left natural. Unless your beard appears to be starting below your eyes, you probably are better off not shaving or sculpting the hair on your cheeks.
- As your beard grows, you can start using a moisturising shampoo and use a conditioner to create moisture and hydrate to wash it. Make sure the conditioner you use does not contain any products that tingle, especially if you have sensitive skin.
The Resolution:
- Trim from the bottom going up and don’t get antsy with shaping your beard. Give it time to grow before sculpting it and be sure to start at a higher setting and work your way down or risk losing weeks of growth.
- Beards need a line of demarcation, otherwise your beard can appear uneven, accidental or messy. After you’ve trimmed your beard, take off the guard or push back the attachment to the lowest level, and go from the jaw line straight down.
Products for your beard
It’s important that you wash all of your face and ex-foliate your skin so that you eliminate any dead skin build-up Be sure to continue with facial cleanser, as a regular run-of-the-mill bar of soap will dry your skin out. And dry skin under a beard makes an itchy beard.
