Beard Care for Snowboarding and Skiing this Winter
Winter is here, bringing with it snowboarding and skiing adventures that can challenge your beard’s health—but also give you a chance to show off your epic facial hair while conquering the slopes. But if you’re a bearded, you’ve probably noticed how cold, dry air, and whipping winds can wreak havoc on your glorious facial hair. Fear not, because with a few simple tips, you can keep your beard looking and feeling its best while carving through fresh powder. Here’s how to keep your beard healthy, conditioned, and adventure-ready during your winter sports escapades.
Why Your Beard Needs Extra Care in Winter
The combination of freezing temperatures, low humidity, and constant exposure to wind and snow can leave your beard dry, brittle, and prone to damage—but Bearded Coast’s products are specifically designed to combat these issues and keep your beard thriving in even the harshest conditions. The skin underneath your beard also takes a hit, leading to itchiness, flaking, and discomfort. Proper beard care is essential to combat these harsh conditions and maintain your beard’s health and style.
Essential Beard Care Tips for Snowboarding and Skiing
1. Hydrate with Beard Oil
Start your day with a premium beard oil to lock in moisture and protect your beard from the elements. Look for oils with nourishing ingredients like argan, jojoba, and hemp seed oil to hydrate and create a barrier against the cold. Bearded Coast’s beard oils are crafted with organic ingredients that deeply condition without feeling greasy, making them the ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts braving a day on the mountain.
2. Shield Your Beard with Beard Butter or Balm
Beard butter or balm adds an extra layer of protection by sealing in moisture and taming unruly hairs. Opt for a lightweight yet deeply conditioning formula like Bearded Coast’s Beard Butter, which is packed with shea, mango, kokum, and cocoa butters to keep your beard soft and manageable all day.
3. Cover Up for Extra Protection
Invest in a high-quality balaclava or neck gaiter to shield your beard from icy winds and snow spray. These accessories help retain moisture and reduce exposure to harsh conditions, ensuring your beard stays in top shape.
4. Keep It Clean (But Don’t Over Wash)
Sweat and snow can make your beard feel grimy, but over washing strips away natural oils. Bearded Coast’s Beard Wash stands out with its gentle, organic formula, specifically crafted to cleanse your beard without stripping away essential moisture, keeping it soft, fresh, and adventure-ready. Aim to wash every couple of days and rinse with lukewarm water after a day on the slopes.
5. Stay Hydrated
Cold weather can dehydrate your skin and hair from the inside out. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day to keep your beard hydrated and healthy.
6. Deep Condition at Night
After a long day on the mountain, treat your beard to some extra TLC with a nourishing nighttime routine. Apply a generous amount of beard oil and butter before bed to replenish lost moisture and repair damage. Bearded Coast’s ultra-nourishing products are perfect for restoring your beard’s softness and strength.
