Feel Good Friday: Mister Beardwash

By Matt Bell December 6, 2013

Mister beard wash

Mister Beardwash loves anyone or thing with whiskers. Case in point, with the purchase of every bottle of their wash and/or conditioner made specifically to clean beards and mustaches, you’re in fact donating to the North Shore Animal League of America, the world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization.

What’s more beard warming than that? Wait, why would anyone want to buy a beard wash in the first place? Don’t regular shampoos or face cleansers work on your face hair too? Well, yeah, they won’t break your beard or anything, but also, they’re not really strong enough to tackle the thicker, coarser hair that grows out of your face. And more, the skin on your chin is different than what’s on your scalp, so if you’re being a perfectionist about caring for your beard, you also want to nourish your below the beard area correctly too.

A good beard wash, like Mister Beardwash, is formulated with this in mind, using beard and face friendly ingredients like acne fighting willow bark extract, moisturizing hibiscus, cotton and oat extracts and nourishing, soothing green tea. They’ll leave your beard feeling that much softer and the skin beneath clean and acne free. And if you have beard dandruff problems, you might want to give their deep conditioner a try. It eats flakes for breakfast. Just like you.

Ok, so some of these beard products can come off as just a little overboard (Head and Shoulders or Selsun blue also work on beard dandruff) and true, you don’t absolutely need a specific beard cleansing or conditioning product in the tub in say, the same way a dog needs one, but if buying one helps nourish our beard better than regular shampoo, and keep man’s best friend happily panting away, well then, we say go for it.

How to Get Rid of Cigar Breath, Smell, and Smoke

cigar smoke

Many of life's most pleasurable experiences come with less-than-pleasant aftermath. For example: An evening of indulgence in bourbon and beer brings a hangover as retribution, a great climb or hike leaves its share of lactic acid in those worn-out muscles, and a day spent lounging about on the beach or poolside can bring a sunburn and questions like, "Hey, why aren't you at work?"

Puffing on a fine cigar at a get-together or quietly enjoying one as you leaf through the pages of a book might be nice ways to pass some time, but no matter how you enjoy that stogie, the result will be the same: cigar smell.

The 6 Best Sea Salt Sprays for Men

best sea salt sprays for men brickell mens texturizing saly spray

Ever notice how your hair looks voluminous, soft, and maybe even wavy after a trip to the beach? That's due to the power of sea salt, which pulls excess oil from your scalp while adding volume and texture. If you want that tousled surfer look but aren't able to plan a beach holiday any time soon, a bottle of sea salt spray will help you achieve the same effect.

Sea salt spray is a lighter alternative to pomade and clay, which makes it the perfect styling product for hot, humid days. It can be used on dry or damp hair. No need to use a hairdryer if you don't want to — just spritz, style, and allow your hair to air dry for a natural look that'll last all day.
