How to use Beard Oil?

When you have decided to grow a Beard, you cannot avoid taking care of it in the right way. 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 the maintenance of your Beard. If you don't use Beard Oil, you are inviting 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 prevent the skin and beard hairs from drying out. Even better: it prevents an itchy beard.

Just for a comfortable and Fresh feeling, a good Beard Oil is a must to use. Additionally, 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 to become addicted to, in a good way.

So definitely use it, because a dry Beard adorned with unsightly white flakes that you constantly scratch out of 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. That's why we briefly explain how best to use Beard Oil.

When should you apply Beard Oil?

Beard Oil works best when applied 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 vigorously and torment the beard hairs with a rough towel. This actually damages 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 should 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're way off: you'll be rewarded with a greasy look. We provide some clarification with the table below on how many pipette drops you can best massage into which type of Beard.

 

Beard Length

Amount of Oil

Up to 1 cm

2-3 drops

1 to 3 cm

3-4 drops

3 to 10 cm

5-6 drops

10 cm +

6 and more drops

 

Note, these are guidelines and as you start working with a good Beard Oil, you will naturally find out how much you exactly need to use. Initially, it is better to use a little less rather than drowning the Beard in the Beard Oil. The point is that with the right amount, you will notice that the Beard feels soft and smooth, and naturally looks shiny and healthy. That is precisely the task of Beard Oil. Besides, most Beard Oils come with an easy pipette, allowing you to easily dose the volume drop by drop.

How often should you use Beard Oil?

In principle, you use Beard Oil every day. It also depends a bit on the Season and how you live your life. If you're 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 will immediately notice this on your beard hairs. They often need extra care and therefore sufficient good Beard Oil. In the General, applying Beard Oil once a day is the rule. This way, you keep both the beard hairs and the skin nourished, ensuring 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!

How can you best massage Beard Oil into the Beard?

Again, once you've done it a few times, it's easy. For safety, we will still explain step by step how you can best apply Beard Oil.

  1. Spread the right amount of oil in your Hands and fingers by rubbing them back and forth.
  2. Once the oil is well spread over the Hands, massage it into the skin and especially well at the roots of the beard hairs. It is important that the Beard Oil is well massaged in there, as it has the most nourishing effect.
  3. Then further massage the Beard Oil 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, spreading them and running them multiple times from bottom to top through your Beard. Knead gently. With your fingertips, gently apply a layer of oil to the Moustache.
  4. Finally, it is important to use a Beard Comb so that you can distribute the Beard Oil even better through the beard hairs. By the way, if you want to know more about using a Beard Comb, we recommend you read the detailed article Beard Comb vs Beard Brush.
  5. With Beard Oil, you cannot really style your Beard. It is purely nourishment to keep the Beard and skin very healthy and hydrated.
