Bread-druff is of course dandruff of the beard, red, itchy, scaly and flaky skin. It predominantly occurs due to a microbe called Malassezia globosa, which grows in oily areas of the body. Two areas where excess oil tends to easily accumulate is on the scalp and under the beard. Beard-druff can also be the result of dry skin or from sensitivity to grooming products.

The best way to manage beard-ruff is though a routine of exfoliation, cleansing and moisturising. This routine will not only get rid of beard-ruff but will also prevent it from coming back.
- Exfoliate:
Exfoliating is a common practice that helps to remove dead skin cells. For beard-ruff, exfoliate with the help of a beard brush. You will see a clear difference in just a few days once you start exfoliating your beard. For a deep exfoliation try Proraso’s Beard Exfoliating Paste.

Wash your beard with a specially formulated beard wash. We stock several varieties here at Barber Industries Morisset. Good beard wash is gentle on the skin but powerful enough to clean away dirt, grime and dead skin cells. The wash will moisturise the skin while controlling your natural oils.
- Moisturise:
The importance of moisturising can't be understated. You should apply a quality beard oil, balm or cream to your beard every day at the very minimum. For good routine, apply after washing and drying in the morning and evening.
