Every man, at some point in his life, has looked in the mirror with that "what if I shave it all off?" or, conversely, "what if I grow a beard?" kind of face. It's as common a dilemma as choosing between pizza with or without pineapple.
Today we're diving headfirst into this age-old battle of male style: beard vs. clean-shaven . What makes you look more attractive? What do women (and men) prefer? What does science say? And most importantly… what makes you feel more like yourself?
The power of the beard: more than just facial hair
Wearing a beard isn't just an aesthetic choice; it's almost a statement of intent. Studies (like this one from the Journal of Evolutionary Biology ) show that men with beards are perceived as more mature, more dominant, and more attractive for long-term relationships .
Come on, if you're thinking about settling down, a well-groomed beard might just give you extra points in the love rankings. Besides, a well-groomed beard (and I'm not talking about just letting it grow wild) can disguise imperfections, redefine your jawline, and give you a more masculine look (Instagram filters ).
However, not just any beard will do . A good beard needs care and time, and that's where Beardburys Essentials' Beard Potion comes in, a conditioning cream that adds softness and shine to the beard without the oily effect of other products.
The shaved face: clean and timeless elegance
On the other hand, there's the clean-shaven crowd, those brave souls who embrace classic elegance. A beardless face can convey cleanliness, freshness, and youth . It's the perfect look for those who want a more understated style and to project confidence.
And yes, there are studies that say shaving can make you seem more approachable or trustworthy . Sometimes, less is more.
However, if you decide to shave, post-shave care is key . Avoid making your face look like a battleground with Beardburys Essentials After Shave , which not only soothes and moisturizes, but also leaves you feeling refreshed and ready to greet yourself.
So, what looks better?
Well, it depends. And yes, we know you were expecting a more definitive answer, but the truth is, the key is knowing yourself .
👉 If you have a thick beard, an oblong face, and want to enhance your masculine look: go for it ! But make sure it's well-groomed, trimmed, and properly moisturized. Give it your all with Beard Potion .
👉 If you prefer a more youthful look, have little facial hair, or like the feeling of a freshly washed face: a clean shave is for you. But do it right and avoid unnecessary irritation or redness with aftershave .
Not sure what suits you best? Nothing beats a change of look to boost your energy. Try growing a beard one month and shaving the next. Choose what makes you feel your best . Because in the end, that's what really matters (and is appreciated).
Whatever the case, remember: your style starts with skincare . And for that, Beardburys Essentials has just what your face needs.
