A beard prevents a good seal on the face which renders the mark useless as the air will just flow through the gaps rather than the filter as it’s a path of much lower air resistance. I have to shave mine off before doing any dusty work for this reason.
If you can’t shave your beard off you’ll want to get a full face thing. Couple people I’ve worked with had this style and seemed to rate them.

See if you can find out what that kindly old woodworking guy uses. He has a beard and uses a full head covering jobbie.

Are any of these masks any good if you have a beard or are you a bit screwed anyway in that case?
