At Wild Willies, we understand that a healthy beard begins with healthy skin. While we love every shape, style, and thickness of the versatile face mane, we want to ensure that all beard-growers know the critical steps in skin care and the importance of hygiene to healthy beard growth. Face cleansers are vital to ensuring proper hygiene throughout your beard life.
While cleansers and other tools help protect the skin, many men do not see the need to use such products when soaps have worked fine for their entire lives. First off, bar soap is not necessarily the best cleanser for your face, and second, even when relying on soap, you also should focus on moisturization. There are at least four reasons to use a cleanser, especially when you have a beard.
1. Face Cleansers Help Fight Acne
It is no secret that your natural neck warmer is prone to debris collection. You likely can't eat a saltine without leaving some trail to your Adam's apple. Whether food or microscopic pollutants, all that debris can irritate your skin. While someone with a bare neck doesn't need to worry too much about such things, a beard holds and collects particles and debris, keeping it close to the skin.
Cleansers are essentially washes. The products are scrubbed through the beard and rubbed onto the skin underneath. They help exfoliate and clean the skin's surface, reducing the risks of irritation or inflammation.
2. Washes and Moisturizers Fight Bacteria
Fighting inflammation is not the only benefit of using cleansers and other skin care products like moisturizers. A face wash also helps fight the collection of harmful bacteria on the skin.
Bacteria can result in breakouts, infections, and other adverse reactions. Cleansers and washes help kill and remove bacteria. With bacteria eliminated, the skin cells are free to absorb the necessary nutrients and oils to produce a healthy complexion.
3. Face Cleansers Reduce the Wear of Pollution
While many people have heard the term free radicals, they might not understand it regarding health, biology, and skin care. Free radicals are damaging chemical agents typically produced from pollution. The chemicals damage the skin and lead to rapid aging and sagging.
Because cleansers remove free radicals from the skin and help counter their adverse effects, the products help preserve a youthful complexion and appearance. Cleansers protect against premature sagging and damage.
4. Moisturizers and Cleansers Ensure Hydration and Nutrient Control
Your beautiful face blanket is a sight to behold, but it does come at a cost. A beard can prevent adequate nutrition and hydration of the skin beneath, which is why you need to supplement and manage the process. Cleansers, exfoliators, and moisturizers are the key elements of skin care when you have a beard.
At Wild Willies, we want you and your beard looking and feeling your best all the time. We offer a variety of face cleansers, moisturizers, exfoliators, and oils to ensure skin and beard health. If you have any other beard care concerns or questions, check out our blog for more information.
