4 Common Beard Issues And How To Solve Them

Growing a kick ass beard takes time and patience.

Depending on factors such as your skin type, genetics and overall physical health, you may encounter some bumps in the road on your way to that awesome beard.

Here are 4 of the most common issues you can encounter when growing a beard, and most importantly, how to fix them.

1. Beard Itch

This is common when you’re starting out, and can be irritating enough that some folks quit trying to grow a beard once the itch kicks in.

Thankfully, some natural beard oil can help minimise this by moisturising your beard hair and skin.

2. Dry Skin

If you’re really unlucky (or like me have particularly sensitive skin), growing a beard can cause the skin underneath to start to dry out and become red and irritated.

This is another common issue that beard oil can help to solve.

In particular, our Gold Beard Oil contains actual 24 carat gold flakes.

Gold is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, so it works that bit harder on your skin to calm and soothe redness and itchiness.

3. Beardruff

When number 2 and 3 get together, the end result can be beardruff – dandruff in your beard.

It’s uncomfortable and unsightly, and can have you avoiding black shirts when it’s at its worst.

4. Patchy Growth

This is common especially in the early stages, and your best bet is to just hang in there and be patient.

As your beard starts to come in, often these patchy areas will fill in of their own accord.

If you’re done waiting and still bothered by patchiness, try a grooming routine using some natural beard oil.

The castor oil we use in our beard oil is there to encourage your hair follicles to get on with it.
