As a bearded man, your morning beard care routine is as important as your first cup of Joe. But morning beard care can be a struggle, especially if you aren’t using the right products. Luckily, there are a few steps you can take to tame your beard and leave the house feeling as good as you look.
No matter how long your beard is, you can learn how to create the perfect morning routine with a little help from the guys at Blessed Men.
Why Is a Beard Care Routine Important?
You never know what the day will bring, so make sure you put your best beard forward. Practicing healthy beard care habits will not only boost your confidence but it’ll also prevent dry skin and help train your beard hairs to lay the way you want.
Beard Product Essentials
A great beard care routine isn’t complete without great products. Check out some of our favorites.
Refreshing Beard Wash
Grooming your beard doesn’t start in front of your bathroom mirror; it starts in the shower. Blessed Men’s Refreshing Beard Wash is a beard-care essential formulated with eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, arnica flower, and saw palmetto.
Start by pouring a dime-sized amount of it into your palms. Massage into your beard and skin and rinse with warm water. This helps keep your beard full and refreshed for the day.
Nourishing Beard Oil
If you don’t have beard oil on your counter, now’s the time to get some. Using beard oil throughout your beard after your morning shower helps maintain unruly strands, keeping it nourished and full. Use a few drops of our Nourishing Beard Oil for added shine and an all-day polished look.
Conditioning Beard Butter
Behind every well-defined beard is a scoop of beard butter. Our Conditioning Beard Butter is designed to shape and define your beard—plus, it smells incredible. Rub a small amount of Blessed Men’s Conditioning Beard Butter into your beard for instant relief and hydration. Style as normal.
How To Create a Beard Care Routine
Sticking with any new morning is hard, but it becomes a walk in the park when you have the right products on hand. Follow these guidelines to shape your daily and weekly beard care into a routine that works for you.
In The Morning
1. Rinse and Wash
Wash your beard in the shower with warm water and lather it with beard wash.
2. Apply Beard Oil
Once you’re out of the shower, gently towel-dry your beard. You can use a blow dryer if you’re in a rush, but try not to heat-style it too much. Take a few drops of oil and apply it evenly throughout your beard.
3. Style
Style your beard using a high-quality comb or beard brush. This will help distribute the oil through your beard.
During the Week
1. Use Beard Wash
Overwashing your beard could lead to dryness. Depending on the length of your beard, we recommend shampooing it two to three times a week.
2. Keep Up on Trims
It sounds counterintuitive, but trimming your beard regularly prevents split ends and promotes healthy hair growth.
3. Use a Beard Butter
Apply beard butter after a wash every few days to keep your mane soft and manageable.
Healthy Beard Habits
Maintaining a healthy beard goes beyond your morning routine. Here are a few habits to keep your beard in shape:
Keep It Clean
Your beard hair is way coarser than the hair on your head, so avoid using regular shampoo on it. Regularly wash your beard with a beard wash to remove dirt, sweat, and product buildup. A beard is less prone to irritation and breakage if you’re regularly cleaning it. Follow up with a beard relief serum.
Keep It Dry
Don’t let your beard stay damp for too long. Be gentle when towel-drying and refrain from rubbing it, otherwise the friction could cause tangles and breakage. Another option is the blow dry, but as we mentioned, heat can cause damage over time. Explore different drying methods to find what works best for your beard type.
Keep It Groomed
Incorporate beard oils and lotions into your routine to keep your beard soft and styled. Invest in a quality brush or comb for shaping and styling. Beard combs are ideal for detangling, while beard brushes help style your beard into your desired shape.
