but after you wash your face, rewash the beard area with dandruff shampoo. I have a goatee and I'm used to it, but I tried to grow a full beard once and couldn't stand the itching. A friend told me to wash it with dandruff shampoo so I tried it and it stopped itching. Maybe it'll help and maybe it won't, but at least you'll be able to tolerate it while you're going for your new "look".
