Beard in IB, do’s and don’ts

Are IB analysts normally allowed to have a short trimmed beard (up to 3mm) or should be less/non existent. I am asking because I have a beard in order to avoid my face to get a really bad rash after shaving. Normally I trimmed mine to 2mm.

I wouldn't care and probably neither policies prohibit it, but understand that some seniors may be more conservative and may not respect you for that
