The Best Fall Beard Care Plan

Written by Shaylynn Marks

Now that football season has finally arrived, that means fall is just around the corner and your beard’s about to be put to the test. Cooler air, dry winds and shifting temperatures can take a toll on your beard fast—we’re talking dryness, flakes, and irritation that hits harder as the days grow colder. 

Updating your fall beard care routine keeps your beard hydrated, strong, and totally unphased by the elements. With the right products that contain nourishing ingredients, you can easily set yourself up for a healthy, itch-free beard.

Why You Need to Protect Your Mug Against Fall Weather

Tailgates, downtown bar crawls, hikes—they’re great for your weekends, rough on your beard. Wind, dry air, and pollutants come creeping in and damaging your beard hairs faster than you think:

• Apply a light layer of beard balm before heading out to lock in moisture and reduce frizz.
• Use a boar bristle brush upward to untangle, redistribute oils, and smooth your beard back into shape.
• Reapply with a clarifying beard oil when you’re done to refresh and keep things soft and avoid breakouts.

Skin and Beard Hydration is Key

Dry fall air drains moisture from your beard and skin quickly. The fix is keeping hydration natural and consistent:

• Even when the sun isn’t shining, your skin still needs a layer of protection. Make sure to shield your face with a daily SPF moisturizer.
• Opt for a beard oil with jojoba and argan oils soften your beard and absorb fast without greasy buildup.
• There’s nothing frilly about using a beard conditioner. Conditioning your beard helps with detangling your beard hairs and preventing breakage. Ours contains avocado oil and aloe vera, which are known for soothing and protecting your beard and skin.

Beard Flake Prevention

Bonfires and big Thanksgiving dinners are at the top of any guy’s fall highlights, but the ash, dirt, and (probably) crumbs that get caught in your beard will need to be scrubbed out. Washing too often can strip away natural oils, while skipping washes (whether from breaking your camping routine or falling asleep from a food coma) can lead to buildup and irritation. The key is to balance it out with a gentle formula:

• Wash 2-3 times weekly with our soothing beard shampoo, powered by chamomile and tea tree oil to calm skin and fight beard dandruff.
• Follow up with a beard conditioner to keep the beard hairs soft and manageable—and ready for styling.
• As a general rule, always rinse away dirt and smoke after bonfires, tailgate parties, or any type of outdoorsy activity.

Fall is the Season of Boosting Beard Growth

Less sweat, fewer breakouts, and cooler weather creates the ideal environment for growing a thicker beard and all-around healthy growth. Our BeardPlus products will be your lifeline:
