What is Movember & how can I get involved?
Movember is a charity that helps to fundraise across a variety of projects, from mental health and suicide prevention to testicular and prostate cancer. One of the campaigns involved takes place across the month of November, where you are encouraged to grow a moustache across the month. The idea is that this will raise both funds and awareness for men’s health.
There are various styles you can aim for along with ways that you can fundraise; you can find out more here.
If you or someone you know is affected by any of the aforementioned men’s health issues, it is important to remember that you are not alone. You should never feel ashamed to reach out; you can find a list of support resources here:

How to maintain your facial hair – the best men’s grooming products
Make sure you keep your facial hair clean
In terms of keeping your new facial hair clean, it may be tempting to reach for your everyday shampoo. However, it is important to note that the chemicals from hair shampoos can strip your beard of its natural oils. Also, the skin on your face can even become dry or sensitive as a result. That’s why a good beard wash, such as The Bearded Man Co’s all in one product, is vital. Ingredients such as vitamin b5 and wheat protein hydrates will naturally leave your facial hair feeling cleaner and softer.
If you’re looking to pamper your facial hair, we do also offer a 60-second conditioning treatment. The treatment intensively conditions, hydrates and moisturises your beard for the ultimate sense of luxury.

Follow up with an oil
Once you have cleaned your facial hair, beard oil is the key to keeping it looking and feeling happy and healthy. It contains natural ingredients so that your new look does not cost you the condition of your skin.
If you are looking to pass on your newfound grooming knowledge this season, we also offer Christmas gifts. Our beard care advent calendar will allow a loved one, or even yourself, to try adding luxurious beard oils to their routine. You can also get a gift box of two beard oils to help make sure their facial hair stays nourished and hydrated all year round.

Keeping it tidy
If you are looking to keep your moustache’s style and shape, we would also recommend a moustache wax such as this one. Wax will help you to tame any flyaways and keep your style all day long.
You can also opt for their Beard balm for both nourishment and styling. The product contains all of the benefits of beard oil, whilst also taming your facial hair. This will allow you to create and maintain a look quickly and easily to fit around your busy schedule.
Additionally, there is an option to help soothe your skin if you have shorter facial hair. The moisturiser is naturally antibacterial and also works wonders on blemishes, ingrown hairs, stubble irritation and blocked pores as well.
