Beard hair consists of a part buried under the skin, the hair follicle, usually called the hair root, and a visible part, the shaft or hair fiber, made up of three concentric layers:
- The cuticle,
- The cortex,
- The medulla.
You should know that the hair is rooted at about 4mm under the skin. It grows on average 0.27mm per day, but this varies according to the individual.
Shaving and maintenance
Contrary to what we sometimes read, shaving does not make beard hair harder. In fact, the razor blade cuts the hair at an angle and this just makes it sharper, hence the impression.
Shaving can be tedious or perceived in a negative way because it's grueling. And some fragile skin is prone to irritation, redness, stinging, dryness, tightness. In these cases, you just have to use the right products. Indeed, it can make all the difference and change your life gentlemen. Using quality products is important because it is essential to take care of your facial skin. We therefore avoid buying shaving products, care products and razors in supermarkets. The skin of your face will feel better.
The beard
Wearing a beard was fashionable and even imposed by traditions or religions depending on the era and the socio-cultural context. It is one of the attributes, founding according to certain ethnologists, of masculinity.
In recent years, it has become a fashion "instrument" that allows men to create their own style. But honestly, it must be well done and cared for, otherwise it quickly becomes neglected. A well-groomed beard is really a beautiful asset. A barber can help you to become a master in this field.
Take care of your skin
Beard or no beard, you must take care of your skin and moisturize it. If you don't have a beard, remember to do a mask or scrub every two weeks to gently exfoliate any impurities.
Do not wash your face with your shower gel. Instead, use a superfatted soap, soap bars based on vegetable oils (such as Marseille soap or Aleppo soap), superfatted which will nourish and protect your skin. Moisturize your skin morning and night, it is strictly advised.
