The secret to a soft beard and hydrated skin
A well-groomed beard is the result of a consistent routine and products specifically formulated to work deep down. It’s not just about growing it out—it’s about taking daily care of the hair and the skin underneath. Hydration plays a key role in preventing dryness, flaking, and itchiness, keeping the beard soft, manageable, and visually tidy. Using a high-quality aftershave isn’t optional—it’s an essential part of a man’s skincare routine. It soothes the skin after shaving, prevents irritation, and helps restore the skin’s natural moisture balance.
With Jasmine and Skye, The Inglorious Mariner offers two technically advanced solutions that hydrate, soothe, and tone both face and beard in a single step.
How to soften your beard with aftershave and natural oils
A dry, coarse, and unruly beard isn’t just unattractive—it can also affect the health of the skin underneath. When beard hair doesn’t get the hydration it needs, it tends to stiffen, causing itchiness, flaking, and minor skin irritation. To keep your beard soft, neat, and visibly healthy, it's essential to follow a consistent routine that combines targeted cleansing, deep nourishment, and ongoing hydration.
1. Daily Cleansing
Good hygiene is the first step toward a healthy beard. Using a beard-specific cleanser helps remove impurities and excess sebum, preventing irritation and dandruff.
The crew recommends Amber—a scented beard shampoo made with exotic oils like jojoba, almond, and rice bran. This softening product is ideal for cleansing the skin beneath the beard. It helps delay and prevent dandruff, keeps facial skin properly hydrated, and sanitizes beard and mustache while eliminating the persistent odors your beard can absorb throughout the day.
2. Hydration with Oils and Balms
After cleansing, it’s crucial to apply a beard oil or balm. Natural oil-based formulas—such as jojoba or argan oil—nourish the hair, making it softer to the touch, while balms help tame and style the beard.
Our nourishing beard oil, Vanilla, is suitable for all beard types. Vanilla softens and adds shine to your beard while eliminating unpleasant odors. It contains vitamin A, sweet almond oil, and rice bran oil. Its deep emollient power supports cellular renewal in the skin beneath the beard, keeping it hydrated at all times.
Lilly, on the other hand, is a scented hydrating balm that softens the beard, making it easier to shape. It contains exotic oils, sweet almonds, and an active ingredient that treats the skin beneath the beard. It’s an excellent choice not only for styling but also for moisturizing the skin underneath.
3. Combing and Massaging
Using a mixed-bristle brush helps distribute hydration products evenly and stimulates skin circulation, encouraging the growth of a healthy, full beard.
The Importance of Aftershave: what is it for?
Even if your beard is thick and well-groomed, it’s still important to care for your facial skin. After shaving or defining the edges, applying a high-quality aftershave helps maintain skin balance, preventing redness, micro-cuts, and dryness. A good post-shave routine improves skin appearance and contributes to daily comfort.
Jasmine: freshness and hydration without alcohol
If you’re looking for an aftershave that refreshes your skin without being harsh, Jasmine is the ideal choice. With its alcohol-free formula, this lotion delivers a soothing and hydrating effect—perfect for sensitive skin.
Just apply a few drops of Jasmine to your face right after shaving for an energizing and toning boost.
Skye: soothing effect and instant freshness
If you prefer a more intense refreshing sensation, our new Skye aftershave lotion is the perfect solution. Thanks to its alcohol-based formula, it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling toned and revitalized.
Used daily, Skye keeps skin soft, firm, and balanced—ideal for starting your day with energy.
Are alcohol-based aftershaves bad for your skin?
Alcohol-based aftershaves like Skye aren’t necessarily harmful. They can provide an astringent and cooling effect. Skye is formulated with soothing and hydrating ingredients to help reduce redness and irritation, counteracting the drying effects of alcohol while keeping the skin firm and soft.
The perfect Beard Routine: aftershave and daily hydration
A perfect beard requires consistency—and the right products. A well-rounded routine of cleansing, hydration, and trimming ensures a tidy, groomed appearance every day. Jasmine and Skye are both excellent post-shave options to suit different skin types and personal preferences. If you want a gentle, hydrating effect, go for Jasmine. If you prefer a more invigorating and toning result, Skye is your best bet.
Whatever you choose, keeping your beard and skin in great shape isn’t just about looks—it’s about feeling your best every day. Choose the aftershave that suits you and enjoy a perfect beard!
