1
Wash your beard with shampoo. Some people prefer using baby shampoo because it is gentle; however, most men use the same shampoo for their beards as they use for their hair. When you wash your beard, lather the shampoo into it and make sure you rinse it completely. If any of the shampoo residues remain, you may experience itching and irritation.

2
Condition your beard. After rinsing out the shampoo, apply a small amount of conditioner to the beard and rinse it thoroughly with warm water. Avoid using hot water; which often promotes dryness. The conditioner you place on your beard helps soften the beard hair, which will help with the itching.

Avoid using a blow dryer to dry the beard. Instead, pat the beard with a towel.

Apply a moisturizing cream to the beard. Any type of lotion or cream promoting moisture works for a beard. If you keep your face and beard moisturized, your chances of having an itchy beard are greatly reduced.

5
Groom your beard. Use tweezers to remove ingrown hairs, which often cause itching, and comb your beard with a beard comb to help prevent growing these types of hairs. Another way to prevent itchiness in your beard is to switch to an electric shaver or beard trimmer from a manual shaver. Keep your beard well groomed and maintained daily and your itchiness will start to disappear.
