Beards have become even more popular — in part due to what restarted from a few hipsters and models going for a different look with facial hair has now spread worldwide. Facial styles 2016.

A few years ago, one of the grooming essentials for men was to shave. Not shaving before work, meetings, or social gatherings was a sign of a disheveled man. This stereotype has been shelved. Hipster style facial hair is the new thing. Meticulously maintained grooming style for men, featuring full beards and trim mustaches is in. It’s a focal point, much like a well-styled haircut or snazzy suit.

The trick to this ultra masculine trend is men making an effort t in their personal appearance without looking the part. These men are rugged but never scruffy.

A beard’s purpose over its finished look is a mixed case.

Beard Care and Maintenance

Beard dandruff is a real thing. Contrary to what you may think, the facial hair is not protecting the skin underneath it. The truth is that your skin with facial hair requires more care than a clean shaven face.

Skin beneath that impressive mane is often screaming for nourishment in the form of moisturizers. While your beard may be stylishly glistening, your skin beneath it is flaking.

Your beard and mustache also demands regular styling and trimming to prevent dandruff buildup, itchiness, bumps, irritation, and ingrown hairs.
