Growing and maintaining a beard isn’t always easy. If you think your bearded brothers haven’t experienced issues while growing their masterpieces, think again. Beard itch and dry skin are your worst nightmare, and unfortunately, if you don’t do anything about it, you’ll be reaching for your razor quicker than a politician’s promise on election day.
Enter Cremo, your bearded vigilante.
Beards generally contain thicker hair cuticles than the hair on the top of your head. When the tougher bristles break through the skin, it can cause irritation and inflammation. Another beard faux pas is men don’t keep the beard moisturized or protect it from day-to-day elements. Because of this, beards dry out quicker, become flakey and can extremely itchy!
ITCHINESS IN NEW BEARDS
Anything new can be a shock to the system, and new beards are no different. At this stage, your face hasn’t been shaved for a couple of weeks. Shaving is an exfoliant, so without this, your face is building dry skin around your bearded region. This is what can cause the irritation and dreaded beard itch.
ITCHINESS & FULLY-GROWN BEARDS
The common mistake men make with beards at this stage is not having a routine to keep the beard healthy. Itchiness can come from not exfoliating, not moisturizing and not properly drying the beard after a shower.
THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU CAN DITCH THAT BEARD ITCH COMPLETELY BY USING THESE HANDY TIPS AND TRICKS.
START WITH A CLEAN SLATE
Washing your beard once a day with our
2-in-1 Beard Wash & Softener is the perfect way to moisturize and remove impurities. Unlike normal shampoo, Beard Wash & Softener is tough enough for coarse facial hair, yet gentle enough for daily use. Make sure to rinse off any excess product once you’re finished.
DRYING YOUR BEARD
Make sure you dry your beard properly when wet. Leaving water in can dry your beard hair out and make it more brittle. Cremo recommends drying on a low heat with a hair dryer, or delicately using a towel to dry.
COMB OR BRUSH YOUR BEARD
Using a
Beard Comb or Brush is a great way to stimulate your beard follicles and blood flow. This process can also remove impurities and act as an exfoliant.
HYDRATE AND MOISTURIZE
Beard Oils and
Creams help hydrate and moisturize your beard. These products are a must in combatting itchiness and irritation. This is achieved by keeping your beard soft, skin moisturized and flake-free. Try using these products at the end of your routine and before you brave the day.
