There are so few certainties in this life. We were all born, we will all die, G&G Girls are crazytown about beards…these are things we can always count on. And, unfortunately, one thing you can usually count on when you schmake out with a beard is beard burn. This is just a fact of life.
As certified beard aficionados, the Girls have schmade out with beards in every stage of their beautiful form. From the 5 o’clock shadow to a full on two-years worth of beard, we’ve got it all covered. And we’re not gonna lie – we think schmakin out with a scruffy cutie is worth a little beard burn.
If you’re really suffering though…well there are some things you can do. First off: moisturize moisturize moisturize! That goes for both of you. If your skin is dry, his stubble is just gonna do more damage. To soothe beard burn, use a healing ointment like Aquaphor or aloe like you would for a sunburn.
Also, we’ve found that if you work through the pain, your skin eventually just gets used to it. The human body is a miraculous thing.
The beard burn factor is also dependent upon what kind of facial hair we’re dealing with. Five o’clock shadows and a couple day’s worth of scruff are the worst offenders. Those short, prickly hairs are just so abrasive. I once had a scruffy guy pause mid-makeout to growl, “I’m gonna exfoliate the shit out of you.” Uh…whoa baby? No thank you.
A full-on beard is the best way to go. It’s like a built in cushion for your face! The longer the hair gets, the softer it is. Just like your legs – if you go long enough without shaving, that prickly stubble will turn into soft silky hair.
G&G’s not about to let a little beard burn get them down, and neither should you. We’re gonna keep smooching those beardos for life baby!
