Seborrhoeic dermatitis of the beard: facial routine for men with oily and acne-prone skin

When seborrheic dermatitis is localised in the beard area and the forehead tends to be acne-prone, a routine that combines purification with respect for the skin barrier is needed.

When seborrheic dermatitis is localised in the beard area and the forehead tends to be acne-prone, a routine that combines purification and respect for the skin barrier is needed.

The ESTĒREL Method involves:

1. controlled exfoliation once a week,
2. gentle daily cleansing,
3. targeted treatment on acne-prone areas,
4. purifying day cream, and
5. detoxifying night cream.

If you shave often, use specific shaving and post-shave products (Crème Rasage Purifiante pH + Baume Après Rasage Purifiant pH). Note: seborrheic dermatitis and late-onset acne are complex conditions; the protocols below are cosmetic and aim to improve comfort and appearance.

Why seborrheic dermatitis is so common in beards

The beard area is subject to:

• sebum + residue (easier occlusion),
• irritation from shaving,
• alternating between ‘dry’ and shinier phases.
• This is why an effective routine must be regular and ‘measured’: no aggression, but consistent actions.
