But if you think about it, it makes sense.
The best-looking beards are healthy beards.

What Is Beard Conditioner?
Like hair conditioner, beard conditioner is a product designed to keep beard hair soft and moisturized.
Over time it can help to prevent brittle hair and breakage and decrease skin irritation, explains Cooper Spencer.
We know what youre thinking: Its the same thing as hair conditionerbut actually its not.
However, when it comes to manageability and softness, thats where beard conditioner reigns supreme.
How to Use Beard Conditioner
Beard conditioner comes in two basic types: rinse-out and leave-in.
To apply, Cooper Spencer recommends starting by washing your face and beard.
You never want to apply it to an unclean surface, he says.
In the end, your beard should be shiny, soft, and manageable.
However, once the length reaches the half-inch mark, its time to think about proper beard care.
Thats when a beard starts to change the shape of someone’s face significantly, Cooper Spencer says.
The more pronounceable and recognizable the ingredients are, the better, Rietveld says.
Look out for natural emollients like coconut oil, shea butter, and aloe vera.
A personal recommendation from founder Rietveld, Reuzel’s Beard Foam absorbs quickly to condition and deodorize your beard.
Bonus: The exotic blend of musky sandalwood and floral notes is manly and mysterious and smells amazing.
It’s a delight for skin and beard alike.
This means adopting proper skin and beard care to keep your facial hair smooth, shiny, and healthy.
At the same time, you dont need to take on an overwhelming amount of steps or products.
Just go with what feels right and makes your beard live up to its fullest potential.
