What is Beard Oil?
Beard oil is designed to hydrate and nourish both your beard and the skin beneath it. Typically made with a mix of natural and essential oils, beard oils are the solution for preventing dryness and skin irritation, while also adding a patchouli and leather scent. It’s an easy-to-use solution that makes a huge difference in the overall health and appearance of your beard.
Why You Should Use Beard Oil
- Hydration and Nourishment: Beard oil moisturises both the beard and the skin underneath, preventing dryness and flakiness while adding shine and softness to your beard. Regular application will leave your beard feeling soft and looking healthy.
- Promotes Healthy Growth: The natural oils in beard oils nourish the hair follicles, encouraging stronger, healthier growth. They also help reduce the risk of split ends and prevent the beard from becoming coarse or brittle.
- Reduces Itching and Irritation: The downside of growing a beard is that it can cause itchiness, especially in the early stages. Beard oil is an awesome way to tackle this issue, soothing the skin beneath the beard and reducing the irritation that comes with new beard growth.
- Improves Beard Manageability: If you struggle with an untameable beard, applying beard oil can make a huge difference. The oil softens the hair and allows for easier styling and combing.
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Use Beard Oils
Step 1 – Wash and Dry Your Beard
Before applying beard oil, it's important to clean your beard properly. Wash it with shampoo to remove dirt, oils, and any styling products that may have built up throughout the day. Cleansing your beard helps the oil absorb more effectively. Once clean, towel-dry your beard, leaving it lightly damp.
Step 2 – Pour the Right Amount of Beard Oil
The amount of beard oil you use depends on the length and thickness of your beard. For shorter beards, 3-4 drops should be enough. If you have a longer or thicker beard, you may need more — around 6-8 drops. Always start with a small amount, as you can add more if needed. Prep the oil by rubbing it between your palms before applying.
Step 3 – Apply Oil Evenly Through Your Beard
Start by applying the oil to the roots of your beard, then work your way down to the tips. Use your fingers to rub the oil into the hair evenly. For longer or thicker beards, a comb can help to cover all the hair.
Step 4 – Massage Into the Skin Beneath the Beard
This is a crucial step to avoid dryness and irritation, which can lead to flakiness and beard dandruff (no one wants that). Massaging the oil into your skin helps moisturise the beard right down to the hair follicles, which supports healthy beard growth.
Step 5 – Comb and Style Your Beard
Combing your beard ensures the oil is evenly applied, helps detangle any knots, and creates a more slick style. For added control and styling, you can use beard balm with the oil to set your beard in place.
When is the Best Time to Apply Beard Oil?
- Morning Routine: The best time to apply beard oil is after your morning shower. After cleaning your beard, your pores will be open and ready to absorb the oil, locking in moisture and hydration. Applying it in the morning keeps your beard stays soft and hydrated throughout the day.
- Before Bed: Applying beard oil before bed is a great way to give your beard extra hydration while you sleep. The oils will work overnight to protect and soften your beard and skin, preventing it from becoming dry or irritated.
How Often Should You Use Beard Oil?
So exactly how often to use beard oil? For most men, applying beard oil once a day is sufficient. For shorter beards, you might find that applying it every other day works well. However, if you have a longer or thicker beard, applying it twice a day will help keep it moisturised and manageable. It’s important to adjust your beard oil routine to your personal style. If you live in a dry climate or your beard tends to get very dry, you may want to use beard oil more frequently.
