The Guide to Beard Care, Skincare, Nutrition & Training.

At Bros in Beards, we believe a legendary beard isn’t just grown — it’s nourished, groomed, and fuelled from the inside out. Whether you're rocking a full beard or keeping things neat and tidy, your beard health starts with the right skincare and nutrition. Here’s everything you need to know to elevate your grooming routine and unlock the power of a healthier you.

Why Beard and Skincare Go Hand in Hand

Healthy beards start with healthy skin. When pores are blocked with dirt, oil, or dead skin, it can lead to ingrown hairs, patchy growth, and irritation. Proper skincare clears out pores, hydrates the skin, and creates the ideal environment for strong beard growth.

1. Beard Products Aren’t Just for the Hair

Using a well formulated beard oil or butter hydrates not only the beard but the skin, helping to prevent:

Itchiness and flaking
Redness & inflammation
Dry patches and irritation
Brittle hair
Breakage & split ends
Reduce redness
Balance oil production
Promote healing
Even out skin tone

At Bros in Beards, our handcrafted blends are non-greasy, lightweight, and packed with ingredients like jojoba oil, mango butter, kokum butter, shea butter, and camellia seed oil all chosen for their powerful skin benefits.

Daily Skincare Tips for Bearded Blokes

Looking after your skin underneath your beard is just as important as washing your face.

2. Cleanse Gently – Especially Under Your Beard

Dirt, sweat, and oil build up fast. Use a gentle beard wash or facial cleanser to keep your pores clear. Avoid harsh soaps that can dry out the skin and damage your beard’s natural oils.

3. Moisturise Daily

Hydrated skin is the foundation of a healthy beard and a clear complexion. Daily moisturising helps maintain your skin’s natural barrier, preventing dryness, flakiness, and irritation. A quality oil, butter or moisturiser rich in natural oils like jojoba, camellia seed, mango butter, kokum butter and shea butter not only locks in moisture but also supports skin balance and softness.

4. Exfoliate Weekly

Gently exfoliating one or twice a week helps to remove dead skin cells that clog pores and stunt beard growth. Be careful not to overdo it — especially if your skin is sensitive.

Nutrition: The Secret to Healthy Skin and a Stronger Beard

What you eat shows up on your skin and beard. No amount of grooming can outdo a poor diet.

5. Protein = Beard Fuel

Beards are made of keratin, a protein. Eating protein-rich foods like eggs, chicken, nuts, and legumes supports healthy beard growth.

6. Healthy Fats for Skin & Hair Glow

Omega-3 fatty acids (found in foods like salmon, avocado, and walnuts) help:

Keep your skin supple and hydrated
Promote shinier, fuller facial hair

7. Vitamins and Minerals Matter

Some essentials to keep in your diet:

Biotin – boosts hair and nail strength
Zinc – supports hormone balance and growth
Vitamin E – protects skin and hair from oxidative stress
Vitamin A & C – vital for collagen production and skin repair

If you can’t get enough through food, consider a quality men’s multivitamin or beard-specific supplement.

Regular physical training does more than build muscle — it helps grow a better beard and improves skin clarity.

Training & Beard Growth: The Underrated Connection

Boost Testosterone Naturally

Strength training, HIIT, and resistance workouts all help to naturally increase testosterone levels — a major player in hair growth.

Improves Blood Circulation

Working out improves circulation, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles and skin cells more efficiently.

Flushes Out Toxins

Sweating during a workout helps clear pores and detox the skin — but remember to cleanse afterwards!

Reduces Stress = Better Skin & Beard

Exercise helps reduce cortisol (the stress hormone), which when high, can contribute to hair loss and breakouts. Training helps you look and feel more balanced.
