How to get rid of beard dandruff?
Do you notice dandruff in your beard? It is true that it is not very aesthetic, like dandruff in the hair. And in addition to not looking very pretty and giving the feeling of not being clean, dandruff in the beard can be a source of itching and scratching. And dandruff in the beard becomes a source of stress. But don't panic, it is very easy to get rid of dandruff in your beard, provided you know what types of dandruff you have in your beard.
How to properly identify beard dandruff?
This question may surprise you? Because there is not one type of beard dandruff, but several:
Dry beard dandruff
Dry beard dandruff is mainly linked to the skin which, under the beard, is very dry. And yes, it can happen if you don't take care of your skin under the beard. We forget it too often, but it is important to properly moisturize the skin present under the beard. And all the more so at certain times of the year, in autumn and winter, when the skin is drier than usual.
How to recognize if you have dry skin: it's very simple, normally, you should feel tightness in the skin. What's more, dry beard dandruff is mobile, it moves in the beard. Also avoid passing a beard comb or a beard brush to remove them, because you risk accentuating the phenomenon: by brushing your beard, you will touch your skin and perhaps create new dry beard films.
Oily beard dandruff
Oily beard dandruff is linked to excess sebum on your hair or on your skin under the beard. This means that you don't wash your beard regularly. You will be all the more sensitive to excess sebum on your hair if you have oily or combination skin. Unlike dry beard dandruff, as oily beard dandruff is attached to the hair, it does not wander through the beard and remains fixed. They are thus more difficult to remove, and a passage of a beard comb will not be of much help.
From a general point of view, greasy beard dandruff will give the feeling of having a greasy beard, which shines a little. It's not very aesthetic and it will especially give the impression that you are not taking care of your beard.
