If you've ever dated a guy with a beard, you're familiar with "beard funk." You know, that vague food smell emanating from your man's facial hair, causing you to wonder WTF he ate earlier. Having spent the last six years of my life with a man with facial hair, I can tell you that you neither get used to it nor learn to love it. You just deal with it, because love. In my experience, this beard funk stems from men thinking that splashing water on their face is equivalent to washing it. (Spoiler alert: It's not.)

But the tipping point came when I arrived home from a weekend trip to find the boyfriend sporting an enormous pimple on his chin, beneath his beard. Turns out, he had gone paddle boarding, used water-resistant sunscreen not made for his face on his face (shudder) and neglected to wash it ... for 24 hours. Only after he swore he'd do none of those things ever again, I agreed to help him get rid of his Mount Everest. Here's what happened.
