Beards are more than a confidence booster and a
good source of attraction for testosterone-chasers aka ladies. There are a host
of proven health benefits to keeping a beard. Read on as we detailly explore
the amazing health benefits beards provide.
1. Beards
can protect a man's face from damaging sun rays. Dermatoheliosis/photoaging
describes the damage the skin suffers as a result of chronic UVA and UVB
exposure. Beards are reportedly able to block up to 95% of these harmful sun
rays.
2. Beards
keep your face moisturized. The sebaceous glands underneath the skin excrete
oils that moisturize the skin. Men who do not keep beards have their skin
constantly exposed to drying from the wind or the sun, and are more likely to
suffer from skin conditions related to dryness. With a beard, the moisture
provided by oils excreted from the sebaceous glands is locked in and the skin
is healthy and nourished.
3. Beards
prevent shaving side effects such as acne flare-ups, ingrown hair,
folliculitis, bacterial infections from shaving cuts. To avoid these side
effects and enjoy healthy facial skin, consider growing a beard - a neat one.
4. According
to a study published in the journal Radiation Protection Dosimetry, beards
offer wrinkle protection and decrease the risk for skin cancer since they block
a great deal of UV sun rays.
