What are beards good for?

Beards are all the rage. They're in every magazine, on every Instagram feed and dominating many of your favourite movies. However, some people are still wondering: What are beards good for? Well, we've got answers to that question and more! Keep reading to find out the health benefits of growing a beard...

Beards protect against disease.

Beards are good for protecting your skin.

A beard can be an effective barrier against UV rays, windburn and cold-weather chapping. In addition to this, a beard is also a great way to keep water out of your mouth and nose when swimming or snorkeling.

But the benefits don't stop there—beards can help protect you from bacteria and viruses too!

Beards make you look older.

A beard makes you look older. Most people associate a beard with wisdom and experience, which is why they're often associated with people like Santa Claus, Gandalf, and Dumbledore.

Beards make you look more authoritative. You might think that the only reason beards are associated with authority is because they're worn by those in positions of power (e.g., presidents). However, there's another reason: Beards give off a powerful vibe that subconsciously makes people feel as if they should listen to what you're saying!

Beards make you look more masculine—and not just because men usually grow them out—but because they also tend to make your face more angular and jutted out than if it were clean-shaven or had shorter hair on top instead of down below where everyone can see it unless he keeps his head down all day long so no one else notices anything about him except maybe how he likes using big words when talking about himself...

Beards can help with allergies.

You can also use your beard as a tool against allergy symptoms. Beards are well known for their ability to trap and hold pollen, dust, and other airborne contaminants that would otherwise irritate the respiratory system. This means that if you're sensitive to allergens like pollen or dust mites and live in an area with a lot of them (like Arizona), then having a beard may help keep your allergies from acting up as much.

Beards are good for your skin.

• Beards can help with facial hair growth. There are some men who have facial hair that stops growing at a certain length, and then there are others who have to shave every day or two just to keep everything neat. If you're in the latter group, then having a beard can be beneficial because it will allow you to grow out your face hairs without worrying about whether or not they'll turn into an unruly mess later on down the line.
• Beards can help keep your face warm in winter. In cold climates where temperatures regularly drop below freezing levels during wintertime months (or even colder), having a full beard may be one of the best ways for keeping your cheeks feeling nice and warm at all times! Just make sure that if you decide against shaving off those whiskers once spring rolls around again next year though: don't expect them all to come back so easily...

Beard oil is a thing.

• Beard oils can help with the itchiness of growing a beard.
• If you have a particularly dry skin or one that's prone to itching, beard oil can be used as an anti-itch treatment for your face.
• It can also reduce dandruff and beardruff (a.k.a., "bearddruff"), which is caused when dead skin cells accumulate under the hair follicles in your beard—not exactly what you want hanging out on your face all day long!

Beards may be beneficial to your health, self-esteem and social life.

• Beards are good for your skin. They can protect against the sun, which can help prevent skin cancer. They also keep you warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather.
• Beard oil (if you're not familiar with it) is a thing that you apply to your beard to keep it soft and shiny. These oils are made from natural ingredients like coconut oil or jojoba oil that moisturise the hair follicles under the skin of your face, preventing them from becoming brittle or dry as well as keeping dandruff at bay.
• Beards can make allergies less severe—but only if they're long enough to touch your collarbone or chest area! The longer length helps trap pollen inside of the whiskers so that when someone brushes up against them (or pets them), those little buggers aren't released into the air where they might irritate someone else's nose/eyes/throat area too much .

Conclusion

Now that you know why beards are good for you, it's time to go out and get one. If you don't have a beard already, then prepare yourself for the most glorious moment of your life when it arrives. If you're already rocking facial hair, then we can only assume that it's made an incredible impact on your life thus far. Either way, keep doing what makes sense in this world - because beards do!
