Your Guide to Beard Grooming

Remember when men allowed their beards to grow wildly down their face?  Yea, those days are gone.  Today’s man spends more time on grooming to achieve tightly manicured, healthy looking facial hair.  The best way to achieve and maintain a nice looking beard is to create a beard grooming routine using premium products.  The steps to effective beard grooming include cleansing, shaping and moisturizing your beard.   

Beard Grooming Routine

Your skin is the foundation for your beard.  Whether you have short facial hair or a full grown beard, it is important to care for the skin beneath the beard.  Make sure your beard care products include all natural ingredients that care for hair and skin such as moringa and jojoba oil, and avoid products with sulfates and -cones.  Begin by washing your face and beard with a gentle sulfate free skin cleanser.  Next, shampoo and condition your beard, rinse thoroughly then apply Salvaged Roots Bourbon Vanilla Beard Oil to damp hair.  Use fingertips, comb, or brush to evenly distribute the oil.  Apply beard balm if necessary. 

Beard Shaping

The shape of your beard is a chance to express yourself.  Figuring out how to shape your beard might take some time and experimenting, but use photos of others as inspiration.  Beard trimmers or shears are best used when creating the beard shape that works best with the shape of your face.  Pay attention to the length and width of the beard, as you work to find the most flattering look.  Working with a professional barber will help you to find the look that matches your style.

Keeping Your Beard Moisturized

Beards that are not regularly moisturized often appear ashen and hard.  In addition to beard oil and/or balm, a daily leave-in moisturizer for your beard is important as it hydrates the beard before you lock it in with the oil.  Also, make sure to sleep on a satin pillowcase, since satin helps retain moisture and protect skin, while cotton and other fabrics tend to snag and dry out the hair.  

There are so many amazing options for hair, beard and skin care for men today.  Using the right products and finding the right routine for your needs is so important in expressing your personal style. Now go on and be the envy of the beard gang.
