What is the best care for my moustache?

Home / Men's Grooming / Beard and Moustache / Moustache wax

Grooming your moustache is not that different from grooming your beard. If you are blessed with both a beard and a moustache, you can actually groom both at the same time. However, there is one important difference. We will tell you more about it in this article.

  • How do I care for my moustache?

    Just like a beard that is not properly cared for and maintained, a moustache that is not cared for and maintained will also show a lot of discomfort. Lack of proper care can cause dryness, itching, flaking, skin irritations, dull, coarse and hard hairs. Actually, we should say "will" cause instead of "can" cause. Because one thing is for sure: a moustache that is not properly cared for and maintained will undoubtedly show these discomforts sooner or later, and sooner rather than later.

    By applying the following steps, you will certainly create the optimal conditions whereby all these inconveniences will be avoided and you will become the proud owner of a moustache that is in top condition. At least if you carry out the steps consistently and persevere. These are the different care steps that you should apply:

    • to wash
    • brushing
    • trim if there are protruding hairs
    • nourish and hydrate
    • to model

    Read our article on caring for your beard for a more detailed explanation of all these steps. This explanation also applies to a moustache. Except for one product. Read on to find out more about this.
    How do I care for and maintain my beard?

    • There is, however, one important difference in the care of a beard and a moustache.

      And that difference in care has to do with styling in particular. That difference is indeed in styling your moustache. You can't use the same product for this as you do for styling your beard. That requires a specific product that is specially made for what it is supposed to be used for. Read on below and find out all about it.

    • Can I use the same products for my moustache as for my beard?

      All the products you use to maintain your beard can also be used for your moustache, with one exception. You can use the same products to wash, nourish and hydrate. In fact, if you have a beard and a moustache, you can do these things at the same time for both. It is not the case that you first have to do the full care for one and then the same things for the second. Fortunately. But to style your moustache, you really need a stronger product than the beard balm you use to style and shape your beard. After all, the moustache hairs are even stiffer and wilder than the beard hairs and beard balm is simply not strong enough to give your moustache enough hold to keep it in shape all day long. Moustache wax is stronger and harder than beard balm and that is exactly what that stubborn, headstrong moustache of yours needs to keep it under control. All day long!

    • What is the difference between a moustache wax and a beard balm?

      Both products usually contain beeswax or another wax. Beeswax provides nourishment and much-needed nutrients, including vitamin A, to the hair, but beeswax mainly provides the firmness that these products need to be able to style with them. The beeswax content in moustache wax is proportionally higher than the beeswax content in beard balm, precisely to give moustache wax that extra firmness it needs to style your moustache.
