## Introduction

Properly moisturizing the skin under your beard and mustache is essential for maintaining a healthy and comfortable beard. Dry skin can lead to itchiness, flakiness, and irritation. Fortunately, Beard Bright offers high-quality beard oils and creams that can help keep your skin hydrated and your beard looking its best.

## Why Moisturize the Skin Under Your Beard?

### Preventing Dryness and Itchiness

The skin beneath your beard can become dry due to lack of moisture, which can lead to itching and discomfort. Using a beard oil or cream helps lock in moisture, keeping your skin hydrated and reducing itchiness.

### Reducing Flakiness

Dry skin can cause flakiness, which can be unsightly and uncomfortable. Regularly moisturizing with beard oil or cream helps prevent this issue by keeping the skin beneath your beard healthy.

## Choosing the Right Product

### Beard Oil

Beard oil is lightweight and easy to apply, making it a great option for those with shorter beards or for daily use. Beard Bright offers beard oils in various scents inspired by historical geniuses, as well as an unscented option.

### Beard Cream

Beard cream is slightly thicker than oil and provides a bit more hydration, making it ideal for longer beards or particularly dry skin. Beard Bright’s beard creams are also available in a variety of scents and an unscented version.

## How to Apply Beard Oil

### Step 1: Clean Your Beard

Start by washing your beard with Beard Bright Beard Wash. This removes any dirt and excess oil, allowing the beard oil to penetrate the skin better.

### Step 2: Dry Your Beard

Gently pat your beard dry with a towel. It’s best to apply beard oil to a slightly damp beard to help lock in moisture.

### Step 3: Apply the Oil

Pour a few drops of Beard Bright Beard Oil into your palm. Rub your hands together to distribute the oil evenly.

### Step 4: Massage into the Skin

Massage the oil into your beard, making sure to reach the skin underneath. Use your fingers to work the oil down to the roots of your beard hairs.

### Step 5: Comb Through

Use a beard comb to evenly distribute the oil throughout your beard. This also helps detangle any knots and ensures the oil is spread evenly.

## How to Apply Beard Cream

### Step 1: Clean Your Beard

As with beard oil, start by washing your beard with Beard Bright Beard Wash to ensure it’s clean.

### Step 2: Dry Your Beard

Pat your beard dry with a towel, leaving it slightly damp.

### Step 3: Scoop Out Cream

Scoop out a small amount of Beard Bright Beard Cream with your fingertip.

### Step 4: Rub Between Palms

Rub the cream between your palms to warm it up and make it easier to apply.

### Step 5: Massage into the Skin

Work the cream into your beard, focusing on the skin beneath. Use your fingers to ensure it reaches the roots of your beard hairs.

### Step 6: Comb Through

Comb through your beard to distribute the cream evenly and detangle any knots.

## Conclusion

Regularly moisturizing the skin under your beard with Beard Bright Beard Oil or Beard Cream can help prevent dryness, itchiness, and flakiness. Choose the product that best suits your beard length and skin type, and enjoy a healthier, more comfortable beard.
