How do you use beard oil?

Once you have decided to grow a beard, you cannot avoid taking care of it properly. In fact, pampering is actually a better verb. The most important nourishment for your beard hairs is good beard oil, a very significant factor in maintaining your beard. If you do not use beard oil, you invite a lot of trouble for your beard.

Especially if your beard is a bit longer, it must be hydrated along with the skin. The right elixir for this? Exactly, beard oil. By massaging a good beard oil into your clean beard every morning, you avoid the risk of drying out the skin and beard hairs. And even better: no itchy beard will develop.

Just for a comfortable and fresh feeling, a good beard oil is a must to use. Additionally, the beard oil ensures that your beard feels soft, shines, and looks healthy. We have listed our top 10 with the best beard oil for you, which you will become addicted to in a good way.

So definitely use it, because a bone-dry beard adorned with white unsightly flakes that you keep scratching due to irritation is exactly what you don't want. And your surroundings also have no interest in all those white flakes on the carpet or freshly oiled parquet. Therefore, we will briefly guide you on how to best use a beard oil.

When do you apply beard oil?

Beard Oil works best when you apply it to a clean beard, preferably washed with the best beard shampoo. This removes dirt, excess sebum, and oil from the beard and the skin. If you use a chemical household shampoo, your beard and skin will only dry out. A beard is a fragile thing and needs a lot of TLC. Once you have washed your beard, gently pat it dry. Do not rub it harshly and torment the beard hairs with a rough towel. This will damage the beard down to the fibers, so caution is advised.

Directly after patting dry is the best time to gently massage the beard oil into the beard. The beard is clean, the pores are open, and this allows the beard oil to penetrate perfectly into the fibers of the hairs and the skin.

How much beard oil do you apply to the beard?

Practice beard art. It depends on how much volume your beard has: is your beard the size of 'ZZ TOP' or do you have a cultivated, relatively short beard? If you apply a handful of oil to the latter, you immediately know you are way off: you will be treated to a greasy look. We offer some clarification with the table below on how many pipette drops you should best massage into each type of beard.

Note, these are guidelines and as you start working with a good beard oil, you will naturally notice how much you need to use exactly. Initially, it's better to use a little less rather than drowning the beard in the beard oil. The goal is to notice that the beard feels soft and smooth with the right amount, and naturally looks shiny and healthy. That is the task of beard oil. Incidentally, most beard oils are supplied with an easy pipette so you can easily dose the volume drop by drop.

How often do you use beard oil?

In principle, you use beard oil every day. It also depends a bit on the season and your lifestyle. If you are in the sea or a chlorine pool every day in the summer and you have a beard, then it is useful to give it a beard oil boost 2 to 3 times a day.

If it freezes, the air is dry, and you immediately notice this on your beard hairs. They often need extra care and therefore sufficient good beard oil. In general, applying beard oil once a day is the rule. This keeps the beard hairs and the skin nourished so you always have a soft, shiny beard. And by using a good beard oil, you not only hydrate the beard hairs but also the skin. So: no itchy beard!
