Why does the beard suffer more in winter?
Cold air contains less moisture, which dries out the beard. Additionally:
- Frequent transitions between heat and cold stress the skin
- Wool scarves and collars mechanically damage the beard
- Heating at home and at work dries out the air
Basic winter care
1. Hydration is key
Use beard oil daily, even twice a day in winter. The oil protects the beard from dehydration and gives it shine.
2. Balm as a protective layer
Beard balm creates protective barrier against wind and cold. Apply before going outside.
3. Gentle wash
Wash the beard with lukewarm water, hot water dries. Use special beard shampoo, not regular hair shampoo.
4. Brushing
Regular brushing distributes natural oils and stimulates the skin. Brush more gently in winter.
Extra tips for frosty days
- Air humidifier: An investment that pays off not only for the beard
- Scarf correctly: Do not press the scarf directly on the beard
- Sufficient fluids: Hydration from the inside is just as important
