Get ready to celebrate National No Beard Day on October 18th! This fun day was created in the early 2000s to celebrate being facial hair-free and show appreciation for those who can't grow a beard. It's also a great time to recognize all of the hard work that goes into maintaining clean shaven faces every day. Whether you choose to shave or not, this is an occasion worth celebrating!
