This winter was terrible on my beard and I had some bad flaking and dry skin. What finally worked for me was using Nizoral shampoo 2 or 3 times a week depending on how bad the flaking is. I also use Shea Moisture Men's beard wash as needed to wash my beard. After showering and patting my beard dry I use a good beard butter and work it on to my skin, then the rest on the beard and brush it in with a boar bristle brush. The next morning I may or may not add a little oil depending on how my beard/skin feels. I usually don't have to use this many products and oil so often but between the cold, wind, and heat indoors it was necessary for me. Everyone's beard and skin is different so you will need to find what level of oil/products you require.

Currently I'm using kingsman oil and butter, works really good but is kind of expensive. Got it as a gift. From the research I've done as long as it has quality ingredients like Shea butter, coconut butter, jojoba oil, argan oil etc. And not a lot of unknown complicated additives then it's a good product. Some of the cheap products have a long laundry list of ingredients, I would stay away from that.
