Since this bizarre Corona period, we have been meeting daily at home with our colleagues. In the morning, we roll out of bed towards our guest or office room and crawl behind our screens. The temptation is great to work and meet in your camping tuxedo and unkempt week-old beard during the Teams session. How do you prevent looking like an unkempt Screen Bully? We have put together some handy and simple beard tips.
Beard management starts with the right beard products
Just like you try to manage work at the workplace, you also need to manage your beard. Beard management starts with yourself by using the right beard products. If you are going to shower anyway, take care of your beard at the same time. Use a little beard shampoo to get your beard healthy and fresh again. Beard shampoo cleans your beard and makes it smell nice.
If you are standing in front of the mirror anyway, you can just as easily quickly touch up the beard contours with the help of a special mustache and beard razor. This small razor is super handy for neatly trimming the edges. If you do this daily, it only takes a few minutes. Your beard will stay in shape.
If you are trimming the beard edges anyway, you can also directly trim the unruly beard hairs with the help of the beard scissors. This keeps the beard nicely shaped. A frizzy beard that looks like an exploded guinea pig is of course no good.
After showering and using beard shampoo, it is best to apply a few drops of beard oil to your beard. Beard oil makes even the most unkempt beard look nice again. If you suffer from a frizzy beard, beard oil will be very beneficial. You can also take good care of the irritated skin under your beard with beard oil. A dry, flaky skin or red spots will gradually diminish if you use beard oil daily.
The ultimate care for your beard is finally to distribute the beard oil well and rub it in with a beard brush. With the beard brush, you get an even distribution of the beard oil. You can also easily and quickly shape the beard.
Prevent a Neanderthal beard
If you are not careful and do not manage your beard, your beard will look like a Neanderthal beard. If you do nothing for care, your beard will grow on the cheeks, in the neck area, and over your Adam's apple. Your entire face will then be covered with hair. The time of the Neanderthal has long passed. How do you prevent this?
Try to trim your beard contours well every day or every two days with the safety razor. With this razor, you can shave the beard edges very quickly and super neatly. Many of our customers with beards use this razor. The big advantage is that you can see exactly where the razor blade is shaving.
Protect your skin during shaving with a transparent shaving gel from a tube. The advantage of shaving gel is that it can be easily applied with the fingers and it provides a nice smooth sliding layer. It protects your skin optimally. Because it is transparent, you can clearly see the beard edges.
Our advice is therefore: "shape your beard with a shaving gel."
To shave the beard edges on the cheeks neatly, create an imaginary curved line from the sideburns to the top of the mustache. Then smoothly shave with the safety razor from the starting point at the sideburns to the mustache. For the beard contours on the neck area just below the jawline and chin, you can use the following trick. Place two fingers thick directly under the jawline and chin. This creates an imaginary line from one side to the other. Shave away everything below this line. Protect your skin with a little shaving gel. Place the safety razor on this line and shave carefully downwards. If it is not smooth immediately, you can shave sideways once more towards the middle above your Adam's apple. First start from the right to the middle (if you are right-handed) and then from the left to the middle. If you are left-handed, of course, start the other way around.
