Maintaining your beard is an important extension of your skincare and your overall appearance. Having a well-groomed, properly moisturized beard will not only look better, but will also help prevent dehydration of the facial skin beneath the beard. Dry beards can lead to a scraggly, “Brillo pad” vibe that can easily be avoided with regular use of the right beard oil and balm products.
If your beard is on the shorter side, a beard oil may be all you need to keep the hairs moisturized and shiny. Longer beards may need a combination of balm and oil to achieve the same effect. Daily application of beard oil and/or beard balm will keep you looking your best and keep a healthy luster on your beard.
Moisturizing your beard will give it a healthy sheen, make it easier to groom, and condition the skin on your face. Anything that dries out the skin (dehydration, sun exposure, sweat, cold weather, etc) can dry out the beard. Dry beards loose their sheen and get more difficult to shape and groom. If the beard dries out it can also trigger your skin to develop beard dandruff (yes, that is a real thing) and overcompensate with extra oil production leading to breakouts.
After washing your face and beard, apply Beard Oil to your beard. Texas Beard Company’s Beard Oils are hand-mixed with all-natural oils that come in a variety of scents so you can find one that you like best. The oils are formulated with conditioning ingredients like golden jojoba oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil and grapeseed oil that soften and moisturize your beard and your skin. Vitamin E protects and an essential oil blend gives the finishing scent without irritating the skin. Don’t let the term “oil” fool you. Beard Oil with a natural formulation will make the beard feel soft, not greasy. Natural oils that can be absorbed into the skin and hair will give your beard a healthy shine.
Hair tends to become drier and brittle toward the ends, so if you have a longer beard the ends may need a more intensive moisturizer than the oil. Beard balm is like a thicker conditioner that's perfect for longer beards. Texas Beard Company Beard Balm contains deodorized Shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil to moisturize. The Beard Balm does not contain wax, which makes the product softer, easier to apply, and less prone to buildup than waxy formulations. After applying beard oil, add a small amount of balm to the ends of your beard.
On top of a healthy dose of moisture, beard oil and beard balm can also be a healthy way to groom your beard. A little extra beard oil may be enough to finish the look for shorter beards by keeping the hair more manageable and in place. Longer beards may need hold, so you can use a product like Texas Beard Company’s Beard Balm to tidy and shape your beard.
Selecting the right Beard Oil and Beard Balm from Texas Beard Company will keep your beard and your skin healthy, and give you the look you’re going for.
