Beard Care Tips for Summer

With summer in full swing, you’ve likely been outside enjoying everything the season has to offer - but has your beard been getting the TLC it needs to remain healthy and stylish in the heat?

Summer weather can bring about a range of issues for your facial hair, from dry skin to sticky BBQ smells. We’ve got some tips and tricks to help you and your beard embrace the weather and stay feeling fresh and well-groomed.

All About Hydration

We often sing the praises of hydration for your skin, but your beard needs it too! Summer heat can have a dehydrating effect on your beard, drying it out and leaving it prone to breakage. Drinking plenty of water is a great way to ensure you are hydrated on the inside, but for an extra boost, we’d recommend a beard balm. This will provide a much-needed hit of moisture to the hairs from the follicle upwards, helping to reduce the chance of a brittle, broken beard.

Keeping Cool on the Go

It can be tough to keep feeling fresh when you’re out and about in hot weather. As you sweat, your beard can become itchy and certain summer-related smells can stick to the air (BBQ beard anyone?). A helpful tip is to keep a beard comb and travel sized beard balm in your backpack so you can maintain freshness and reduce frizz wherever you are.

Choose a beard balm that contains ingredients designed to help cool and soothe the skin beneath your beard, like our Original Beard Balm, which is made from 96% natural ingredients. One of these ingredients is aloe vera, a plant known for its moisturising and soothing properties.

Style and Trim Often

To keep your beard looking and feeling healthy, a frequent trim is a good idea. Beards can feel heavy in the hot weather, and you can improve comfort by keeping it well-groomed. A good pair of beard scissors or a high-quality trimmer is a must for all beard enthusiasts, but you might need to get them out a little more often when the weather changes. Check out our recent blog about trimming your beard neckline for a step–by-step guide to keeping it defined.

We’d recommend our Original Beard Oil as part of your beard care styling arsenal. Just like the other products in our beard care range, it contains a blend of natural ingredients to help tame frizz, improve shine, and leave your beard feeling soft and cared-for.

Wash and Condition

Just like the hair on your head, your beard needs to be washed and conditioned regularly, more so when it’s hot. Sweat and oils can be absorbed into your beard, which makes regular washing a must.

Beard shampoo and conditioner should be a key part of your grooming routine; it’ll add much-needed moisture as well as stripping away any sweat or debris you might have picked up. Choose a product with natural ingredients and light, refreshing scent to ensure you’re looking great and feeling nourished throughout the season.
