Do you work in a dusty environment? Do you suffer from a constantly dirty beard?
With some construction workers getting the go ahead to get back to work recently, we've had an influx of messages about beard care in dirty environments. We've had emails from gardeners, joiners, labourers etc.
They all ask the same thing, "at work, how do I avoid a dirty beard and are there steps I should take to help?"
You are going to get a dirty beard
If you work in a dusty environment, with cement, wood etc, you are going to get a dirty beard, there's no avoiding it (unless you wear a neck gaiter/snood).
But there are steps you can take to ensure the best cleanliness as possible during your workday.
Let me offer advice and explain the reasons below.
In the morning before work.
Wash your beard with water, give it a rinse with water only, then gently towel dry it.
Don't use Braw Beard Wash here, save it for a wash when you get home, it will be more beneficial then.
Once your beard is dry, apply some of your favourite Braw Beard oil to condition and moisturise your beard as normal. Comb or brush that through as normal too. If your beard is long, consider tying it down to make the surface area smaller than usual. A smaller surface area will catch less dust and dirt.
I'd recommend against using beard balm or butter before working in a dusty environment. The wax element may cause dust to stick to your beard making it feel horrible. Braw Beard butter is a great moisturiser but we'll save that for later when you get home.
At work
Throughout your work day, your beard is going to hold onto some dirt and dust, just the same way your head hair, eyebrows and arm hair does, it happens. I've been there myself several times.
What I do recommend is taking a bottle of beard oil and a brush to work with you (leave it in your locker, in a bag or wherever else you keep belongings at work). At lunchtime, gently brush your beard to get residual dirt out. Next apply a little beard oil and brush through again to evenly distribute the oil in your beard. This will moisturise you hair and skin below, keeping it clean and avoiding irritation later in the day.
You may get funny looks but hey, don't we all?
At home afterwards to clean your dirty beard
Once you get home from working in a dusty environment, the first thing you will want to do is wash out that dirt.
Now is the time of the day to use the Braw Beard Wash. Jump in the shower or bath and wash your beard thoroughly with Braw Beard Wash. It has aloe vera added and is made with organic ingredients.
Which means it helps reduce dandruff while cleaning your beard effectively. Just what your beard needs after a tough day.
Once you beard is towel dried, apply some of your favourite Braw Beard oil. It is non-greasy and has only natural ingredients, chosen for their beneficial properties. Which means it nourishes your facial hair from root to tip.
Either use a comb or gently brush your beard to detangle the hair after washing.
Now is the time of your day to apply Braw Beard Butter. It is made with natural ingredients, chosen for their beneficial properties. This product is deep conditioning, while gently holding stray hairs in place to maintain a neat looking beard. The perfect way to treat your beard and restore its faith in you. Lastly, brush through again. This will give the beard full oil and butter coverage, separating the hairs, offering maximum volume.
Now go and enjoy the rest of your day with your glorious beard.
I hope this article has offered some tips and advice for beard care while working in dusty environments.

I have been using Braw beard products for 6 months now and have noticed a vast improvement in my beard game. My beard is looking healthy and feeling the best it has ever felt!
I 1000% recommend Braw beard. Not only are the beard products top notch, but the merch is too.
Keep up the amazing work! I am so happy to be part of the Brawtherhood. Keep it bearded legends 🤘👍
The new Braw t-shirt with the tragic O'Hara design on the chest part is a great design and makes it classy. The back would even look better if it were possible to inject some colour
Keepin' it peel is a great addition to the line up of Beard Butters avalable from Braw Beard, with the summer months on the way, keepin' it peel is a nice fragrant zesty scent, nice and fresh for those long,warm summer days, keeps your beard looking and smelling amazing.
The large beard Gold level Quarterly subscription box is a great product, especially if you are a bit forgetful like me, with the subscription box I know that every 3 months I'm guarnteed to get my essential beard care supplies, with the added bonus of 3 free shipping codes if I do need to top up in between subscription deliveries.
Whilst I've had success keeping the midgies off with the Jamie Coward beard oil this is by far more effective. A wee dod on your arms and legs doesn't do any harm either to keep the beasties at bay.
Thanks Braw Beard!!
I’d always used “high street banded” products on my beard and typically I didn’t buy them for myself e.g… Christmas gift sets etc… from family members. Recently my beard became unbearably itchy it was flaky and felt like a Brillo pad. I’ve been using the Beardruff Buster Pack for around a week now and although it’s early days there’s a noticeable difference in the condition of my Beard, the itching has basically gone already and there are no longer visible flakes on my teeshirt. I’ve no doubt that in a couple more weeks there will be zero flakes and no itchiness given how well the shampoo and oil has done its job in just 1 week. The missus likes how it smells too 😂 cheers guys I’ll be buying more once this lots run out 👍
I can't fault your shampoo. I have been bearded on an off for 15 years ish I have used loads of products even been a brand ambassador to a small home made beard care company. I have never had half the complements on my beard. Whatever the cost I've tried expensive through to the cheapest on the market. Nothing I have used in my time is even close keep up the good work brother.
Hi everyone. I'm weirdo wayne. Been growing my beard for 2years months now. I have tried lots of different stuff for beard. But I found brawbeard last years october/november and it has been a beard game changer. The oils and butters /balms are 1st to none. The brush is a beard life changer too. Beard sits and stays styled all night on my bus. Get great compliments. Best thing i found a new beard family and they have let me in the Brawtherhood. Even just going to there beard competition early this year has just made me fall inlove with my chin fringe. Big love to the Braw beard family.
Absolutely love your stuff JJ just recieved my new anniversary oil and limited tee shirt love them both. Cantcwait for the new brawnson design hat go come out thats alresdy in the basket. Keep up the outstanding work guys and JJ yer some man..🤘
