Whether you're rocking a lumberjack beard, keeping things trimmed and tidy, or struggling to grow more than stubble, this episode has you covered. Dr. Dustin Portela and PA Austin Lee dive into all things beard care—from how to clean the skin underneath to preventing common problems like ingrown hairs, irritation, and beard dandruff.
They explain conditions like pseudofolliculitis barbae (shaving bumps), seborrheic dermatitis under facial hair, and why those multi-blade razors might be causing more harm than good. Plus, they share practical tips on oils, balms, trimming techniques, and why sometimes switching to an electric razor can save your skin.
You'll also hear some fascinating beard trivia (hello, ancient Egyptian razors) and why growing facial hair might just be a summertime advantage. Whether you're a beard veteran or a bare-faced hopeful, this episode delivers practical advice and a few laughs along the way.
