Beard Goals: 5 Tips for a Softer, Healthier Beard This Summer

Beard Goals: 5 Tips for a Softer, Healthier Beard This Summer

When the sun is out and the temps are rising, your beard needs just as much love as your skin. Heat, sweat, saltwater, and sun can all take a toll—leaving your beard dry, coarse, and feeling less than its best.

But don’t worry—we’ve got you (and your beard) covered. Whether you're growing it out or keeping it trim, here are 5 essential summer tips to help you maintain a soft, healthy, and glorious beard all season long.

1. Wash Without Stripping

Just like the hair on your head, your beard needs regular cleansing to remove sweat, dirt, and excess oil—but without over-drying. Use a gentle, natural soap or cleanser designed for skin and hair. Tulip Blooms’ Tuxedo Artisan Soap is a great choice for a refreshing, conditioning cleanse that smells incredible and keeps your beard clean without harsh ingredients.

2. Condition with Purpose

Summer sun can zap moisture, making your beard feel rough and brittle. That’s where our hero product comes in:
💧 The Blooming Beard & Hair Elixir 💧
Made with nourishing oils like argan, jojoba, and vitamin E, this lightweight elixir restores moisture, adds shine, and helps reduce breakage. Use a few drops after washing or before heading out—your beard will thank you.

3. Keep It Combed & Tidy

A wide-tooth wooden comb helps distribute oils evenly and keeps stray hairs in check. Plus, regular combing prevents tangles and trains your beard to grow in the right direction. Pro tip: comb after applying your Blooming Elixir to spread the hydration and tame flyaways.

4. Trim to Beat the Heat

If your beard feels heavy or itchy in the summer, a simple shape-up can make a big difference. Trimming helps prevent split ends and keeps your beard looking sharp and intentional. No need for drastic changes—just keep it clean around the edges and neck.

5. Don’t Skip SPF

Your skin beneath the beard is still exposed to the sun, especially with patchy or thinner beards. Apply a light facial SPF daily to avoid dryness, irritation, and sunburn. Bonus: your beard will look better if the skin underneath is healthy.

🌿 Summer Beard, But Make It Bloom

Beard care is self-care. This summer, commit to a grooming routine that makes you feel good—and lets your natural confidence shine through. Whether you're gifting it to a deserving dad or treating yourself, the Blooming Beard & Hair Elixir is the season’s must-have.
