Knowing how to maintain your beard properly to avoid any problems is key.<\/p>\n<p>Can you scuba dive with a beard or moustache? Find out more here\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Potential Diving Issues<\/h2>\n<p>Snorkelling with a moustache and beard is absolutely fine. Understanding what can cause any problems will ensure you continue to dive in comfort. Possible reasons for discomfort include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A badly fitting mask that causes irritation<\/li>\n<li>Saltwater drying out your beard causing frizzing and crinkling<\/li>\n<li>Dry skin and hair due to burning from sunlight and salt exposure<\/li>\n<li>A badly growing or pointed beard that damages your mask<\/li>\n<li>When leaving the water, beards become unruly and wild<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Beard and Moustache Care<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7000 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scuba-mask-beard-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scuba-mask-beard-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scuba-mask-beard-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scuba-mask-beard-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scuba-mask-beard-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/scuba-mask-beard-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Aim to choose natural beard care products that protect you and the reef \u2013 those that don\u2019t contain any damaging chemicals. Both balms and waxes are best for styling. Balms are easy to apply and have super moisturising ingredients that help to resist drying of skin. Waxes have a stronger hold but can be more difficult to apply and remove.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebeardstruggle.com\/\">Beard oils give hydration and sheen<\/a>, and are ideal for preventing itchy, flaky skin for longer beards or newly grown out stubble. Before diving, apply the beard care product of your choosing.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for Bearded Divers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Shave the area under your nose to leave hairless \u2013 really good for big moustaches \u2013 or simply trim or thin out the hair here<\/li>\n<li>Use mask seal \u2013 a silicone grease that comes in a tube \u2013 applying it to the skirt of the mask that touches the moustache will reduce any leakage<\/li>\n<li>Try an alternative sealant \u2013 natural beeswax cuticle cream \u2013 can be applied liberally for good viscosity<\/li>\n<li>Secure flyaway longer beards with a hairband \u2013 this will help with any potential loss of vision underwater<\/li>\n<li>Rinse facial hair with warm, fresh water following each dive \u2013 this stops the saltwater from drying into the beard<\/li>\n<li>Apply all-natural beard oil to rehydrate skin after diving \u2013 and finish off by combing through with a non-static beard comb<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Get Scuba Mask Savvy<\/h2>\n<p>Can you use a full-face snorkel mask with a beard? The best scuba face mask for moustache and beard is a full face one. This type of face mask delivers a positive pressure which helps to seal the face mask to your face \u2013 preventing leaks. A high-quality, low profile mask with soft silicon is a favourite.<\/p>\n<p>Full face masks are comfortable to wear combining an integrated regulator and offering 180-degree vision. Many have additional features such as dive radio communication and diving lights built-in. This can make the mask slightly heavier \u2013 you need to try before purchasing if at all possible.<\/p>\n<p>Do full face snorkel masks work with beards? Yes, they do. This is because the masks come in two different sizes with three different sized plugs for a range of nose fittings. Finding the correct size and fitting is vital.<\/p>\n<p>There are three sets of straps that require fastening in sequence to get the most comfortable fit, and to ensure breathing is easy, and vision clear. And another great advantage is the provision of excellent coverage and protection against cold water.<\/p>\n<p>Full face masks are ideal for both recreational and technical divers as they\u2019re robust and well-made, and fit most people \u2013 bearded or not.<\/p>\n<h2>Put it to the Test<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kooxdiving.com\/en\/riviera-maya\/cancun\/\">Go scuba diving in Cancun<\/a> whether you\u2019re clean-shaven or sporting a beard!
