Congratulations. You are going to have a beard and that is a great idea! Now you are bombarded by the advertisements of “artisanal beard elixirs” and even of gold-plated combs. Don’t pay any attention to them!
Grooming industry preys on your insecurities and sells you the costly soap. No, you do not need a ten-stage program to groom yourself. On the contrary, the simpler the procedure is, the more successful its results are.
Now let us discuss the procedure of face cleansing. Do not use the same harsh soap which you use to wash your body, because your beard requires a more gentle cleanser that will not dry up the natural oils of your skin. For example, CeraVe and Cetaphil do a good job there and cost very little money.
Hydration is crucial for this issue. The ordinary moisturizer works just fine for the skin under the beard. Oil? Only a few drops are necessary, but if you want them.
Speaking about trimming – do not be afraid! There is no need to go to a professional barber every time when you need a haircut. All that you need is a good trimmer, such as Philips Norelco, and the skill of handling the neckline.
The market wants to sell you some additional tool every day. Do not fall for this and do not buy some “beard growth” serums. In most cases, they will work inefficiently. Better spend your money on a romantic dinner.
Change your old routine and put the accent on the correct things – on health, not on products. The nicely groomed beard is a definite mark of the self-consciousness in the office environment.
