Beard Oils

 What Are The Benefits of Using Beard Oil?

You might be wondering why bearded men with experience recommend that you apply beard oil. Well, beard oil helps with a lot of things.

• Helps Soften The Beard Facial hair has a completely different structure than your scalp hair. Your beard hair follicles tend to be thicker and more porous. This means it loses moisture more quickly, which can cause it to dry out and feel rough to the touch. Beard oil is chock-full of precious oils with hydrating and conditioning properties. These ingredients will help attract moisture and lock it inside the hair fibres, making your beard feel softer and look 100 times better.

• Reduces Beard Dandruff Beardruff or beard dandruff can have a lot of causes. The most frequent one is seborrheic dermatitis, a skin condition caused by the body’s reaction to a pesky yeast called Malassezia, but also linked to skin lipid composition and individual susceptibility. Keeping your beard and the skin underneath it moisturized are key steps in reducing beardruff’s unpleasant consequences. Beard oil works great for that because it prevents dry facial hair and protects the skin’s natural oils.

• Keeps Your Skin And Facial Hairs Moisturized Applying beard oil is the facial hair equivalent to drinking 8 glasses of water a day. Beard oil contains ingredients that attract water molecules to your skin and facial hair, then seals them in to prevent moisture loss throughout the day. This is super important because dry skin can lead to flaking, irritation and itchiness. Also, dry hair fibres can become unruly and tangly which can cause problems like split ends and beard curling. In addition, keeping your skin hydrated helps with beard growth and prevents facial hair loss.

• Makes Your Beard Look Fuller Good beard oil will also have conditioning properties. This means that the surface of your hair will be smoother while the inside will be hydrated. What you end up with is an improved texture and manageability of your whiskers that leaves your beard looking fuller and well-groomed.

• Makes Your Beard Smell Awesome Smelling great and having others notice it can be a huge confidence booster. And since our sense of smell is strongly linked to our memories, wearing the right fragrance can even brighten your day or help you feel more centred.

• Beard Oil Stops And Prevents Itching If you’ve ever tried growing a beard, you know that it itches, especially during the first stages of beard growth. Your beard itches because your skin doesn’t produce enough sebum to moisturize your face, so the outermost layer of skin cells dries up, dies, and exfoliates. This microscopic layer of dead skin cells gets trapped in your beard, leading to annoying outbreaks of itchiness. Beard oil hydrates your face, keeping your skin cells in good health. In addition, beard oil also helps remove the dirt, debris, dead skin cells, and other pollutants that may be trapped underneath your facial hair.

When You Should Use Beard Oil? 

You should include beard oil in your daily grooming routine. We recommend you apply beard oil at least once per day, as soon as you start growing a beard. If you live in a dry climate or your daily activity involves being exposed to pollution, dirt, winds, or high doses of UV light, we recommend that you apply beard oil twice a day, in the morning after you wash your face and before bed to prevent itchiness.

How Often Should I Use It?

There is no magical formula for beard care. In fact, every step should be tailored to your own needs, because you’re the only one who knows what’s best for your skin and facial hair. As a general guideline, you can use beard oil daily after your morning shower or whenever you start your day. However, beard oil can also be incorporated into your nighttime beard care routine.

How Long Does It Take for Beard Oil to Take Effect?

There’s no definitive answer to this question because the time it takes for beard oil to work depends on how hydrated or dehydrated your skin is. If your skin is hydrated, you will notice your beard hair softening in as little as a couple of days. If your skin is severely dehydrated, you may notice the softening effects only after two weeks or more. However, beard oil doesn’t produce side effects unless you’re allergic to one of its ingredients, so you can apply it for a long time without any worries.
