So How Exactly Should You Use Your Favorite Beard Oil?
- Wash your face in lukewarm water using a facecloth and your favorite exfoliator to gently scrub away dead skin.
- Dry your face lightly. Don’t rub your face roughly with the towel. That just irritates your skin and your beard.
- Once dry, add between 3 and 5 drops of your beard oil onto your hand and rub it around for a few seconds to warm it up.
- Use your fingers to lightly rub the oil into your beard in its entirety. Be sure to get the sides just as much as the chin area.
- Wash your hands.
- Go out and be awesome with your well oiled beard.
What’s the Difference Between the Different Beard Oils?
- Tea Tree based oils drastically help with itchy beards. It softens and helps to settle that annoying itch/burn that can sometimes sneak up on you when you first start growing it.
- Fruit oils, especially those with lime, have a fresh scent that’s not overpowering and can help with skin issues under the beard. Just don’t go overboard while applying it or you’ll start to smell like a fruit salad.
- Coconut oils are probably the best for hydrating your face especially when it’s as dry as the desert.
- Cedarwood can really help prevent acne and clean it up when you get that ‘below beard breakout.’
- Peppermint and mint in general helps to fresh and invigorate your beard and skin.
