What is Dry Skin Under Beard and How To Prevent It?

The urge of scratching or constant scratching is a sign of dry skin.  Another sign can be parched or tight skin, which you may feel when you smile.  Since you might have noticed any of the signs, you would agree with us that dry/itchy skin irritates a lot.

Besides, failing to curb dry skin under the beard can make your skin flaky, resulting in beard dandruff.  It is a more serious problem than beard itch since it is visible and can ruin your facial hair look.

But don’t worry, we have got you covered on your worries about how to deal with dry skin under the beard and how to deal with beard dandruff.  It requires following a few steps and the use of the right beard care product to prevent beard itch and protect the skin beneath. These products have good vitamins for a beard!

Before that, let’s discuss the causes of dry skin underneath your beard.  It is crucial to know the causes to overcome the problems.

Why is Your Skin Dry?

To cure a problem, you need to understand the cause of it.  You need to understand what the beard and the skin type under the beard are going through daily, which gives birth to such problems.  

Firstly, let us understand what makes facial skin dry?  The hair follicles underneath your beard are attached to glands called sebaceous glands.  These glands produce sebum oil essential for moisturizing your skin and follicles.  If proper moisture is not available, then the beard would flake, and the skin will become dry.  Skin flakes would be visible.  As our beard area grows, it is not that itchy for the first couple of weeks, and it feels kind of soft and smooth.  It is because the sebaceous glands produce a good amount of oil to keep the beard nourished.

There is no need to use any additional beard products to keep the beard hydrated at an early stage as the sebaceous glands can produce enough oil.

But the problem starts occurring when the beard grows a bit longer.  It is because the sebaceous glands are of finite size.

The sebum oil won’t be able to moisturize and hydrate the long facial hair, and ultimately, the skin would begin to dry up.  There is nothing to worry about here as it is a natural part of the beard-growing process.  Though other factors affect the speed of this process and stress out the sebaceous glands, which are as follows:

Using Detergents On Your Beard

Detergents mean the soap and shampoo that you might use on your beard.  Some men use regular soaps and shampoos on their beards, which contain chemicals.  Plus, it is not necessary to use shampoo every day.  While guys do get tempted to use shampoo on their beards, you should try and avoid it as it will strip all the important vitamins and minerals from your beard that get produced naturally.  Ultimately, it will cause beard itch and beard dandruff.

Frequent Washing

Washing your face too often may also strip away the natural oil and make your beard and skin dry.  You must wash your face twice a day, once in the morning and the other before sleeping.  The lack of sebum oil will make the beard and skin underneath dry, resulting in beard itch and beard dandruff.

Long Facial Hair

As discussed, the sebum oil production is finite, which means it can nourish your facial mane to some length, but if the beard grows beyond that length, the sebum oil fails to nourish them.  The sebaceous glands fail to keep up the production, which results in dryness under the beard.  Soon, your facial hair will have white snowy flakes, aka beard dandruff.

Products Stripping Natural Oil

Another reason for beard dandruff and beard itch that results in dry skin under the beard could be the use of products that unknowingly strip away sebum oil.  It can be detergent as well.  We recommend using natural ingredients made of beard products.  A few of the ingredients are castor oil, coconut oil, and olive fruit oil.  Having them in your beard care product means ensuring that you are using the best and safest product.

Weather

Unknowingly, even the weather contributes to skin dryness. If you are living in extremely hot or humid weather, you might sweat, and rubbing it will lose moisture, resulting in dryness, itching, irritation, and beard dandruff.  Besides, even cold weather may dry your skin, which is why most of the cold cream companies have more sales in Winters.

Stress Levels

Another way to overcome dryness under your beard is by reducing stress levels.  If the stress level is high, there is an increase in cortisol level, resulting in excess oil production.  The greasy residue will further clog pores. Besides, the excess oil production may strip away the natural skin-producing oil.  Furthermore, the high-stress levels may also hinder beard growth.  We recommend massaging, meditating, and underground aromatherapy to reduce stress levels.

Sunburn

Lastly, sunburn is one of the reasons for dry skin under the beard.  When the UV rays penetrate the beard hair and reach the follicles, it will result in sunburns.  It will cause your skin to dry out by giving birth to itchiness and dryness.

So these are factors that contribute to dry skin under the beard.  To curb the problem and proudly flaunt your bushy beard, we have brought you a single product that will overcome dryness and other related problems.

Effective Product Against Dry Skin Under Beard

After trying out different beard care products, we are highly satisfied and recommend this unique product (Cardon’s Bamboo Charcoal Mask + Beard Oil), which is entirely different from beard grooming products.

Product Detail:

• Pack of 4 Masks + Beard Oil
• Made in Korea

It is a face mask made up of key ingredients (Charcoal, Cactus extracts, Niacinamide, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract), along with beard oil that conditions and hydrates your facial hair.  The combo package delivers promising results.

Now you might be thinking, why use a face mask and not any other beard grooming product(s)?

Firstly, the face mask is quite budget-friendly, which will save hundreds of bucks that you would otherwise spend on buying different beard grooming products to curb the dry skin problem.

