1- CUT THE CHANCE OF CANCER
Beards act like a sort of screen, capable of blocking up to 95% of the sun's harmful UV rays, which means the chance of you developing skin cancer there is significantly reduced!
2- FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
Those very same UV rays also contribute to skin ageing; resulting in dark spots and wrinkling. Grow facial hair and you can get ahead of the game - looking younger for longer.
3- NATURAL WINTER WARMER
Beards are weather-proof too! Not only do they trap heat in, keeping your face toasty warm during the winter, they also help keep the elements out - protecting you from the blistering cold!
4- PROTECTS AGAINST DISEASE
Your beard also performs essentially as a hairy filter. that can snare pesky airborne bacteria acting to prevent disease and also aid your breathing - particularly helping those with reactive conditions such as Asthma.
5- SLASHES YOUR RISK OF INFECTION
Dermatologists say that not shaving (and hence growing a beard) will help prevent infections caused by bacteria naturally residing on the skin - this can help you to stay blemish free.
6- LEVEL UP YOUR SEX LIFE
the one you've been waiting for, do they help when it comes to the ladies? you bet they do! One study proposes that guys with a bit of facial hair are the best sexual flings, whilst two others suggest that beards make men feel and appear more attractive. A light beard could just well be the wingman you need.
7- ENHANCE FACIAL FEATURES
A beard has a few side benefits as well. They can cover up potential acne scars and current spots, compliment your facial structure (like strengthening a weak chin) and provide you with a more pronounced jawline to help balance out your face.
8- IMPROVE TRUSTWORTHINESS
“the Man Behind the Beard" study found individuals would be more likely to judge bearded over non-bearded faces as being "trustworthy" - the results being that, roughly 2/3 of participants prefrred a bearded man to a beardless one.
9- REDUCES INGROWN HAIRS
Put your razor down! Stopping shaving and just letting your hair grow freely is one of the best and simplest ways to prevent ingrowing hairs.
10- MORE MASCULINE
When looking at women's perceptions of beards. a study found a man's masculinity ratings elevated "linearly" as facial hair increased. in fact, a beard also impacts on a guy's self-perception. potentially leading them to become more confident and assertive.
11- INCREASED SOCIAL STATUS
Not only can sporting facial hair help you come across as healthier and a better parent. another study found that it can also offer you an aura of higher social status and power.
12- NATURAL MOISTURE
Sebaceous glands secrete sebum - oils that we produce to lubricate our skin and hair. However. when you've got a beard, it helps to retain this natural moisturiser for longer. keeping your skin and facial hair healthier.
13- RAMP UP THE ROMANCE
One beard survey found that 74% of guys owning a man mane were already in a relationship (or married). not too surprising realty, given another study found them to come across as better romantic partners too.
14- IMPROVE YOUR SALES
A UK car sales company asked participants which face would they more likely buy a car from - those who had no facial hair were least likely, whereas those with a trimmed and well kept beard were considered most likely and the best salesmen of all.
15- CAREER ENHANCING
A rather interesting self-experiment found a fake beard almost tripled the amount of responses a freelancer received when inquiring about job openings - jumping from 12% to a staggering 35%.
