Start by separating the skin from the hair. Moisturising, conditioning and grooming work together, but knowing which part needs attention makes the routine much easier.
When your beard feels coarse.
A beard can look tidy and still feel rough to the touch. Conditioning helps soften the hair and makes grooming more comfortable.
Druff Anti Dandruff Beard Oil is designed for both jobs. Its plant-oil blend moisturises dry-feeling skin underneath and conditions the beard above it.
When the skin feels tight or flaky.
Check whether the tightness starts after washing and whether your leave-on care reaches the skin. It's easy to coat the beard while missing the chin and jaw beneath it.
Best applied after a shower or a wash with warm water, while your skin and beard are still slightly damp. Warm the oil between your palms before applying. Use your fingertips to work it into the skin underneath, covering the whole beard area, then smooth what's left through the hair. Morning and evening. The short-beard guide shows how.
When the hair won't sit right.
Use a brush or comb to arrange the beard and distribute your conditioning product. For shape and length, a trim can make the biggest difference. Oil softens the hair; a styling product supplies hold when that's what you need.
Work with the direction of growth and keep brush strokes light. The aim is an orderly beard, without scraping the skin.
When it keeps coming back.
Persistent redness, sore bumps or patchy hair loss aren't a grooming problem. Stop anything that irritates.
