Prioritise Beard Cleanliness

Keeping your beard clean is essential for athletes, given the increased exposure to sweat, dirt, and bacteria. Here are some steps to ensure your beard remains clean after any physical activity:

Thoroughly rinse your beard with water to eliminate sweat, dirt, and debris.

Use a high-quality beard shampoo (like Braw Beard Wash) 2-3 times a week for a thorough cleanse without compromising your beard's natural oils.

After drying post-wash, apply Braw Beard oil to keep your beard soft, moisturised, and manageable.

Regular Beard Trimming

Consider regular trimming if your beard comes into contact with people of objects, e.g. wearing a helmet, MMA, martial arts, ice hockey etc. Here are some pointers for a well-trimmed beard:

Aim for a monthly beard trim, depending on your preferred beard length and style.

Visit a trusted barber to achieve the desired look.

Pay special attention to maintaining clean and defined neck and cheek lines.

Beard Moisturisation and Nourishment

Proper moisturisation and nourishment are crucial for a healthy beard, particularly for athletes prone to dryness, itchiness, and irritation due to sweat and exposure. Follow these steps:

Daily apply a 100% natural beard oil like, Braw Beard oil or Braw Beard Butter to moisturise and nourish your facial hair and the underlying skin.

Choose products with natural ingredients, like jojoba oil, argan oil, and shea butter, known for their soothing and protective qualities.

For very sensitive skin, choose unscented beard care products.

Equip with Suitable Beard Care Tools

The right tools are indispensable for maintaining a healthy beard. Here are some must-haves for athletes:

Beard brush: A beard brush with natural bristles helps detangle, exfoliate, and evenly distribute beard oil.

Beard comb: An anti-static, wooden wide-toothed beard comb is ideal for detangling and reducing knots in your beard.

Sweatband: Consider using a Brawthersnood as a sweatband during workouts to avoid sweat from dripping into your beard and causing irritation.

Embrace a Healthy Diet

Diet plays a crucial role in promoting beard growth and health. A balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as proteins and omega-3 fatty acids, can improve hair quality and stimulate hair growth.

Addressing Athlete-Specific Beard Concerns

Athletes often encounter specific beard-related issues requiring extra care:

Beard "acne": Ensure your beard remains clean to avoid breakouts. If acne persists, consider seeking professional advice from a dermatologist.

By adhering to these guidelines, athletes can maintain a stylish, healthy beard even amidst sports and outdoor activities. A little dedication and effort can ensure that your beard remains at its best, complementing your active lifestyle.
