Having a beard in the winter is not only sexy, but practical too. It has so many benefits in the cold that we feel sorry for our clean-shaven brothers for missing out.
Keeps you warm
Walking outside during winter isn’t always pleasant. You can cover up your body, but bulling your face with a scarf can be pretty annoying when you’re breathing. And you definitely wouldn’t want to miss an outing or a party because of an inconvenience that can be easily solved with a beard. It will be your natural scarf keeping you safe and warm from the strong breeze.
Protects from wind burn
Wind burns are not actually from wind. They are in fact simply sunburns that we get in cold weather. It’s most common on the face, since that’s often the only exposed piece of skin in winter. If you’re a bearded man, then you have solid covering. One study found that facial hair blocks 90-95% of UV rays, rendering you supreme over the powers of the sun. Amazing huh?
Beards have also so many “cozy” benefits during winter, but we’ll get to that in another post 😉
