Seeing you constantly scratch your itchy beard is definitely not a beautiful sight and we’re sure you’re not happy either. But you’re not alone, it’s a common thing that happens to all men growing a beard. Why does it itch? How can you overcome it? You won’t know unless you keep reading.
What causes itchy beard syndrome?
If you’re used to shaving then you know how irritating your hair becomes as it starts to grow. Your skin becomes dryer and the hairs are thicker. The primary beard growing phase also causes dryness and encourages the face to collect dust as well as dead skin and that’s how it starts to itch. You can’t avoid it all the time, but you can definitely overcome it and deal with it as it comes.
How can you handle it?
Wash your beard regularly, starting by exfoliating first. Using a great beard soap you’ll be able to clean from the skin beneath the beard up to the hairs while keeping it moisturised. As you wash, you’re going to want to gently do it without stripping your beard hair of its natural sebum oils. And if you really want to extinguish the itch, grooming is vital to get rid of any itchiness, which means investing in a quality beard oil or balm is necessary to fight flaking and protect your skin from any external toxic elements.
Needless to say, part of properly grooming your beard is combing it at least once per day depending on its length and thickness. Don’t brush too hard because you want to preserve the healthy hairs.
