I've recently grown out my beard a bit and noticed that the Dove men's bar soap I usually use for my face and body is leaving my beard feeling dry and unhealthy. I've tried using shampoo, but the one I have is quite oily and makes my skin break out. I'm looking for tips on what products are good for washing both my face and beard without causing dryness or irritation.

The big advice here is to avoid washing your beard every day unless it's particularly dirty or you're sweating a lot. Just rinsing with water on off days can help maintain natural oils. Most people suggest washing your beard 2-3 times a week with a proper beard shampoo or just a gentle cleanser.
If I skip washing mine for a few days, I start getting flakes. What should I do?
Cetaphil face wash is all you need! It's super basic, non-comedogenic, and doesn’t clog your pores. I swear by it for keeping my face and beard clean without irritation.
Totally agree! Cetaphil works wonders on my skin too.
Absolutely, Cerave is another great option that's dermatologist-approved.
I've been using beard shampoo and conditioner every other day and applying beard oil daily. If my beard gets unruly, I use a bit of sea salt spray after showering. It helps keep it nice and manageable!
Consider trying out a beard shampoo or conditioner. Personally, I use a balm more than oil, which works well for me. For my face, I stick to Dove men’s face wash and a moisturizer, which keeps everything feeling fresh and hydrated.
I had a good experience with BlueBeard's products; the beard oil made a noticeable difference for me.
I've been using maple nectar on my beard, and it’s been great!
I've grown a long beard and experimented a lot. I found that using my wife's Suave Professionals shampoo and conditioner really softens it up! Just keep it to showering regularly and it should look great!
That's good to hear! But how do you keep your face clean without washing your beard every time?
