A beard regimen typically includes a few steps to keep your facial hair and skin healthy and looking great. Here are a few essential grooming habits which, when followed consistently can result in a well groomed, sharp and stylish looking beard!
1. Cleanse (Daily)
Wash your beard with a mild shampoo or beard wash to remove dirt and oil buildup. You can use a specific beard shampoo, or a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo.
Avoid using regular soap or harsh shampoos as they can strip the natural oils from your skin and beard. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a towel.
2. Trim (Weekly)
Regular trimming helps keep your beard looking neat and tidy. Use scissors or clippers to trim the length, and a beard trimmer to shape your beard.
3. Shape (Weekly)
Use a razor or trimmer to define your neckline and keep the beard in line with your jawline. You can utilise the Forest Hill Beard Comb + Shaping Template to make your beard symmetrical and to achieve perfect lines for your neck, cheek and sideburns.
4. Moisturise (Daily)
After washing your beard, apply a beard oil or balm to keep your beard and skin hydrated.
Beard oil helps soften, thicken and nourish the beard. It prevents beard flaking (beardruff), reduces itchiness and promotes healthy beard growth! It also moistures and hydrates the skin beneath your beard.
You can shop the Forest Hill Beard Oil which is a cold pressed premium oil blend with all natural ingredients.
5. Comb/ Brush (Daily)
Use a beard brush or comb to detangle your beard and distribute the beard oil or balm evenly. Brushing or combing also helps stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles and promote healthy growth.
6. Style (Daily or Weekly)
Use a styling product, such as a beard balm or wax or alternatively a beard oil to tame any unruly hair and add a touch of style to your beard.
7. Eat Well (Daily)
A healthy diet rich in protein, healthy fats, and vitamins such as vitamin D and biotin promotes healthy hair growth.
