Hidden Health Benefits
You may be surprised to know there’s a healthy side to growing out your beard. Your beard will trap allergens and prevent them from entering your airway. Like how your nose hair does. That may sound like a strange bonus, but if you’re sensitive to allergies it’s a great plus.
You’ll also gain added protection from the sun which keeps your skin youthful and lowers your chances of skin cancer. I know that might not be a crazy thing to make you want to grow it out, but it’s a decent side benefit you’re getting.
