The beard guide

There’s an old adage, “a man without a beard, is barely more than a boy”. A beard is a mark of distinction, character and absolute ruggedness. For those of us who want to add to their visage’s follicular wealth, a few pointers can come in handy: Don’t hate, exfoliate: Clean skin acts as the perfect fertile medium for hair growth, so just as you would tend to your head of hair, once a week, exfoliate in order to promote better beard growth as well. Frequent washing helps: Washing your face with warm water and a mild cleansing agent like a face or beard wash is highly recommended. Diet your way to better fuzz: Just like sunlight is essential to a plant’s growth, the right diet is imperative for your beard’s growth and thickness. Increasing your consumption of vitamins and minerals like A, C, E and B Complex (B3, B5, B7) have been known to increase the body’s ability to generate hair follicles faster and more efficiently. Adding a layer of protein from both vegetarian and non-vegetarian sources is also advisable. Sleep better, be-ard better: One of the most potent elixirs for better skin rejuvenation and hair growth is proper sleep. Use a good quality beard growth oil: Beard growth oils contain the vitamins and trace minerals needed to stimulate hair follicle growth and it is recommended that one uses these in order to help boost the body’s ability to grow the necessary follicles.
