Beards are a sensitive topic for many men. Even more men tend not to give their beards the tender love and care it deserves. That’s why it’s so important that you keep your beard clean, moisturized and well taken care of. If ingrown hairs and razor burns are a routine problem for you, a proper exfoliation routine might just be the solution you’re looking for. Here are 4 ways to exfoliate that beautiful beard of yours.
Scrub & Soap
You can use a scrub or soap that contains glycolic acid or salicylic acid (the active ingredient in aspirin). These products will help remove dead skin cells so that new ones can grow in their place.
They also have bleaching properties that help lighten any dark spots caused by sun exposure or age spots from too much time spent in the sun during childhood or early adulthood. This will make your beard appear more vibrant and healthy looking!

Brush
You can also use a scrubbing brush with natural bristles to remove dead skin cells and stimulate blood flow to the surface of your face. This will help promote new growth and make your beard appear fuller and healthier looking.

Process
You can use a loofah sponge or washcloth with warm water in circular motions to exfoliate your face. This will also help stimulate blood flow to the surface of your skin, promoting new growth of follicles that produce hair for a thicker and fuller-looking beard!

Post-Game Routine
Moisturize your beard using an oil-based moisturizer like olive oil or coconut oil. Massage it into your skin and let it soak in before going to bed (or whenever you’ll be sleeping). This will help keep your skin soft so that it doesn’t crack when you apply exfoliating products later on.
