🧔 How to Maintain Your Beard Like a Pro (Even If You Only Have a Moustache)

Whether you're rocking a full beard, a sculpted goatee, or just a dashing 'stache, facial hair deserves the same attention and care as the hair on your head. Grooming your beard isn’t just about looking sharp—it’s about keeping your skin healthy, your hair soft, and your style intentional.

So, whether you’ve got a mighty mane or just a moustache that means business, here’s how to keep it looking its best—with a little help from Shaving Time.

✂️ 1. Trim Like a Barber (No Clippers Required)

Even if you’re growing it out, trimming helps shape your beard and eliminate split ends.

Tools of the trade:

• Beard scissors for precision (especially around the lip line and moustache)
• A quality comb or beard brush to guide your cuts
• A double-edge safety razor for cleaning the neckline and cheeks

👉 Pro Tip: Tidy up your neckline about once a week. A good rule? Two fingers above your Adam’s apple is your border.

🧴 2. Wash and Condition That Beard

Your facial hair collects food, dust, and oil just like your scalp hair—so keep it clean.

Use a proper beard shampoo or natural soap to avoid stripping your skin of essential oils. Follow up with a beard conditioner or light beard balm to keep hair soft and manageable.

👉 Avoid harsh shampoos made for the scalp—they can dry out both beard and skin.

💧 3. Moisturise and Nourish Daily

Dry skin under your beard can lead to dreaded beard itch and flakiness. Enter: beard oil.

Why it matters:

• Softens coarse hairs
• Prevents “beardruff” (beard dandruff)
• Adds shine and shape

Even for a short beard or moustache, a few drops of oil go a long way.

🪒 4. Define and Maintain Your Shape

Want that crisp edge along your cheeks or moustache line? You’ll need the right razor.

• Use a straight razor or DE safety razor for accurate edging.
• Apply clear shaving gel or cream so you can see the lines as you shave.
• Don’t rush—this is detail work!

🧼 5. Exfoliate Beneath the Beard

Dead skin cells build up underneath facial hair, leading to ingrown hairs and rough patches. A gentle exfoliation 2–3 times per week can work wonders.

Use:

• A beard brush with natural bristles (great for short beards and moustaches)
• Or a mild facial scrub during your skincare routine

💪 Even a Moustache Deserves Respect

Just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean it needs less care. In fact, a moustache often needs more attention to stay shaped and styled.

What you need:

• Moustache wax for hold and curl
• Mini comb or small brush for taming
• Regular trimming around the lip for a clean look
