How to take care of your beard?
The beard has become a real style asset for many men. Whether it's long and bushy or short and well-trimmed, a well-groomed beard will allow you to reveal your personality . However, taking care of your beard requires a little effort and a suitable routine. In this article, we present the essential steps for a daily beard care routine and we will reveal THE product not to be missed.
SUMMARY
The perfect routine to adopt
A regular routine is the key to keeping your beard healthy and flawless. This will help you avoid itching or your hair becoming dull and dry. In addition, it is important to understand that, despite a fairly similar composition between beard hair and hair, their pH remains different. Here are some steps to follow to take care of your beard on a daily basis:
- Deep clean
Start by cleaning your beard with a shampoo specially designed for beards or a beard soap rather than your classic hair shampoo which could strip your hair. These products are designed to protect your beard from external aggressions such as perspiration, dust and bacteria. They also soften the hair and make it shiny. After wetting your beard with lukewarm water, lather the soap and gently massage your beard. Then rinse thoroughly.
- Exfoliate
Once or twice a week, you can also perform a light exfoliation on the entire face, paying particular attention to the beard. This is usually a fairly dry area, so it's not uncommon to find dead skin cells there. In order to eliminate these particles, we advise you to use our ORGANIC Exfoliating Peel , enriched in particular with fruit acids (AHA) and jojoba micro-beads , which will provide a dual enzymatic and mechanical action. Fine particles caused by pollution are then eliminated, blood circulation is activated and cell renewal is stimulated. Thanks to this exfoliating action, you will prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs since it will eliminate dead cells on the surface of the skin. This limits the risk of pimples and hair growing under your skin. Simply apply it evenly to your cleansed and dry face, leave it on for 10 minutes if you have the opportunity, then massage it in circular motions with your fingertips. If you have acne-prone skin, you can also simply apply the Exfoliating Peel as a mask, without massaging, to purify the acne spots already present without attacking them. That's it, your skin is breathing and ready to receive moisturizing treatment .
- Hydrate and nourish
After cleaning, it is essential to moisturize and nourish your beard, either with an oil or a balm. Rich in fatty acids , this type of product will deeply nourish the hair and the underlying skin, thus preventing itching and dandruff. Indeed, on a daily basis, we quickly tend to forget this small part of the skin that we rarely see. However, well hidden beneath the hairs, the skin also deserves to be hydrated and renewed!
- Detangle and brush
A very important step after taking good care of your beard is to detangle it as well as brush it, either with a beard comb or with a beard brush . In order not to damage or break your hairs, we recommend that you favor natural materials such as wood. Start by gently detangling your beard starting from the root of the hair and then gently work your way down to the lengths. In addition to obtaining a smoother and more polished finish, this step allows you to remove the rest of the impurities that could have resisted the action of the peel .
- Trim your beard
This last step is not insignificant since it will allow you to obtain a perfect result! Take a pair of scissors or a comb trimmer and trim your beard for a more structured look.
Why and how to use beard oil?
Oil is an essential part of any beard care routine. Remember that external factors such as cold, heat or even the friction of everyday clothing can damage your hair and therefore weaken it. Here are some reasons why you should incorporate an oil into your daily routine:
- For optimal hydration : a well-chosen oil beforehand helps to hydrate the hair and the underlying skin, thus avoiding dryness and irritation .
