Beards, whether long and Vikingesque, or pared back and neat, have had a surge in popularity in recent years. Many newly converted beard-lovers are not yet up to speed on everything that needs to be done to keep them under control. When it comes to keeping your facial hair clean, neat and tidy, all while smelling great and feeling comfortable, your beard grooming kit is your best friend. Find out what the best beard grooming kits are on Mankind, and what beardcare essentials you need at your disposal.
What you need in your Beard Grooming Kit
- Face Scrub - your scrub will help to remove any dead and flaky skin from underneath the beard, helping to ensure optimal beard health and avoiding breakouts and irritation that make the beard uncomfortable.
- Beard Shampoo - this is responsible for your daily beard cleansing needs, removing sebum and dirt from the beard hair shaft itself.
- Beard Conditioner - particularly if your beard is dry or coarse, or if you tend to suffer from dry skin, the conditioner will soften and hydrate your beard, making growth much more comfortable.
- Beard Oil - for most, a beard oil will be all that's necessary to keep your beard soft and hydrated, reducing the itchiness which is common throughout the growth process. On top of that, it adds the ideal amount of natural shine, and smells fantastic.
- Beard Brush - not brushing your beard is a rookie error. Unless your facial hair is unusually straight and/or fine, your beard is extremely likely to become tangled, develop knots, and cling on to food, dirt, and other unpleasant things. Brushes counteract this, and what's more, they add style and control to the beard that is almost certainly absent from your natural look.
- BeardTrimmer - perhaps the most commonly observed beard sin is growing it out in full without shaving a neckline or tidying up the edges. The beard should square off your jawline, create structure, and accentuate the angles of your face. Using a beard trimmer to keep on top of neck growth and stray hairs is crucial to stop you from resembling Oscar the Grouch.
