Rinse Immediately After Surfing
The salt from the ocean can dry out your beard and irritate the skin beneath it. After hitting the waves, rinse your beard with fresh water to remove salt residue. This helps to prevent the buildup of salt that can cause itching and dryness.
Use a Beard Shampoo Specifically for Saltwater Damage
Regular beard shampoos are great, but after exposure to saltwater, use a beard shampoo specifically designed to hydrate and remove salt buildup. These shampoos are gentle enough not to strip your beard of its natural oils, ensuring that it stays soft and manageable.
Hydrate with Beard Oil and Balms
After a salty day at the beach, your beard will need moisture. Use a hydrating beard oil to replenish lost moisture and keep your beard soft. Beard balm can also be applied for extra hydration and protection. Look for products with natural ingredients like jojoba oil, argan oil, and shea butter.
Comb and Brush to Detangle
Saltwater can cause tangling, so it’s important to comb or brush your beard regularly after exposure. Use a wide-tooth comb for wet hair and a boar-bristle brush for dry beard hair. This helps distribute oils evenly and prevents knots.
