Beard care

The beard: a sign of masculinity and individuality. In recent years, the trend of wearing a beard has finally caught on! The facial hair is now again considered stylish and extravagant. Male models and actors wear a beard in movies and in advertising, again much more often than in the years before! In order to make the beard look soft and shiny instead of wild and unkempt, one should invest some time and money into beard care.

...

As everyone knows, beard hairs are thicker, more unruly and wiry than head hair, and therefore they also need to be tamed by other means. From what age a beard fully develops, varies from man to man and is mostly dependent on heredity. Some young men already have a full beard at the age of 19, for others the beard only grows at the end of 20. The hormone testosterone is largely responsible for the growth of the beard.THAT SHOULD INCLUDE YOUR BEARD CARE

Beard cleaning

The rule of thumb here is to wash the beard only twice a week with a mild shampoo, otherwise please only rinse with lukewarm water. Thus, the sebum production of the skin is not disturbed and it is also not unnecessarily dried out. When shampooing, make sure that it does not contain any aggressive surfactants or fragrances, otherwise irritation and beard dandruff may occur. A special "beard shampoo" is not necessary, a mild baby shampoo is also well suited. When drying, please do not "rub" with the towel, but gently pat the beard dry.

Beard oil

Beard oils are usually based on vegetable oils, such as sunflower seed oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, vitamin E oil or argan oil, which not only make the beard hair softer and smoother, but also positively influence beard growth. The skin is cared for and soothed, irritation and redness are reduced. You should make sure that the active ingredients in a beard oil are of purely natural origin. The application is also quite simple: after cleaning, draw up the oil with the pipettte, and then put a few drops (depending on the length of the beard 4-8 drops) in the palm of your hand. Rub the product a little in the palms (so it is warmed), then massage into the beard and the underlying skin. Thus, the beard is optimally supplied with vitamins and active ingredients around the clock. In summary, it can be said that a beard oil provides the skin under the beard hair with moisture and vitamins, makes the brittle, unruly beard hair softer and shinier and it also gives the beard a good scent. Tip: Please do not use too much beard oil, otherwise the beard can quickly look greasy.

Beard Growth

Since not every man is blessed with a plump, dense beard growth on the face, many wonder what products could stimulate or accelerate beard growth. With a little patience, a beard serum in combination with a dermaroller could bring good results here. By means of the microfine titanium needles, the skin is perforated, the serum is better absorbed and introduced into the skin. The blood circulation and the collagen formation are stimulated which has a positive effect on the roots of the beard hair. One should not exceed a needle length of 0.5mm for home use. The beard serum should contain active ingredients such as biotin and vitamin E, which simultaneously strengthen and nourish the skin under the hair. A beard serum should be applied daily after cleansing with light massage movements

(Beard) hair vitamins

Vitamins and minerals are very important to provide the beard hair with optimal care from the inside as well. Especially biotin and zinc are the best choice for smooth and shiny hair. Often known as the "women's vitamin", biotin is now having its big breakthrough in the men's world as well, as it nourishes the hair roots and can thus contribute to better beard growth. Biotin and zinc can be found in dietary supplements such as skin, hair & nails capsules and are quite easy to dose. One capsule a day is usually enough here to be optimally supplied!
