We recommend washing your beard daily or every other day. Beard Wash is formulated specifically for dry brittle beards. The nutrient rich formulation softens hair and hydrates the skin beneath. Scruff Wash combines the hydrating effects of Beard Wash with a gentle exfoliator. This is essential for keeping the skin underneath stubble or scruff healthy, and for removing the buildup of product and dead skin cells from longer beards. Adding in an exfoliator a few times per week can help to eliminate flakes and itch.
