If you’ve had a beard for long enough, you would know that the winter months can be an absolute struggle. And if you don’t have one, you’ll find out soon enough. In cold, temperate locations, this feeling is multiplied. For most people, winter brings with it low humidity and freezing winds, both of which can have an adverse effect on the health of your beard.
If you don’t care properly for your beard during the cooler months, it will probably be just a matter of time before your once beautiful mane turns into an absolute mess. One extremely common problem is dryness of both your beard and the skin underneath it.
At Malebasics, we believe taking care of your beard is as important as taking care of your balls. Let’s dive straight in with 3 useful tips that will help make those cold winter months much better for your beard and yourself as a whole.
During colder months, we alll start our day with a super hot shower. Constantly treating your beard and the skin underneath with hot water will deprive them of their natural oils. This, in turn, may cause your beard to turn brittle, and your skin to be dry and flaky.This is why most of you bearded gentleman out there experience the dreaded beardruff ( beard dandruff ).
Cooler showers are actually better for the overall health of your beard and skin. However, we know that changing the habit of soaking in that soothing warm water during the winter is hard to break, so just make sure you don’t keep your beard under it for too long.
Also, it’s highly recommended to not let the water sit in your beard for long after your shower, so make sure to dry your it properly as soon as you’re out of the shower. Most tap water comes with hard minerals, which in turn can be very harmful for your beard. Letting the water dry by itself will also lead to lowering the moisture content, which is probably the last thing you would want while fighting winter cold.
Shampoo is a great way to clean the beard, but some people go overboard washing it every single day thinking they’re doing themselves a favour. Like the above, too much shampooing strips the beard of its natural oils. Instead, try using the Groom Beard Wash 1-2 times a week. We guarantee your beard and skin will be healthier following this process
We're strong believer in beard oil being the best product for your beard every day of the year, because it’s an all-rounder. With all the products out there, beard oil may be the only product that you should use every single day and is the best weapon against fighting environmental elements. The Groom Beard Oil provide a great ratio of essential fatty acids, micro elements and minerals to restore the beard and skins health, eliminate the itch which becomes more common due to the cold winds that dry out the skin, and keep the beard hairs strong, split-end free whilst managing fly aways.
Beard Oil protects the beard and is best applied after a shower once the beard is dried. This is just a little extra, nothing extreme, to keep the beard protected without dousing it in oil.
Combing your beard also keeps the beard neat, tidy and stimulates circulation. We recommend combing your beard after applying beard oil (morning or night, but don’t go crazy).
