Reasons for patchy beard growth and what you can do about it
Do you dream of an even, full beard, but your cheeks remain bald? Don't worry, you're not alone. Many men struggle with this problem. It requires some patience, but there are solutions and products that can help you thicken your beard. In this article, you'll learn why beard growth often falters on your cheeks and what you can do about it. For detailed tips on how to stimulate your beard growth in general, we recommend our comprehensive article "Stimulating Beard Growth."
Causes of lack of beard growth on the cheeks
A thick beard is the dream of many men, but sometimes the cheek area remains sparse. There can be many different reasons for this:
Skin problems
Skin problems such as acne or dermatitis are among the most common causes. These skin conditions lead to inflammation and irritation, which can hinder hair growth . The health of your skin is crucial for even beard growth. If you suffer from skin problems, you should therefore pay particular attention to thorough and gentle facial care and cleansing . Sometimes only an expert can help: If symptoms persist or worsen, we also recommend consulting a dermatologist.
Other causes are:
Genetic factors
Genetic predisposition plays a major role in beard growth. If men in your family predominantly have sparse or irregular beard growth, chances are you're also affected. Genes determine how thick and where the beard grows.
Testosterone & hormonal imbalances
Testosterone is the hormone primarily responsible for beard growth. Men with higher testosterone levels tend to have thicker beards. Low testosterone levels or other hormonal imbalances can cause your beard to grow sparsely or incompletely.
Age and puberty
Beard growth typically begins during puberty and can continue into adulthood. Some men don't develop a fuller beard until their late twenties or even 30. Since we're often asked whether you can still grow a beard in your 30s, yes, it is possible to grow a thicker beard at age 30 or later.
Unhealthy lifestyle
Your lifestyle has a major influence on the growth of your beard hair. An unhealthy lifestyle can negatively impact beard growth. Stress, a poor diet with high alcohol and fatty foods, and lack of sleep can inhibit beard hair growth. A balanced lifestyle with a healthy diet and sufficient sleep, on the other hand, can have positive effects on your beard growth.
What to do if nothing helps?
If all tips for more beard growth do not work / have no effect, it is advisable to consult a doctor to get to the bottom of the cause and discuss possible medical treatments.
What to do if your beard doesn't grow in some places? – 3 tips for more beard growth
Want to stimulate your beard growth and finally achieve a thick, even beard? Don't worry, here are some tips and solutions that can help you.
Tip 1: The right beard care routine
It can be frustrating when your beard isn't growing in certain areas, especially if you want a full, even beard. But don't worry, with the right care routine and the right products, you can encourage and improve beard growth on your cheeks. Here's a step-by-step guide to your optimal beard care routine :
Step 1: Thorough cleaning
Start your routine by thoroughly cleansing your beard and facial skin. Use a mild beard shampoo specifically formulated for your beard's needs. Our Activator Beard Shampoo +Pro Strength gently cleanses and conditions your beard. A clean face is the foundation for healthy hair growth and helps prevent clogged pores.
Step 2: Microneedling with the beard roller
After cleansing, you can use the beard roller. The beard roller promotes blood circulation through microneedling, thus stimulating hair growth. The roller's tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, which can stimulate the natural healing process and boost the production of collagen and elastin. This improves the environment for hair growth and activates the hair follicles.
Step 3: Gently massage in beard serum
After microneedling, apply our innovative beard serum. Our Activator Beard Serum +Pro Strength is the ideal finishing touch to your new beard care routine. It contains the patented active ingredient Densi'Beard™ and a vitamin complex consisting of panthenol, niacin, biotin, and vitamin F, which effectively promote beard growth. Gently massage the serum into your skin so it can penetrate deep into the hair follicles and optimally absorb the nutrients.
Step 4: Moisturizing
To keep your skin and beard well-hydrated, you should regularly use a high-quality beard oil or beard cream . These products not only nourish your beard but also ensure that the skin underneath stays healthy and doesn't dry out.
Nutrient power for your beard
With biotin, zinc, L-cystine and a special nutrient complex, the Activator beard capsules support your beard growth and strengthen the beard hair from within, making them the ideal addition to your beard routine with the Activator series.
