November is more than just the start of winter; it's also the month dedicated to Movember, the global initiative that raises awareness for men’s health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. It’s a time to grow, groom, and proudly showcase that moustache! We spoke with Yazan Sadoud, co-owner at soon-to-launch Chaps & Co Vida Creek Beach, to get expert advice on how to keep your mustache looking sharp throughout Movember and beyond. Here are five essential tips for mustache maintenance that’ll help you make a stylish statement while supporting a great cause.
Start with a Clean Slate
According to Yazan, the first step to a great moustache is cleanliness. "Keeping your moustache clean is crucial, not just for appearance but for its overall health," he says. "Use a gentle, moisturizing face wash daily—something made specifically for facial hair. It’ll help remove dirt without stripping away those natural oils you need." A clean base makes a big difference in styling, he explains, as it’s easier to groom and keeps your moustache soft and healthy.
Master the Trim
While trimming at home works for regular maintenance, Yazan emphasizes the importance of seeing a professional. "A good trim every 2-3 weeks really helps to keep your moustache in shape and prevents overgrowth," he advises. A barber can also help you find the best style to suit your face. "At-home trimming is great, but a professional touch-up makes a world of difference, and they can teach you techniques to keep things neat between visits."

Protect Against the Heat
Living in a hot climate can take a toll on facial hair, and Yazan recommends taking precautions to avoid damage. "The intense heat can dry out your mustache, making it brittle and prone to breakage," he says. "I suggest using a lightweight beard oil or a leave-in conditioner with UV protection. Just a few drops before you head out will lock in moisture and shield your mustache from sun damage." A small step like this can have a huge impact on the look and health of your mustache.
Consistency is Key
For a well-groomed mustache, regular care is essential. "Commitment is everything," Yazan says with a smile. "Set aside time each week—whether it’s a quick trim, deep conditioning, or a barber visit. That routine keeps your mustache looking its best, and the results are worth it." With a little consistency, your mustache will stay polished and stylish all month.

Have Fun and Support a Cause This Movember
Finally, Yazan reminds us that Movember is about more than just grooming—it's a chance to show support for men’s health. "Movember is the perfect time to experiment with new styles. Go bold with a handlebar or try something classic like a chevron," he suggests. "Every style choice can be a conversation starter, sparking awareness for men’s health issues, from cancer to mental well-being. Movember is about showing solidarity, so why not make your mustache a statement for a great cause?"
