Your Ultimate Guide To Beard Grooming

Men are simple creatures. They pick one thing about themselves and make it their entire personality. It’s tragic, yes, and quite off-putting but a certain kind of men can’t help but be...well... a certain kind of men. Some go to the gym and won’t leave any opportunity to remind you of it. Dating app profiles, Instagram posts, at parties or at work, the fact that they workout is all there is to them. Ditto with men and their beards. They’re proud of their facial fuzz, and there’s no way you won’t know it.

If you happen to be among those men – the beard loving and flaunting type – I’m hoping you’re also the kinds to take care of your beard. Because if your beard is looking not nourished and groomed enough, you’d rather shave it off and save some face.

What you should be doing is maintaining a regular beard grooming routine. Just like your face, your hair and your body. Nothing too complicated yet effective enough to ensure your beard is looking (and feeling) its absolute best, since you’re going to make it your entire personality (or not) anyway.

A Simple Beard Grooming Routine

As with everything, it’s best to stick to the basics. This will make sure it doesn’t begin to feel like a chore, and you won’t abandon it after some time either.

In the mornings, wash and dry your beard and apply a good beard oil, before giving it a comb. And in the evening, rinse it (if you’ve been out all day) to remove dirt, dust and other such particles and replenish your beard with a good serum.

Additionally, every few days, check for split ends and trim accordingly.
