Facial Hair sometimes also inhibits skin cell respiration and can cause your pores to become clogged, resulting in a higher likelihood of getting small spots within your beard also.

Next, if you're applying tinted moisturiser or foundation, remember to apply directly to your forehead, around your cheeks, nose and only secondary rub it into your beard - basically meaning don't put blobs of product in the palm of your hand and rub directly into your beard.

None of these areas are where your beard should be, unless you're auditioning to be an extra on the next 300 film. Play in the right areas gents and combining makeup, beard growth and perfect skin will reap you so many rewards inside and outside of the bathroom.
