3 Ways To Prevent Beard Burn

Beard burn, pash rash, ‘stache rash – call it what you will.

Beard burn is a form of contact dermatitis caused by your facial hair rubbing on your partner’s skin, leaving it irritated and scratched.

So how do you prevent it?

1. Grow Your Beard

Shorter beards tend to cause more irritation than longer ones, as the shorter strands tend to stab into the skin.

Grow it out and the longer hair becomes softer on the ends, helping reduce irritation in your partner’s skin.

2. Keep Your Beard Moisturised

Using a beard oil will help hydrate both the beard hair and skin underneath, leaving your beard feeling softer.

Your partner will feel less like they’re pashing a cheese grater, and experience less beard burn.

3. Keep Your Partner’s Skin Moisturised

Well hydrated skin keeps natural protective barriers intact, so if your partner has well moisturised, healthy skin they are less likely to experience irritation.
