Frequently Asked Questions

What is beard oil used for?

Beard oil is like conditioner for your beard. It also acts as a lotion for the facial skin underneath the beard, keeping it soft and moisturized, which is important to avoid redness and peeling. Most people with beards should use beard oil twice daily: once in the morning and once at night. This will keep your beard in top condition.

What is the difference between briefs and boxers? What are boxer briefs?

Boxers (or boxer shorts) are designed like loose shorts. They typically have a loose fit, and they do not usually provide much support or protection. Briefs are tighter and tend to land higher on the leg. Boxer briefs are a combination of the two. They have the supportive fit of briefs with the length of boxers.

What’s the use of beard shampoo?

Similar to beard oil, beard shampoo is specially created to keep the skin underneath your beard from drying out and flaking. It will also keep the beard soft and shiny. Not everyone needs to use beard shampoo — if you have a short beard or stubble, you can often get away with using regular shampoo. However, people with longer beards or those who want to take special care of their facial hair will benefit from the product.
