Beards have always been here and while they ebb and flow in popularity (although they never lose popularity with us at Beardwood Beard Oil Co.), there will always be beard and beards will always need to be taken care of. Beards are not just hair on your face but are an important part of you!
Plus, you have skin under your beard that also needs some TLC. We're all about making sure your beard looks good and you feel good! If you are new to the entire beard care community and want to uplevel your beard care protocol, we are here to help you learn and ensure you are using the best products for a clean beard, moisturized skin, and a happy you.
Here are our favorite beard care tips:
1. Clean Your Beard Regularly
Hair is a goldmine for collecting all the things: dirt, oil, and dead skin -- yuck. For use of items like Beardwood Beard Oil or Balm, you'll need a clean beard so washing your beard regularly as you would your hair on your head is crucial for styling, moisturizing, and your beard and skin will LOVE YOU for it.
2. Moisturize Your Beard and Skin With Beard Oil
This is where we come in with our Beardwood Beard Oil! Your beard is clean but now what? You want to take care of your beard and skin underneath with beard oil to ensure the moisture gets into the beard itself and also gets into the skin below for a moisturized beard and skin. If you need help on how to do this, check out our blog on steps to take care of your beard.
3. Brush and Comb Your Beard
Moisturizing your beard and skin is the first step but you also want to brush out your beard. If you have a long mane, investing in a solid beard brush will help detangle and also help work in your beard oil a bit more into the beard. You want to be gentle as to not hurt the skin underneath by brushing too hard. Just enough to get that lovely volume to your beard.
PS. If your beard isn't quite long enough for a brush or comb, you can also buff our your stubble with a gentle brush as well. This will also help with any additional exfoliation. All beards are important here!
4. Shape Your Beard With Beard Balm
Welcome to Beardwood Beard Balm territory. You've fluffed your beard, hydrated with Beardwood Beard Oil and now what? You have to style it with some beard balm to keep both the moisture and shape in. Beard Balm typically has a more wax-like texture to help 1) style your beard and also 2) avoid the greasy look that other types of products may give your beard. Plus, it adds a little more "oomph" to your beard oil treatment, so this is a great beard care combo kit to have.
By following these beard care tips, you will be able to show off not only your very nicely shaped and moisturized beard BUT also your radiant and glowing skin underneath!
