How to use beard oil?

When you've decided to grow a beard, you can't escape taking proper care of it. In fact, pampering is actually a better verb. The most important nourishment for your beard hairs is good beard oil, a very weighty factor in maintaining your beard. After all, if you don't use beard oil, you're calling down a lot of doom on your beard.

Especially if your beard is longer, it and the skin need to be moisturized. The right elixir for this? That's right, beard oil. By massaging your clean beard with a good beard oil every morning, you won't risk drying out your skin and beard hairs. And even better: no itchy beard will develop.

So just for a comfortable and fresh feeling, a good beard oil is a must use. In addition, beard oil makes your beard feel soft, shiny and look healthy. We've listed our top 10 best beard oils for you that, in a good way, will get you hooked.

So use it, because a dry beard covered in white unappetizing flakes that you spend all your time rubbing is exactly what you don't want. And your surroundings don't want all those white flakes on the carpet or freshly oiled parquet either. That's why we briefly take you through how best to use a beard oil.

At what point do you apply beard oil?

Beard oil works best when applied to a clean beard, preferably washed with the best beard shampoo. This will remove dirt, excess sebum and grease from the beard and skin. After all, using a chemical household shampoo will only dry out your beard and skin. A beard is a fragile thing and needs a lot of TLC. When you have washed your beard, gently pat it dry. Do not rub ferociously and ravage the beard hairs with such a hard towel. This is because here you damage the beard down to its fibers, so caution is advised.

Immediately after patting dry is the best time to gently massage the beard oil into the beard. This is because the beard is clean, the pores are open and this allows the beard oil to penetrate perfectly into the fibers of the hair and skin.

Approximately how much beard oil do you apply into the beard?

Practice makes perfect. It depends on how much volume your beard has: is your beard size "ZZ TOP" or do you have a cultivated, relatively short beard? If you put in a handful of oil with the latter, you now know immediately that you are amply wrong: you will be treated to a fat mouth. We offer with the table below some clarification how many pipette drops it is best to massage in for which type of beard.

Please note, these are guidelines and as you get started with a good beard oil yourself you will notice exactly how much to use. In the beginning better to put in a little less instead of drowning the beard in the beard oil. The point is that with the right amount, you'll notice that the beard feels soft and smooth and, of course, looks shiny and healthy. After all, that is the job of beard oil. By the way, most beard oils come with an easy pipette so you can easily dose the volume drop by drop.

How often should I use beard oil?

Basically, you use beard oil every day. It also depends a bit on the season and how you live your life. If you lie in the sea or in a chlorinated pool every day in the summer and you have a beard, it is advisable to give it a beard oil boost 2-3 times a day.

When it's freezing, the air is dry and you notice this immediately in your beard hairs. They often need extra care and therefore plenty of good beard oil. In general, the rule is to apply beard oil once a day. This keeps the beard hairs and skin nourished so that you always have a soft, shiny beard. And using a good beard oil moisturizes not only the beard hairs but also the skin. So: no itchy beard!

What is the best way to massage beard oil into the beard?

Here again, once you've done it a few times, it's easy to do. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, we'll explain step-by-step how best to apply beard oil.

1. Spread the right amount of oil into your hands and fingers by rubbing them back and forth.
2. Once the oil is well spread over your hands, massage it into the skin and just right at the roots of the beard hairs. It is important that this is where the beard oil is well massaged in, as this is also when the beard oil has the most nourishing effect.
3. Then massage the beard oil further into the beard hairs themselves. You can stroke from bottom to top so that the oil touches all the beard hairs. Also, use your fingers spread out and run them through your beard from bottom to top several times. Knead gently. Using your fingertips, gently apply a layer of oil to the mustache as well.
4. Finally, it is important to use a beard comb so that you can use it to distribute the beard oil even better through the beard hairs. By the way, would you like to know more about using a beard comb? Then we recommend reading the detailed article Beard comb vs. Beard brush.
