In 2025, there is an ever-increasing number of products and techniques available to take care of your beard and skin. It can be overwhelming and we get that, but Beardwood is here to make life easier and your beard softer. We are proudly in Bend, Oregon so we see all different types of beards here. Are you a full-on lumberjack beard-er? Or a refined stubble kind of person? Proper maintenance is essential for a healthy, stylish appearance no matter what your beard looks like. Take care of your beard and skin this year, and make 2025 the year you are ensuring you look and feel your best.
So, Let's Talk About the Basics of Beard Care
It's important to understand why beard care is so important -- because obviously. A well-groomed beard can boost your confidence and truly improve the health of your skin beneath the hair. Beardwood is all about preventing issues such as itchiness, dryness, and split ends -- yikes.
To Wash Your Beard Daily or Not? That's The Question.
Regular washing is key for your beard. Maybe you haven't really thought about washing your beard thoroughly before, totally okay! We suggest opting for sulfate-free beard shampoo, nice on your skin and fur. Advanced formulas include nourishing ingredients that clean without stripping away essential oils -- you don't want to lose those babies. Aim to wash your beard 2-3 times weekly -- so no need for daily beard washing (unless you enjoy that, then you do you!)
Conditioning with Beard Oil | Make Your Beard Shine
Okay, we may sound biased but we got into the beard business because we care about you so, just continue reading! For your beard care routine in 2025 is high-quality beard oil. Beard oil moisturizes and softens your beard but also nourishes the skin underneath, a one-two punch of greatness. Look for oils with natural ingredients, which are known for their moisturizing properties.
Some of our favorite Beardwood Beard Oils are:
To apply beard oil:
1. Start with a clean, dampened beard (not soaked)
2. Use a few drops of oil; a little goes a long way here.
3. Rub the oil between your palms and massage it into your beard and skin.
This routine should help maintain a healthy, jealousy-inducing beard that stands out.
The Role of Beard Balm | The Loving Partner of Beard Oil
Beard enthusiasts have embraced beard balm as an essential part of their beard care toolkit. Beard balm combines moisturizing properties with a light hold -- keeping any and all whiskers controlled and styled.
So, How Do I Choose the Right Beard Balm
Focus on those with natural ingredients (see a trend here?) that provide nourishment. For the best results, look for balms that also include essential oils for a pleasant fragrance.
Look at our Beard Balm here at Beardwood and the natural ingredients in our products:
How to apply beard balm
1. Put a small amount of balm and warm it between your palms.
2. Apply to your beard and focus on the areas that require more control.
3. Comb or brush to style your beard, stubble, or mane (and so that it gets distributed evenly)

Okay, we aren't trying to sound like a broken record but seriously, drinking plenty of water can not only support your body but also your skin's elasticity and hydration. Also, consider incorporating a quality moisturizer into your daily skincare routine can help prevent dryness.
Take Care of That Beard and Get a Trim
Beard oil and beard balm can only go so far and an overgrown beard can look well, and wild without regular trimming.
1. Invest in Quality Tools: Use sharp scissors or a dedicated beard trimmer for your beard if you are DIYing this.
2. Understand Your Beard Style: Remove excess beard based on your preferred look.
3. Regular Maintenance: Aim for a trim every few weeks and if DIYing isn't your thing, check out your local directories and online forums for a barber everyone loves in your area!
So, we've kept our hand on the beard pulse, and beard and skin care have evolved with new products. But, the need for beard care remains the same: conditioning with beard oil, styling with beard balm, and prioritizing skin hydration, can help make sure your beard remains looking fantastic.
