5 TIPS TO GROWING A HEALTHY BEARD


We all know the importance of grooming right?
More so having or growing a healthy beard is like how
having healthy beautiful hair
 is like a crown to many women. Grooming comes 
to men is taking care of yourself entirely
 from your skin, hair,beard, health & diet.
 Don't think of it as something new but rather
the fact that men have always
 taken care of themselves just that
 modern grooming
has somehow evolved with innovative 
ways men are able to appreciate pampering
 themselves more and taking pride in how they look.
In today's post we will be sharing the 
5 Tips to growing a healthy beard according to 


1. Taking care of your skin beneath


Well its not secret but its also relevant
 that in order to have a healthy looking beard you
also need to take care of your skin. Its like
 watering a seed in order to get a fully bloomed flower.
Same analogy with your beard gents. With this said daily
 moisturization is required to ensure your
 skin is smooth and healthy. The main source
 guaranteed to assist with this is 
H2O, drink plenty of it.


2. Avoid harsh products/ingredients


Be cautious of the products you use
 not only on your face but products you use to grow
and maintain that healthy beard. Always 
make sure you research the various products
 you plan on using as well as recommendations 
from a trusted source rather than resorting
to Youtube DIYS. Instead make sure you
 include these products as part of your
 beard growing journey;
beard wash, beard balm, beard oil. Invest in 
 a great beard comb and brush.


3. Healthy eating


Healthy eating and balanced diet contribute a lot
to one having a healthy beard.
 Remember to feed your body
with much needed vitamins, proteins and nutrients 
not forgetting an intake of water regularly
 do avoid the effects of producing quiet the
 opposite of a healthy beard and finding
 yourself with a beard that
is likely to be brittle, thin, dry, split ends and
 prone to skin irritation, itching and not 
as hydrated soft or easy to tame. 


4. Exercise


One thing that compliments healthy eating
 is putting in the physical work and exercising. By 
doing this you increase the benefits of increased
 testosterone levels, reduced stress as well as
 boosted metabolism.


5. Patience


Now this is something most of us fail at, Patience.
Well comes with the aim of getting positive final results.
In the process of growing that healthy
 beard patience needs to be a virtue. Look at 
it a life time investment after all ones
 greatest investment
 is always himself, so give your beard 
time to grow into its own. Things to avoid
 while allowing your beard to grow is 
experimenting with various products to
 rush the process of natural growth, 
trimming & shaping
