The “advantages” of a beard
The beard, therefore, says a lot about a man’s aspirations.

The beard has, in fact, the advantage of balancing the most pronounced contours to obtain a harmonious result. «A very square face can benefit, for example, from softer and more rounded beard types, while long and oval faces look good with a more rigorous cut». Thus the Viking beard, long and pointed, suits those who want to hide a round chin, while the hipster one, full but well-groomed, fills triangular faces.

And the moustache? A recognizable detail
The situation is different for “accessories”. Mustaches, for example, are flattering for everyone. Even those in the shape of a handlebar, with a curved appearance, which represent the emblem of the true gentleman. «In this case it is not a problem of face shape, but rather of look and attitude» explains Gennaro Agliottone of Barberia Figaro in Civitanova Marche, which collaborates with the Proraso brand.
«Handlebar mustaches need to be styled daily with specific products and also require consistency in the clothing and style that must be sought”. The goatee, on the other hand, is perfect for those who want an alternative and unconventional look.
Men’s beauty: the essentials
The daily attentions
Whatever style you choose, the beard forces men to constant care not much different from what ladies do to keep their hair shiny. There’s no need to be maniacal. Although there is a big difference between beard and hair. The first, in fact, grows on the face at a constant speed of three or four millimeters, thus requiring some extra care.
«Hair and shaving, for example, can cause capillary fragility and folliculitis» explains Corinna Rigoni, president of Donne Dermatologhe Italia. A Swiss study published in the scientific journal European Radiology confirmed how There are more bacteria on a human beard than on a dog’s fur. This is why daily cleaning must be rigorous.
It’s not enough for a man to quickly rinse his face either. You need specific shampoo and conditioner based on tea tree oil and argan oil. The first is a natural antimicrobial, while the second facilitates styling and protects the fur from unpleasant odors and smog.
