Using beard cream is a simple process that helps to keep your beard healthy and well-maintained. Here's a detailed guide on how to apply it, incorporating information from the provided reference about beard balm application, which follows a similar method:
Preparing to Apply Beard Cream
Before you begin, ensure that your beard is clean and slightly damp. This will help the cream spread more easily and absorb better.
Application Steps:
- Dispense the Cream: Take a small amount of beard cream on your fingertips. The amount will depend on the length and thickness of your beard, just like with beard balm. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Warm it Up: Rub the cream between your palms to warm it slightly. This makes it easier to apply evenly. This step is also recommended when applying beard balm, as per the reference.
- Application:
- For longer beards (similar to longer beard balm application shown in the reference), start applying the cream to your neckline first and then work your way up.
- For shorter beards, apply the cream evenly throughout your beard from the roots to the tips.
- Distribute Evenly: Use your fingers to massage the cream thoroughly into your beard. Ensure that you reach the skin underneath the beard as well. This helps to moisturize the skin and prevent dryness and itching.
- Style: Once the cream is distributed evenly, use your hands or a beard brush or comb to style your beard as desired. This step is similar to the styling done after applying beard balm as noted in the video reference.
Tips and Considerations:
- Start Small: Begin with a small amount of cream and add more gradually to avoid overusing it and making your beard look greasy.
- Frequency: The frequency of application will depend on your beard's needs. Apply beard cream once or twice a day, or as needed.
- Consistency is Key: Regular application is crucial for maintaining a healthy and well-groomed beard.
- Cleanliness: Ensure your beard is clean before applying the cream for the best results.
- Application Stages: If you have a long beard, like the one in the reference, you may need to apply the cream in a couple of stages to ensure complete coverage.
Benefits of Using Beard Cream
- Hydration: Keeps your beard and the skin underneath moisturized, preventing dryness and itching.
- Softness: Makes your beard feel softer and more manageable.
- Styling: Helps in taming stray hairs and styling your beard.
By following these steps, you can effectively use beard cream to keep your beard looking and feeling its best.
