What is the difference between "mustache" and "beard"?

Rebecca

The difference between a "beard" and a "mustache" is that the "beard" is facial hair that grows on the chin and cheeks. While a "mustache" is facial hair grown on the upper lip only. Sometimes the two are connected on the face. Ex: A. I'm thinking of shaving my beard! B. Really!? What about your mustache? A. Oh, I would keep my mustache. Ex: I can't grow a beard. I don't grow enough facial hair.
