As we witness it, we are all informed of climate changes, and the degradation of the ozone layer—we all know about the importance of protecting our skin against UV rays. Those rays from the sun are very damaging for our skin and are one of the main responsible for skin cancer. To the greatest joy of beardsmen—a recent study shows that beards can block up to 95% of UV rays directed to the face. To make it simple, the more your facial skin is exposed to sunlight, the more it is likely to be affected by skin diseases. On the contrary, the more dense and thick your beard is, the more your skin will be protected against UV rays which cause cancer.

Those who suffer from asthma or allergies should have a vested interest in growing a beard. Just like nose hair, beard and mustache bristles act as a filter. They capture and prevent dirty particles of pollen, dust, and other allergens from settling in your airways. Thus, the beard is like an armor that protects you and helps you reduce allergies and asthma symptoms. Obviously, if you have a beard and are allergic and/or asthmatic—it is very important to double check ingredients and take good care of your beard with appropriate beard grooming products.

While it is true to say that beard makes young men appear older—the contrast is also true. Compared to their counterparts beardless—older men with beards usually have beautiful underlying skin with little or none signs of aging—beards rejuvenates. This is explained by the fact that they use beard care products that also nourish their skin. Moreover, as mentioned above, beard helps to limit exposure of facial skin to UV rays. So, beard helps to prevent signs of aging of the skin that make us appear so old.

During cold and hostile periods—Men generally tend to wear big beards. Having such a beard in the winter is a net health benefit—since beards act as an insulator. The beard naturally warms and protects the neck, the bronchia, and the throat areas. Thus said, in the winter season—which is coming soon—beards are like a natural wall that helps to counteract all colds or other chronic diseases.

On one hand, there are people who are against beards and believe that beards collect dust, and are harmful—on the other hand, there are people who worship beards and who maintain theirs with appropriate products. Often, those who are against beards, are shaving enthousitast—who are too often unaware that shaving under a regular basis is just bad and damaging for the skin. Those who shave every day are more subject to make cuts and nicks and to have ingrown hairs and infections of hair follicles (folliculitis). In return, those who have a beard, are immune to these infections and skin imperfections and run no risk. In addition, men begin to use more than ever beard care beard products that also feed their underlying skin—The use of beard grooming products thus helps them to have a healthy and silky skin underneath.

The sebaceous glands, under your skin—Naturally secrete an oil that helps to keep your face well-moistened. The beard protects the skin of your face against the cold and rough winds—which could dry out your skin and rid it off of his natural oil. Finally, the bearded men using beard products such as beard oil and beard balm often have a perfectly hydrated beard and skin.

Generally, shaving fans spend 15 to 30 minutes a day to shave. When you grow a big beard—No need to spend so much time in front of the mirror of the bathroom. Only five minutes, one to two times a day, does the job—Time to apply beard oil and comb your mane. It is the same for when you like to have a short beard (stubble) with a beard trimmer. You only need to trim your beard after one or two weeks of growth—Imagine all the wonderful things you can do, you and your beard, while the shaving fanatics are staying in front of their mirror to shave and wait for their next hairs grow.

Facial hair in all its forms allows men to express their personality. Obviously, it is not all men who have the luxury to grow a beard—whether for genetic reasons, by choice or simply because it is prohibited for them and that's okay like this. From those who wear beards—many of them will claim to receive good numbers of positive feedback on their facial hair and will say that they feel more attractive and confident—Moreover, many men wearing beards admit that it is easier for them to exercise their leadership in a group given their good self-confidence and self-esteem.

According to a recent study by a team of psychologists from the University of Northumbria in England—men with beards would be seen by women as being more aggressive, dominant, mature and masculine—The bearded men would be especially seen as being great partners for any kind of relationship—whether it is for, a short or a long-term relationship or for, a serious or a non-serious one. Finally, this study demonstrated that the beard is seen by women as a powerful socio-sexual signal and as a sign of sexual maturity—Some women are even pogonophiles. That is to say, they are completely in love with beards.
