Fall is the perfect time to start preparing for the winter ahead, especially when it comes to your beard care. With the cold weather comes new and different challenges for maintaining your stylish beard. Today, we will talk about some best practices for keeping your facial hair looking snazzy all season long.

Hydration is Key

Living in the high desert of Boise means that you learn one thing very quickly: the winter air dries out your skin like nobody’s business. This dry, cold air can quickly pull the moisture from your beard and the skin underneath to leave your beard itchy, scratchy-feeling, and brittle. Staying on top of your beard oil routine is important year round, but it is even more important in the fall and winter. Take a few moments every other day or so (as needed) to dab some beard oil on your palms and run them through your facial hair to keep it in top shape all winter long.

Trim Your Beard Regularly To Maintain Shape

Just because winter is coming doesn’t mean that you can fall behind on your beard upkeep duties! Take a moment every three to five days to give your beard a trim. Watch for split ends, and flyaways that are poking out of an otherwise tidy beard. We suggest using a pair of high quality beard scissors to help give you the agility needed to get your beard looking salon fresh, every day.

Exfoliate to Prevent Ingrown Hairs

As we have said many times in the past, taking care of your beard means also taking good care of your skin! Exfoliation is so important to your overall beard health. Once or twice a week, as you shower, make sure to take some time to use a gentle exfoliating scrub all over your face. This helps to remove unwanted dead skin cells and helps foster healthy hair growth and follicles.

Condition and Protect

Conditioning your beard is important in the fight to keep good moisture in and to help stave off the harsh dry air winter brings. A high quality beard balm, like this one, can wrap each individual hair in a protective barrier with its naturally occurring oils like coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter, and more! They will help nourish the hair fibers and keep them soft even on the coldest days. A well conditioned beard has reduced frizz and looks more full and rich!
