That's a very good question, a frequently asked one. First, I'll tell you what causes this and then I'll give you some tips how you can get your beard feeling more comfortable. There are a few things that will dry your beard and skin out., causing your beard to feel brittle and uncomfortable. Lack of hydration is one of them. You should be drinking plenty of water every day to ensure your beard gets enough moisture from your body. You can always tell when your body is dehydrated, your skin will become dry and itchy, and you'll feel it in your beard (you'll also complain that it's too hot outside). Drink more water, especially as the Summer approaches. Summer heat is going to take more water from your body so you have to be putting water back in. Drinking sodas will only dehydrate you more! The more you sweat . . . the more dry your skin and beard will become, iF you are not re-hydrating your body. Not only will Summer heat cause your body to utilize more water and consequently dry out your skin & beard, but a dry heat will do likewise. A dry heat sucks moisture out of everything. Think of a dry, dusty desert, with cracked ground and no moisture. A dry heat with no humidity will make your skin feel like an Arizona desert, almost making you want to shave your beard. Getting rid of your beard isn't going to fix the problem. Your skin is still going to be dry and uncomfortable.

Here's what you need to do, to remedy your uncomfortable beard & skin: 

1. Drink plenty of water every day. Get your body re-hydrated.
2. Utilize beard oils and beard balms to give additional moisture & protection for your beard and skin, helping manage the discomfort.

That's a fantastic question. Beard balm gives your beard more protection than beard oil. The reason for this is that balm has a thick consistency. And it stays with your beard a longer than beard oil. What I really like about beard balm is that it helps with those wild hairs that just don't want to get into place. Especially around my mustache, sometimes the scraggly hairs will try to go up my nose or in my mouth. Not pleasant. What you don't want to do is pluck those mustache hairs out because those hairs are going to increase the thickness of your mustache. So, what does beard balm do? You guessed it! Beard balm is used to control the little pieces of hair to put them in their place.

What else does beard balm do? Shaping, yes, that's another reason why I ABSOLUTELY love beard balm. My beard tends to curl up in areas near my jaw line and chin and I want my beard to look longer and have a straighter look. What I do is take the back of my thumb nail and scoop some balm out and rub it in my palms for a few seconds. The Forest Breeze beard balm melts in your hands nicely, it's smooth and isn't crumbly like others I've tried. I'll then start rubbing it through my mustache and work down through my beard. Then I'll get a little more balm in my hands and go from the bottom up. Next I'll take a comb, combing through my stache and down through my beard. I'll finish off by twisting my mustache and shaping my beard at the jaw line and chin for a long look. Using beard balm is an AMAZING experience. I love it!

The Forest Breeze beard balm is all natural and made with cold-pressed carrier oils, so you never have to worry about harsh chemicals that are toxic. I only use the best for my beard and that's what I want for my customers. This beard balm is an excellent beard conditioner that moisturizes, encourages growth, while softening your beard. The Forest Breeze has top-notch ingredients that are perfectly blended to ensure your beard will be smelling better than it's ever been. Our balm doesn't have the all too familiar burnt smell due to beeswax. We've left beeswax out and instead have chosen to use soy wax to eliminate the burnt smell (and because it's vegan). Made from hazelnut, sweet almond, & grapeseed oils; cocoa butter & soy way; essential oils of balsam fir needle, pine needle, bergamot, rosemary, frankincense, & patchouli. I can't help but to breath in deep every time I put this extraordinary beard balm in. You'll really like it, I promise you that!
