Hey, it's JJ from Braw Beard and today we're going to be talking about dirty beards.
Do you work in a dusty environment? Do you suffer from a constantly dry, dirty beard?
With some construction workers getting the go ahead to get back to work recently, we’ve
had an influx of messages about beard care in dirty environments. We’ve had emails
from gardeners, joiners, labourers, cement workers etc.
They all ask the same thing, “at work, how do I avoid a dirty beard and are there steps
I should take to help?”
If you work in these environments,
you are going to get a dirty beard But there are steps you can take to get around it.
If you're working with cement, wood etc, you are going to get a dirty beard, there’s no avoiding it (unless you wear
a neck gaiter/snood).
But there are steps you can take to ensure the best cleanliness as possible during your
workday.
Let me offer advice and explain the reasons below.
In the morning before work. Wash your beard with water, give it a rinse
with water only, then gently towel dry it. Don’t use Braw Beard Wash here, save it
for a wash when you get home, it will be more beneficial then.
Once your beard is dry, apply some of your favourite Braw Beard oil to condition.
I'm currently using Anniversary18, it works for me
Use that to condition and moisturise your beard as normal. Comb or brush that through as normal too. If your beard
is long, consider tying it down with bobbles to make the surface area smaller than usual. A smaller
surface area will catch less dust and dirt.
I’d recommend against using beard balm or butter before working in a dusty environment.
The wax element may cause dust to stick to your beard making it feel horrible. Braw Beard
butter is a great moisturiser but we’ll save that for later when you get home.
At work Throughout your work day, your beard is going
to hold onto some dirt and dust, just the same way your head hair, eyebrows and arm
hair does, it happens. I’ve been there myself several times.
What I do recommend is taking a bottle of beard oil and a brush to work with you (leave
it in your locker, in a bag or wherever else you keep belongings at work).
At lunchtime, gently brush your beard to get residual dirt out. Next apply a little beard
oil and brush through again to evenly distribute the oil in your beard. This will moisturise
you hair and skin below, keeping it clean and avoiding irritation later in the day.
This will get some residual dirt out as I said.
You may get funny looks but hey, don’t we all?
At home afterwards to clean your dirty beard Once you get home from working in a dusty
environment, the first thing you will want to do is wash out that dirt.
Now is the time of the day to use the Braw Beard Wash. Jump in the shower or bath and
wash your beard thoroughly with Braw Beard Wash. It has aloe vera added and is made with
organic ingredients. Which means it helps reduce dandruff while
cleaning your beard effectively. Just what your beard needs after a tough day.
Once you beard is towel dried, apply some of your favourite Braw Beard oil. It is non-greasy
and has only natural ingredients, chosen for their beneficial properties. Which means it
nourishes your facial hair from root to tip.
Either use a comb or gently brush your beard to detangle the hair after washing.
Now is the time of your day to apply Braw Beard Butter. It is made with natural ingredients,
chosen for their beneficial properties. This product is deep conditioning, while gently
holding stray hairs in place to maintain a neat looking beard.
The perfect way to treat your beard and restore its faith in you.
Lastly, brush through again. This will evenly distribute the products, separate the hairs, offering maximum volume
Now you've done that, you've looked after your beard.
Now is the time to go and enjoy your day
Now you have a clean beard, it will make you feel fresh, it'll help you feel good for the rest of the day.
That's my tips for working in a dusty environment
As I say, we've had a few messages recently
That would be my advice
Don't use too much product in the morning, save it for later, you'll feel the benefit later.
