Maintaining a strong and healthy beard is vital. A high quality beard oil can make all the difference to your beard upkeep. It’s important to have essential tools to keep your beard sassy and classy.
Here is our ultimate guide to beard oil:
What is Beard Oil?
A beard oil serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. Being a healthy product full of natural conditioning ingredients like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and argon oil. There are hundreds of brands who manufacture their own beard oil, from Robin Hood Beard Co to Mariner Jack. Trialing beard oils to discover which one works for you is essential.
Why use Beard Oil?
Beard oil moisturises facial hair and the skin beneath
Beard oil contains natural products which will help soften the skin and prevent itching and dry skin. The hydrating element of the oil will moisturise and give a glowing shine to your beard. A shiny, not flaky beard is a well groomed and impressively tamed beard.
Beard oil keeps facial hair fresh and beard-druff free
The longer your beard gets, the more taming it needs: hairs flyaway and flakes start to appear. The moisturizing elements of the oil will keep your skin soft. We recommend a smoky wood smelling oil which can act as a natural fragrance and keep your beard smelling fresh.
When should you apply?
The best time to apply beard oil is straight after you have showered and conditioned your beard. Opening up the pores will allow your hair follicles to absorb the oils fully. Hence it also offers a barrier of protection for the day ahead.
