Blocks UV Rays therefor: Fewer wrinkles
Research indicates that beards of a certain thickness can prevent about 95 per cent of the sun’s UV rays.

A beard protects your face against the sun’s rays and hence will take longer to develop wrinkles, making you look younger.
No acne
When shaving regularly, you are more likely to develop pimples and acne. If one has a beard, it is less likely that he develops acne as the underlying skin would be smooth. When shaving you are distributing the bacteria which can develop on your face.

When all the research subjects grew their beards back, researchers selected samples of both males and females to review the pictures and provide their feedback. As the beards became fuller, there was a positive correlation with perceptions of maturity, attractiveness and health.
