Do Men Really Need Skincare & Beard Care? 👀

Since men’s skin is thicker and oilier compared to women’s, it is more prone to damage. Add facial hair to the mix, and you face challenges such as dryness under the beard, ingrown hairs, irritation, beard dandruff, and so much more.

Skipping skincare can lead to:

• Dehydrated and unhealthy skin.
• A rough, unmanageable beard.
• Increased irritation and itchiness.
• Acne and ingrown hairs.

Skincare isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about long-term health. Neglecting proper care can accelerate signs of ageing, leave your skin dull, and even lead to more serious conditions like infections or chronic irritation. By starting a routine now, you’re investing in a healthier, more confident future self!

Now that you’ve got the gist let’s break it down step by step.

Step 1️⃣: Cleanse Thoroughly

Why it matters: A gentle cleanser not only removes dirt, oil, and impurities but also gets rid of pesky dead cells that clog pores.
 
How to do it:

• Use a gentle face wash that cleanses and protects. Avoid harsh soaps that strip your skin of natural oils and cause wrinkles or premature ageing. Opt for natural ingredients, not harmful chemicals—like Adigo Swoop Face Wash, made with Jojoba Oil, Lemon Extract, Turmeric Extract, Glycerin, and Allantoin.
• Massage the cleanser into your skin and beard, ensuring you reach the skin underneath.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Pro Tip: Never, ever wash your face with hot water. It causes dryness, harms the skin barrier, and accelerates ageing.

Step 2️⃣: Exfoliate Weekly

Why it matters: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores and ingrown hairs. It’s especially beneficial for reducing beard flakiness.

How to do it:

• Use a scrub once or twice a week. Focus on areas prone to dryness or flakiness, such as under the beard. Investing in a product like Adigo Swoop Face Scrub, which works on all skin types, is a great option.
• Be gentle to avoid irritating your skin. Do not pinch or pull at it—it’ll only cause harm.

Step 3️⃣: Moisturise Daily

Why it matters: Hydration is crucial for both skin and beard health. Moisturised skin is less prone to irritation, and a hydrated beard is softer and easier to groom.

How to do it:

• After cleansing, apply a nourishing moisturiser suitable for your skin type. Choose a product that hydrates without leaving a sticky residue.
• For your beard, use a beard oil that hydrates and nourishes the skin beneath. Adigo Beard Oil, for example, promotes beard growth while conditioning facial hair.
• Massage the moisturiser and oil thoroughly for even absorption and to increase circulation. Use a wooden comb to distribute the oil evenly through your beard.

Pro Tip: Look for moisturisers that are gentle yet nourishing. Beard oils with Almond or Argan Oil are excellent for conditioning facial hair.

Step 4️⃣: Beard Grooming 101

Why it matters: A well-groomed beard complements your look and eliminates issues like beardruff, flakiness, or itchiness.

How to do it:

• Trim regularly: Keep your beard neat with quality grooming tools.
• Comb daily: Use a beard comb to detangle and evenly distribute products.
• Condition: Apply a beard oil or serum to keep your beard soft and manageable.

Pro Tip: Trim your beard after a shower when the hair is softer and easier to manage.

Step 5️⃣: Protect With SPF

Why it matters: Sun damage is a leading cause of premature ageing and skin issues. Protecting your skin and beard is essential when stepping out in the sun.

How to do it:

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to all exposed areas, including the skin around your beard. Adigo Swoop Sunscreen is a great choice—it doesn’t even leave a white cast!

• If your beard is long, ensure the sunscreen reaches the skin beneath.

Pro Tip: Opt for a lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen to avoid clogged pores.

Step 6️⃣: Night-time Repair

Why it matters: Night-time is when your skin repairs itself. Using targeted treatments can address dryness, acne, or patchiness.

How to do it:

• Cleanse your face and beard before bed to remove dirt, grime, and excess oil.
• Apply a night-time moisturiser suited to your skin type.
• Apply a small amount of beard oil for overnight hydration.

Elevate Your Routine With Supplements

If you want to take your skincare and beard care to the next level, consider adding supplements to your daily routine. Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and biotin are excellent for skin elasticity and beard growth. Drinking plenty of water and eating a balanced diet rich in Vitamins A, C, and E will also boost your results.

Choosing the Best Beard Products

Your beard deserves as much attention as your skin. Selecting the right products is only half the job; knowing how to use them effectively is the key.

• Beard Oil: Massage a few drops into your beard. Use a wooden comb for even distribution.
• Beard Spray: Spray onto a comb and run it through your beard for a polished look.
• Shaving Foam: Choose one that hydrates and prevents irritation—like Adigo Shaving Foam, made with Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil.
