4 Reasons Why Your Beard Itches So Much

There you are, minding your own business at work or on an outing, when it happens—the beard itch.

Growing a beard takes time and dedication. So when your beard starts to itch, you might start to feel discouraged and a little embarrassed. Whatever you do, don’t panic. With BLESSED MEN, you’ll be able to get your beard back to its luscious, healthy self. First, let’s take a look at a few common reasons why your man mane is so dang itchy.

Common Causes Of An Itchy Beard

There are plenty of reasons why your beard itches. From genetics to the weather, it seems like anything and everything can provoke the dreaded itch. In this section, we’ll cover the four main reasons why your mane itches.

Growing Out Your Beard

Yes—growing out your beard can cause it to itch. We know that you probably haven’t shaved in a while if you’re actively growing your beard out, but the sharp edge of your razor can scratch your follicles. When your beard grows, the scratched follicles can itch.

Dry Skin

Dry skin can be the result of cold weather, soaps, and genetics. Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis can also cause your beard to itch. If you have dry skin, it’s important to give your beard that extra nourishment it needs. Give it what it wants with our hydrating beard butter.

Use safe products and stay away from harsh ingredients, particularly if you have sensitive skin. Those with sensitive skin can also benefit from swapping out other harsh grooming products like antiperspirant for aluminum-free vegan deodorant.

Ingrown Hairs

We’ve all been there. Almost everyone will get ingrown hair at some point in their life. If you’re finding yourself dealing with these nuisances regularly, you should introduce soothing beard relief into your beard care routine. Try a product like BLESSED MEN Beard Relief to protect the skin around and underneath your beard.

Poor Hygiene

Finally, poor hygiene could be the culprit of your beard itch. It’s important to keep your beard free of dirt and bacteria buildup, especially if you work in manual labor. Ensure that you are cleansing your beard every day with a refreshing beard wash.

How To Make Your Beard Stop Itching

Now that you have a better idea of what causes your beard to itch, let’s talk products. Your beard care routine won’t be the same as your hair care routine. Beards are coarser than the hairs on your head, so it pays to give your beard some extra attention.
