So, I’m all about hitting the pool, but my beard always pays the price. I’ve heard you’re supposed to prep your beard before diving in. Anyone got a solid pre-swim beard routine to shield against that harsh pool water?
yo prepping your beard is key cuz chlorine’s a beast for drying it out. wet your beard first with fresh water so it absorbs less pool water then slather on some beard oil to lock in moisture. post-swim rinse & reapply oil to keep it soft n hydrated
To maximize value, consider using a leave-in conditioner instead of beard oil pre-swim—it’s often more cost-effective and provides a stronger moisture barrier. Post-swim, a DIY vinegar rinse (1 part apple cider vinegar to 3 parts water) can neutralize chlorine without breaking the bank. For long-term savings, invest in a quality beard wash that lasts months, ensuring your beard stays healthy without frequent product replacements. Prioritize products with natural ingredients to avoid future damage costs.
