Do you dream of a full, shiny beard that not only impresses but also feels wonderfully soft? Then there is one product that absolutely must not be missing from your bathroom cabinet: beard oil. It is the secret formula for a healthy beard and happy skin. In this blog we explain why you can’t live without it and how to use it.
What is beard oil anyway?
Simply put, beard oil is a blend of natural oils (such as argan oil, jojoba and grapeseed oil) combined with essential oils for a masculine scent. It is specially formulated to provide optimal care for both your beard hair and the skin underneath. Think of it as a conditioner and moisturizer in one.
4 Reasons why your beard needs oil
- Say goodbye to beard itch Nothing is more irritating than that constant itch under your beard. This often occurs because the skin underneath dries out. Beard oil deeply moisturizes the skin, making flakes (beard dandruff) and itching a thing of the past.
- From steely brush to silky smooth Beard hairs can be quite stiff and prickly, something not very nice for yourself, and certainly not for your partner. Beard oil softens the hairs, instantly making your beard feel healthier and giving it a nice, natural shine.
- Tame the wilderness A beard can sometimes grow in all directions. By using oil, the hairs become more manageable. This makes it easier to style your beard and makes it look instantly more groomed.
- You simply smell fantastic Let’s face it: a beard that smells great is a huge bonus. Whether you like a cool wood scent, fresh citrus or a subtle herbal blend; there’s always an oil to suit your style.
In 4 steps to a perfect beard: Here’s how to use it
Applying beard oil takes you less than a minute, but the results are great.
- Start with a clean base: Wash your beard with a special beard shampoo and pat it towel dry. The oil absorbs best when the hair is still very slightly damp.
- Dosage: apply a small amount of oil into your palm (for a short beard 2-3 drops, for a long beard a little more). Less is more: you want a healthy shine, not a greasy beard!
- Massage it in: Rub your hands warm and massage the oil from your skin to the tips of your beard hairs. Don’t forget your mustache!
- Comb through: Use a beard comb or brush to distribute the oil evenly and instantly sculpt your beard into the desired shape.
Our Pro tips for best results:
- Be consistent: Use a few drops every morning after showering for lasting results.
- Experiment: Every beard type is different. Try different brands and scents to discover what works for you.
- The golden combo: Do you have a very stubborn beard? Then use beard oil for care and combine it with a beard balm for extra strength and styling.
Conclusion: Want a beard that not only looks good, but is also healthy and smells good? Then beard oil your best friend. Treat yourself to that upgrade!
