Make use of anti-dandruff shampoo: Sometimes an antidandruff shampoo is all you need to say goodbye to those flakes. But don’t do it too often, twice a week can be a good practice. Moreover, while shampooing, work your fingertips down to the roots of your beard hair. Ensure you are making contact with the skin underneath your beard.
Keep the moisture intact: After shampooing, moisturising is must to keep your skin healthy and happy. First moisturise your face well, and then massage your beard, deep into the hair roots.

Exfoliate: Exfoliating will shed all those dead skin cells away before they can dry out and flake off during the day. Thus, after taking a shower, don’t forget to gently scrub your face with a washed cloth.

Avoid use of hot water: Use of hot water makes your skin dry and can lead to an unruly beard.
