How To Choose Beard Balm And Other Male Grooming Products

By Jerry Sullivan


For many years, skin care was not something that most men concerned themselves with. They may have used products from time to time when their skin was bothering them but most simply used soap and water in addition to any shaving products they used. Now, beard balm and other male grooming products are much more popular. If you are buying them for yourself or a special man in your life, here are some tips to make choosing specific products much easier.

While many men are choosing to be clean shaven these days, a growing number of men are opting not to remove their facial hair. Everything from mustaches to full beards are common on the faces of men these days. You may want to consider how much shaving you need to do when you are deciding what skin care products you want to buy.

Another thing to consider is what kind of shaving system is being used. The products you pick will vary depending on whether the man shaves with an electric razor, a safety razor or a straight razor. Some men like to use a particular kind of lotion or cream on their face when they are grooming their facial hair and if this is the case, you may want to simply gift them with these particular products.

It can be surprising how much a man's lifestyle and the climate in which he lives can affect their skin quality. Cold air can dry out skin very quickly and humid weather can cause oily skin to get worse. Therefore, a man living in Orlando, FL will have very different skincare needs than someone who lives where weather is dry or cold for much of the year.

You should always think about the skin that any product will be used on. Anyone can have a range of different skin types. Dry skin will often feel tight and will look red or flaky. Oily skin may not be as dry and tight feeling but it can appear shiny and there may be blemishes present on a regular basis. It can be a really good idea to make sure that a particular product is intended for a specific skin type or you may not be comfortable using it on an extended basis.

If you know a man shaves his facial hair, you might want to consider products such as a cleanser, a good, rich shaving lotion or gel, and an aftershave balm or product. This can help soothe redness and irritation that some males experience after they have used a razor. A product to soften facial hair may also be nice as it may enable a man to get a much closer shave.

Facial hair is becoming increasingly popular and common with men. It also brings with it an entirely different set of challenges. Balms and oils can help condition the hair to keep it as soft and pliable as possible. It is also possible to use these products in order to make a thin beard look thicker which is something some men need and appreciate. Just make sure it is also gentle on the skin underneath the hair as well.

Once you have an idea of the kinds of products you want to purchase, it is simply a matter of tracking them down. You may want to start your search at some local men's salons or department stores. If, however, you want a greater selection you might want to check out some of the websites that are dedicated to men and their grooming needs.
