For a beard wearer, apart from shaving, there is nothing more important than proper beard care. It is essential for both the ideal look of the beard and its health.

The abundance of beard care products and information on optimal beard hair care can be extremely overwhelming - especially for beginners. 

With our comprehensive Störtebekker beard care guide, we want to help you bring order to chaos. Because beard care is actually far from being rocket science. And even the repertoire of truly necessary beard care products and their sequence is actually quite manageable.

Below, we explain the beard care tips you need to optimally care for your facial hair. Of course, you can also combine beard care with shaving or shaping the beard.

The 3 Cornerstones of Beard Care

1. Shape

I use a beard brush daily to untangle my beard and massage my facial skin. In addition to the pure "combing effect," beard brushes also have the property of freeing your beard from unwanted companions, such as dead skin flakes.

To keep my beard in shape, I use a beard trimmer once or twice a week. For the contours, I have included the razor in my routine, as it is particularly good for achieving clear edges.

Expert tip: From a certain beard length, you should switch to a beard comb.

2. Cleaning

To enjoy your facial hair in the long term, it is important to wash it regularly. Since beard hair has a different texture than your scalp hair, you should refrain from using regular hair shampoo.

Specially developed beard shampoos and soaps help you clean your beard and maintain it sustainably. I use beard shampoo two to three times a week and wash my beard with warm water on the remaining days. You should avoid excessive care for the sake of your beard's well-being.

3. Care

For beard care, it is not only necessary to clean it regularly, but also to care for it intensively. By using a beard oil, you supply your beard hair with important nutrients and moisture.

In addition to beard oil, I use beard balm to keep my beard soft and supple. The beard balm ensures a natural hold of your beard and at the same time cares for your facial hair.

My personal tip: Choose beard oil and beard balm with a subtle fragrance. I recommend the beard care products from Störtebeker. Their scent will neither interfere with your favorite perfume nor with your partner's.