Secondly, both the mask and beard oil contain natural ingredients essential for dry skin under the beard.

Now let’s review each product individually.

How Does Cardon’s Beard Oil Help Dry Skin?

Beard oil is another product that comes with this combo.  It aims to moisturize, hydrate, and nourish the lower part of the face.  The oil is a blend of Argan oil, Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Oil, and Grapeseed Oil that deeply conditions your dry hair and skin.  Also, it strengthens them against damage, breakage, or split-ends.

1. Argan Oil

Argan oil is one of the best ingredients that fight against beard dandruff.  Along with eliminating beard dandruff, it even softens and tames dry, wiry beard.  Plus, it works as a natural moisturizer for your dry skin.

2. Jojoba Oil

As said earlier, dry skin under the beard is the reason why your face may be irritating, and the cause is a lack of natural skin-producing oil.  To fulfill the sebum oil requirement, you may use jojoba oil as it replicates the sebum oil.  Jojoba oil delivers the same nutrients and minerals that sebum oil offers to hair follicles. It will ensure the skin under your beard isn’t dried.

3. Sunflower Oil

The primary job of sunflower oil is to prevent breakage and stop hair loss.  The oil is rich in Omega 3, fatty acids, and Vitamin A, B, C, and E.  These ingredients ensure that the facial hair remains soft, nourished, and moisturized.

4. Grapeseed Oil

Grapeseed oil boosts beard growth.  Apart from these, applying this oil would save you from hair loss as it blocks the DHT production, which is responsible for hair loss.

How to Apply Cardon Beard Oil?

Since both the beard oil and mask are to be applied simultaneously, washing the face before applying goes without saying.

The package states using the beard oil first and then applying the face mask.

Pour the beard oil into your hands and spread it across.  Do not take it all in one go, as it might make your beard greasy.  Now gently massage on the surface of the skin and tips of facial hair.  This way, you would be able to moisturize the lower part of the face and eliminate dry skin under the beard.

Now you might be wondering how to deal with the upper part of your face.  For that, we have something unique and distinctive from other grooming products. 

What is Bamboo Charcoal Mask?

The Bamboo Charcoal Mask is a half mask covering the forehead, nose, eyes, and half part of the cheeks.  Unlike other face masks, this mask nourishes, soothes, and hydrates your skin.

The mask is also known as a serum-packed mask but is way better than applying serum on the face.  There are chances of ingredients evaporating while applying serum on the face, but with the use of this sheet mask, your dry skin gets the benefits of all the powerful ingredients.

The sheet mask will not only soothe your dry skin internally but also protect your skin from unwanted particles.

All the credit goes to different natural ingredients that are combined to make up the mask.

So, let us make you familiar with the ingredients:

1. Niacinamide

Before knowing how it protects, you must know who gets the maximum out of Niacinamide.

The ingredient is beneficial to:

• Oily skin or enlarges pores guys
• Outdoor person, exposed to sunlight, pollutants, UV rays, and toxins
• Clean-shave enthusiasts, who frequently shave and suffer from redness and inflammation
• Dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles

2. Cactus Extracts

Cactus are prickly when you touch them but are the prime ingredients when it comes to soothing dry skin.  It has anti-aging, hydrating, skin-firming, and soothing properties.  Also, the cactus is rich in Vitamin A, D, E, K, and electrolytes.

Cactus extracts work amazingly well on dry skin as it hydrates and fights against unwanted particles.  Even if you wear a mask and go out for work or walk, the mask tends to protect you from everything unwanted.

3. Camellia Japonica Flower Extract

It is rich in Palmitic, Omega-6 Linoleic Fatty acids, and anti-aging antioxidants.  Plus, the non-greasiness makes it a good moisturizer for dry skin.  The ingredient is found in Korea and China, which is why it is a key ingredient in this Korean Skincare product.

How to Use Bamboo Charcoal Face Mask?

Using this mask is simple and easy.  We have listed down the steps below based on our personal experience and gained a lot of benefits.

Step 1: Wash Your Face

We would advise you to wash your face with high-quality beard moisturizers.  Use a towel to pat dry your face.  Washing will remove dirt or grime, allowing the mask’s serum to penetrate the skin.

Step 2: Take out the Mask

Take out and unfold the mask.  The best thing we like about the mask is there is no single side to wear it.  Both sides are wearable.  In our opinion, the best way to wear the mask is to fit your eyes into the holes given for it.  Expand the slits and wrap the nose.  Customize the mask according to your face shape.

Step 3: Leave It

After applying the mask to the face, leave it for 15-20 minutes.  If you keep it for more time, there’s no harm.  We have kept it for more than an hour and continued doing our work.  Once you remove the mask, gently pat the remaining essence on the face.

Now you might be thinking of how often you should use the face mask?

In our experience, we have started noticing results after using it twice a week, so we would recommend using it two times per week for the optimum results.

Here is the video tutorial of Cardon Bamboo Charcoal Face Mask:

Both the products contain only natural ingredients.  Even the packaging clearly states that the products are free from Parabens, Sulfates, and Silicone.  

So this is how you can use Cardon Bamboo Charcoal Face Mask + Beard Oil to fight against dry skin under the beard.
