As temperatures begin to rise (about time!), taking care of your beard becomes as essential as applying sunscreen. For those with facial hair, hot weather can spell trouble - dryness, breakage, and discomfort. At Constituted by Nature, we believe prevention is better than cure when it comes to the sun. Here are some eco-friendly, natural tips to maintain a healthy beard throughout the hotter seasons.
The foundation of great beard care starts from the inside. Hydration is crucial—not just for your body but for your beard as well. Drinking plenty of water will help keep your beard hair hydrated and less prone to breakage.
2. Wash Wisely
While it might be tempting to wash your beard frequently in the summer to remove sweat and dirt, overwashing can strip your beard of its natural oils. Opt for a natural, gentle beard wash that cleans without removing essential moisture.
3. Use Natural Moisturisers
After washing, apply a natural beard oil such as our Beard and Hair Growth Oil or our Beard Balm to keep your beard soft and moisturised. Products with ingredients like jojoba oil, argan oil, or coconut oil are great as these natural moisturisers help nourish the beard and skin underneath without harsh chemicals.

4. Protect
Just as you protect your skin from harmful UV rays, your beard needs protection too. Apply a beard balm with a natural SPF ingredient like zinc oxide to shield your beard from sun damage. Additionally, wearing a wide-brimmed hat can provide extra protection on particularly sunny days.
5. Comb Regularly
Use a wooden comb to detangle your beard daily. This helps evenly distribute the natural oils throughout your beard, keeping it smooth and reducing the risk of snags and split ends. Plus, regular combing can help stimulate blood flow to the area, promoting healthier beard growth.
6. Trim for Tidiness
Summer might be a good time to opt for a slightly shorter beard style. Regular trims also help remove split ends and keep your beard looking neat and tidy. If you’re trimming at home, make sure to use sharp, clean scissors or a beard trimmer.
7. Diet and Nutrition
Don't underestimate the power of a good diet on beard health. Foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as Biotin and Omega-3 fatty acids, can promote stronger, healthier hair growth. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and lean proteins into your diet.
Hot weather doesn’t have to be a downer for your beard. With the right care routine and the power of natural ingredients, you can have a healthy, stylish beard that thrives all summer long. Remember, a great beard is not just about appearance - it’s about how you feel beneath it. Stay cool and let nature do the grooming.
