Many men are not very meticulous about facial cleansing. A bit of warm water, a little cleansing gel, and done. However, it makes perfect sense to pay much more attention to cleansing and to consider exfoliating before shaving. Exfoliating before shaving has several benefits for both the beard and the skin underneath.

We want to show you how beard exfoliation works and how you can benefit from it.

What are the benefits of beard exfoliation?

A healthy, full beard growth is only possible if the skin underneath is also healthy. Our skin layer renews itself approximately every 30 days. Old skin particles are shed in the form of flakes.

Depending on skin type, as well as lifestyle and environmental influences, these skin flakes are not always shed evenly. Especially when a dense beard covers the skin, it may be that a normal cleansing gel or beard shampoo cannot remove the skin flakes.

The skin itches or becomes inflamed as a result, or forms pimples and oily impurities. The risk of ingrown beard hairs is significantly higher. The skin itself becomes

  • less well-circulated
  • and appears paler
  • and weaker.

This weakens beard growth and makes it more difficult for the nourishing components from beard oil to be absorbed.

If you exfoliate your skin regularly, you can avoid this. The skin is optimally cleansed, freed from dead flakes, and circulated, laying the foundation for healthy, dense beard growth, and the risk of impurities and inflammation is minimized.

The Key Ingredients of a Beard Exfoliant

When buying a beard exfoliant, you should pay close attention to the ingredients. They should be of natural origin. Many products contain artificial abrasive particles that can cause allergies and are harmful to skin and hair.

The following ingredients are important and effective in a high-quality beard exfoliant:

  • Activated charcoal: It binds dirt and cleanses hair and skin intensively yet gently.

  • A natural scrub, such as volcanic stone, that rubs off the flakes and removes them from the skin

  • Anti-inflammatory agents like spirulina to protect the skin from free radicals during cleansing and to prevent inflammation.

  • Nourishing components like quinoa that strengthen the resilience of beard hair and provide good nutrients to skin and hair.

Beard Exfoliation: How It’s Done

To exfoliate your beard effectively, you don’t need to worry too much. It is important to exfoliate both the beard and the skin underneath regularly - we recommend two to three times a week. Here’s how:

  1. Wash your face with warm water - the easiest way is in the shower.

  2. Take a hazelnut-sized amount of exfoliant and first distribute it in your (clean) hands.

  3. Then apply the exfoliant evenly to your beard and massage it in with circular motions so that it also reaches the underlying skin.

  4. Rinse the exfoliant thoroughly with warm water.

  5. Now apply a moisturizer - a cream, lotion, or beard oil.

Should a Beard Exfoliant Be Used Before or After Shaving?

The question of “exfoliate before or after shaving” should not arise: exfoliation always takes place before, never after shaving. It serves as preparation for shaving. The cleaned skin is then optimally prepared for shaving.

To calm the skin after exfoliation, you can use beard oil as an intermediate step. Exfoliating after shaving is not a good idea - it will further irritate the already sensitive skin and promote irritation.

How Often Should I Use a Beard Exfoliant?

Two to three times a week you should use the beard exfoliant. You exfoliate the skin instead of cleaning it as usual with beard shampoo.

Can You Make a Beard Exfoliant Yourself?

A beard exfoliant can also be made at home. There are various guides and recipes available online. However, keep in mind that the shelf life is very limited, and you may end up irritating the skin too much - for example, if you do not adhere precisely to the recipe and use too many exfoliant particles.

Expert Tip: We would recommend purchasing a high-quality exfoliant product.

How Long Does It Take for the Beard Exfoliant to Show Results?

Your skin will feel fresh and relaxed immediately after the first exfoliation. It gains more firmness and is well-circulated, which usually also has a positive effect on your beard hair.

Conclusion

Beard exfoliation has not yet fully established itself in men’s grooming routines. However, regular exfoliation significantly contributes to maintaining healthy skin and beard hair. Once integrated into your grooming routine, you’ll soon find that you don’t want to be without this product, guaranteed!

Are you already exfoliating? If so, what are your experiences?

FAQ

What are the alternatives to beard exfoliation?

Instead of regular beard exfoliation, you can use coffee grounds as a natural alternative. Simply use the cold coffee grounds in the same way as the exfoliant. The gritty texture of the coffee grounds provides the exfoliating effect, and the caffeine in them additionally promotes blood circulation in your skin.

Is Beard Exfoliation Suitable for Men with Sensitive Skin?

Beard exfoliation is suitable for men with sensitive skin if you choose a high-quality product with natural ingredients. When purchasing, make sure to select a mild exfoliant with a somewhat less intense exfoliating effect.
