How to Overcome the Itchy Beard Phase

How to Overcome the Itchy Beard Phase

The itchy beard phase is a common struggle that many bearded men face. From dryness to irritation, this phase can sometimes be unbearable, leading some to consider shaving it off. However, there is good news! You can conquer this issue with the proper care, quality products, and patience and enjoy your beard in all its glory. Below, we've outlined a comprehensive guide to help you triumph over your itchy beard phase.

Understanding the Itchy Beard Phase

1. What Causes Beard Itch?

  • New Hair Growth: As new hair breaks through the skin, it can cause inflammation and itchiness.
  • Ingrown Hairs: Sometimes, new hair grows sideways or back on itself, leading to irritation.
  • Dry Skin: Lack of moisture can result in dryness and dandruff, or "beardruff."
  • Chemical Damage: Cheap beard oils with chemicals and alcohol can worsen the condition.

2. Symptoms

  • Redness and irritation
  • Constant urge to scratch
  • Flaky skin

How to Stop the Itch: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose the Right Products

  • Invest in Quality Beard Oil: Braw Beard oils are 100% natural and made from beneficial ingredients such as hempseed, jojoba, and vitamin E. These oils soothe, moisturise, and stimulate hair growth.
  • Avoid Cheap, Chemical-filled Products: These can further dry and irritate the skin.

2. Adopt a Care Routine

  • Wash Regularly: Use an all-natural beard wash like Braw Beard Wash to keep the beard clean and moisturised.
  • Brush Your Beard: A medium-strength bristle brush will exfoliate the skin and detangle the hair.
  • Condition with Braw Beard Oil: Apply daily to keep the skin supple and the hair nourished.
  • Hydrate: Drinking enough water is critical to hydrating hair follicles.

3. Follow a Personalised Routine

  • Morning Routine: Consider a regimen that includes washing, towel drying, applying beard oil, combing, using beard butter, and brushing.
  • Experiment and Find What Works Best for You: Some may find instant relief, while others might need a few days.

Tattoo Balm Pot
Brilliant

After getting a few new tattoos I thought I would give this balm a try. Wish I had gotten this product earlier. Really does help with the healing and also works well on my older tattoos

GETTAE Midge Repellent Braw Beard Oil 50ml
Brilliant!

Received the gettae beard oil and brush as a gift recently and couldn't be more impressed! As someone with a rather frizzy beard fresh out the shower it helps tame the fly aways, keeps the hair and skin well moisturised, smells amazing and keeps insects away while out and about during the day! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Keepin' It Peel Improved Hold Beard Butter
Great butter !

The new butter ! As for the vanilla and unscented ones, the oil and butter base is great for both the skin and beard. It leaves a smoothing sensation on the skin/beard and you can also use it for the lips or any dry skin area. I like the new citrusy scent, it goes well with my Jarls Northman Braw oil.

Great woody scent !

As always the base oil made of Hempseed, Argan and Jojoba carrier oils is great. It’s really great for beard hair and the skin underneath. I like the scent, it really smells like a fresh pine forest and always add a little shine to the beard. Using only natural essential oils is what makes these products so good for the beard and skin. And I learnt about the Battle of Largs.

I find as I get older the drier and flakier I've become and beardruff was a real issue! Instant relief from the itch and removal of the druff. Great product.

Unscented Improved Hold Beard Butter
My favorite butter for my beard !

I’ve had the three Braw butters and this one is my favorite. It’s really moisturising for both the beard and the skin. The unscented version makes it perfect for sensitive skin like mine and it still smells great just from the natural ingredients. It makes the beard so soft and gentle with a little shine to it. You can use it on any other face or body skin and hair. I personally also use it for my lips. This product is really versatile. I would like bigger cans but as you get a discount for adding one it’s still affordable. This butter really leaves a warming sensation on my beard which is very pleasant to me.

Braw Beard Brush
Great brush !

This brush is great. It’s 100% boar bristles which is the best for beard and haircare. It really feels soft on my sensitive skin whereas other brushes I tried before were too stiff and harsh for my skin. The wavy shape of the brush is really great for the chin and neck area because it can follow the curves down the beard. The pocket size makes it easy to travel with. The price is affordable compared to some other brushes made from higher end woods than bamboo like this one.
