Wash your facial hair with a moisturizing shampoo. Use your hands to rub a small amount of shampoo into your facial hair in much the same manner as you lather up the hair on your head. This step is particularly important for men with long beards, as it keeps facial hair clean and free of excess sebum.

Condition your facial hair. After you've rinsed off the shampoo, rub some conditioner into your facial hair and let it sit for a minute or two before rinsing it off. This will give the conditioner's moisturizing properties ample time to take hold.

Tips & Warnings
When shopping for a good facial hair conditioner, you can't go wrong with a jojoba oil-based product. This type of oil opens up your hair follicles and is quickly absorbed.
