Autumn can be a lovely time, slightly milder weather, warmer, more comfortable clothes, a little more comfortable pace after the summer. At the same time, autumn can be stressful in several ways for the skin on the face and not least the beard. Rain, the colder air and other moisture can dry out the skin and beard by rinsing away the oils and fats that are in the skin naturally. Something that can also affect the beard. The beard hairs can be dried out and damaged by moisture and wind. But there is help available. Plus, there’s not much you need to do. A little love through a little skin care only.
But skin care does not have to be equal to beard care, skin care can also be part of wet shaving for those who shave every day, once a week, month or as needed. Further down we tell you more about skin care for wet shaving.
Face cream for basic skin care
If you don’t already use a face cream every day, now is the time to do so. It will make your skin feel good. It is not at all wrong in any way to wash yourself with ordinary skin soap. However, when you wash yourself with regular soap on your face daily, the soap rinses off even the natural fats and oils in the skin without moisturizing it. A face cream also moisturizes the skin by adding nourishment and moisture to it. This will make both your skin and beard feel better.
Using a face cream for your basic skincare routine is something you can do once or twice daily. Especially if you have sensitive skin, it can help a lot. Should you experience problems with the product you are using, you should of course stop using it immediately. Also keep in mind that it may take a while before you start to see results, so be a little patient.
Bonus tip, use a scrub!
Washing daily with a face cream instead of a soap is a great basic way when it comes to skin care all year round, especially in the fall. But a bonus tip in skin care for those who want to do a little more, it can be a good idea to also once a week use a scrub or other exfoliating cream that deeply cleanses pores and then moisturizes them. Then you can clean your face in a good and easy way. In addition, you only need to do it once a week, therefore it does not take much time at all.
A tip if you're on the go
Maybe you don’t have the opportunity or space to take a jar or bottle of face cream with you, maybe you don’t have access to water just when you need it. Then a beard wipe or cleansing wipe can be a good alternative. Cleanses and moisturizes the skin and beard. In short, perfect for skin care on the go.
Care for your beard with shampoo
Another trick when it comes to beard skin care is to use a special beard shampoo. But why should you do it? Can’t I just use what I have? Yes, it is fine, but the advantage of a beard shampoo is that it is developed specifically for beard hairs and the skin under the beard, unlike the hair and skin on top of the head. You don’t need to have a large amount either but washing your beard thoroughly daily or as needed with a beard shampoo can do a lot when it comes to beard skincare.
Another advantage of using beard shampoo instead of regular shampoo has a significantly better moisturizing effect on the beard than regular hair shampoo has. Regular hair shampoo can be drying on the beard, something that beard shampoo is not to the same extent. In addition, the beard will be properly clean and nice.
As with any other product, it can take a while before you notice that you are using a beard shampoo, so please be a little patient in the beginning, you will see that it will be good in the long run.
The basis of everything, the beard oil!
The basis of all skin care should really be the beard oil, at least if you ask us. But why do we say that? Because the beard oil is a fantastic product of course. It moisturizes both the beard hairs and the skin under the beard. But don’t I need a long thick full beard to use beard oil? Not at all! As we said before, the basis of all skin care should really be the beard oil. You can use beard oil whether you only have a little, a few days’ stubble to you having a thick full beard.
You should apply the beard oil to a dry or very slightly damp and clean beard, the beard should not be wet because then the oil cannot penetrate properly.
For those who prefer to only have a mustache, it is of course excellent to use the beard oil in the mustache as well. It doesn’t matter what kind of beard you have.
Although we wish that the beard oil was a miracle product that helps right away, here too it can take some time. But once you have started, it is very difficult to stop. But if you have problems, you should of course do so.
Don't forget your beard balm!
For those of you who don’t think beard oil is quite enough, especially if you have a taller, thicker full beard, a beard balm can be an excellent supplement. You can of course use beard balm also with shorter beards if you like it. In the end, it’s always up to you and your preferences. Beard balm is excellent because it moisturizes the beard even more, can give it more luster and volume to make the beard look even stronger.
If you use both beard balm and beard oil, you should use beard oil first and then use beard balm for the best effect. Of course, you can also use beard balm without using beard oil.
Wet shaving skin care
It’s not just when caring for your beard that a little extra skin care can be good, especially in the fall. When wet shaving, a little extra skin care with a few more products can be a good way to keep your skin nice and fresh during the fall. This also applies to the beard.
If you usually use an after shave splash, feel free to switch to an after shave balm or possibly an after shave lotion during both fall and winter. This is because they usually contain less alcohol. Your skin can easily be dried out by alcohol, an after shave balm usually contains no alcohol and an after shave lotion less than an after shave splash usually. Exceptions can of course occur between different products. Especially if you have sensitive skin for some reason, you should definitely do so. In addition, in general, both after shave balm and lotion have better moisturizing properties. Many also have good natural antiseptic properties.
If you want to go one step further when it comes to wet shaving skincare, you can use a pre-shave. It moisturizes the skin before shaving and also makes shaving more comfortable. There are several different types of pre-shaves to choose from, oil (also called shaving oil), pre-shave lotion or as solid soap. Which one you choose is up to you.
