How to take the best possible care of your beard
A beard is a very masculine feature: some wear them long and thick, some carefully trim them, and some prefer to be clean-shaven.
But beard care requires the use of specific products in order to prevent dryness and post-shave irritation. Choosing the right products is crucial to keeping your beard well groomed. In this article we’ll explore how to care for your beard and which products to use for maximum results.
Here's how to take care of your beard.
Shaving: the essential steps
For a neat beard, it’s important to care for the skin underneath properly. Before shaving, you should prepare your skin, preferably with warm water or a warm cloth. Apply shaving foam or gel, spreading the product evenly over your skin so that the razor will glide more easily, preventing irritation. Razor blades should never be too old or worn, otherwise shaving will be difficult.
Once you have finished shaving, rinse your face thoroughly (preferably with cold water to close the pores) to remove all traces of product, drying your skin with a soft cloth without rubbing. Now it's time to use aftershave. Massage the product into your skin gently until it is completely absorbed.
Beard care tips
Shaving is important, but it is not the only stage in obtaining a thick, well-groomed beard. So how can you grow a healthy-looking beard?
First, it should be noted that beard growth varies from person to person, but usually growth is between 0.2 and 0.4 millimeters per day.
There are a few steps you can follow to achieve a well-groomed and strong beard. Start with cleansing: this is a very important step in your daily skincare routine.
Choose a gentle cleanser that you can apply to your face morning and evening. This will remove excess sebum, dust and pollution, which are deposited on our skin during the day.
Another essential step is exfoliation. We recommend using a scrub 1-2 times a week. If you wear your beard long, you should use a beard oil or emollient balm to soften the hair. With consistent application, you will notice an improvement in your skin’s appearance and a softer, shinier beard.
