WHY IS BEARD WASH SO DAMN GOOD FOR YOUR BEARD?
April 1, 2022
Your beard is different from the hair on your scalp and should be treated as such. This requires the use of specialty products. So, if you are using regular soap or shampoo on your beard, now is the time to ditch it and buy a proper beard wash instead. Read on to learn what makes beard wash different, why you should be using it and the things to consider when purchasing.
The Common Mistake
Growing a healthy and stylish beard comes through a commitment to care and maintenance. In this endeavour, many men make the mistake of using regular shampoo or soaps. What they fail to realise is that these are unsuitable for use on beards, in fact they are detrimental to the health of both your face and beard.
How Is Beard Wash Different?
Beard wash differs in that is has been specially formulated for the upkeep of a healthy beard. Unlike regular shampoo or soap, using a beard wash will not strip your beard of its natural oils, leaving it coarse, dry, and prone to discomfort. Instead its purpose is to soften the hair, cleanse the skin underneath and maintain a healthy balance.
What Makes Beard Wash So Special?
As mentioned, beard wash is specifically designed for the grooming of beards and it offers several key advantages:
- Clean away dirt, grime and dead skin cells.
- Soften the beard and moisturise the skin.
- Help to reduce beard itch and discomfort.
- Reduce the risk of beard-duff.
What To Consider When Choosing A Beard Wash?
"There are a wide range of beard wash products available on the market, the most important thing to remember when choosing one is that the best beard care means using the best beard products."
Here at Barber industries Cameron Park we recommend the three beard wash products in the Proraso Single Blade Series. Each of these products features a unique fragrance. You can choose between azur lime, wood & spice, or cypress & vetyver. If you have any questions regarding beard wash or beard grooming in general, please feel free to get in touch with our team of master barbers, we are ready to help seven days a week at the Cameron Park Plaza.
A Final Word From The Barber
An important thing to note is that while it offers many benefits and you should definitely use beard wash instead of regular shampoo or soap for beard grooming, this product is not formulated to replace the use of beard oil or balms. Instead, it is made to compliment them as a part of your regular beard care routine.
