Between −20 °C outside and the dry air of heated homes, beards suffer in winter: brittle hair, itching and flakes. A few habits are enough to keep yours healthy.
Wash less, moisturize more
Wash your beard two to three times a week with a gentle beard shampoo. Daily soap washing strips the sebum that naturally protects it.
Oil and balm: the winning duo
Apply a few drops of oil to a slightly damp beard to nourish the skin underneath, then a balm to coat the hair and protect it from the wind.
Regular trims at the barber
A trim every three to four weeks removes damaged ends and keeps a clean line, even if you grow your beard out for winter.
