Love the surf but hate what it does to your beard? You’re not alone. Saltwater and sun can dry out your beard, tangle it up, and leave it looking a bit worse for wear. But don’t worry — with a few simple habits, your post-surf beard can be just as smooth as the waves.
This guide is built for Aussie surfers and beach lovers who want to keep their beards healthy, even after long days in the ocean.

Apply beard oil or balm before swimming

Use a wide-tooth comb to detangle and distribute evenly

Think of it like SPF for your beard — pre-care is key.

Rinse with fresh water ASAP

Apply a hydrating leave-in conditioner or oil

Comb to detangle and reshape
