Attempting to rock a beard?

For any guy starting his journey to the bearded side using a quality beard oil is an absolute must.

Considering the circumstances right now, we noticed a lot of bearded newbies out there growing unruly beards. To be honest, you guys need a good dose of beard oil!

Why you might ask—because beard oil, for those of you who didn't know, is key to hydrating and maintaining healthy looking facial hair.

The benefits of beard oil are plenty, thanks to the mixture of carrier oils and vitamins that keep your beard and skin feeling soft to the touch and manly.

Below, we listed the 5 benefits of beard oil you should know about:

1. Beard oil keeps facial hair and skin hydrated

The longer your facial hair gets the more help your beard and skin will need to keep it hydrated.

Our skin naturally produces oils to help hair follicles stay hydrated, but unfortunately its not enough especially when your facial hair gets longer. And this is where beard oil comes to play. Without it your chances of experiencing a number of beard and skin problems increase. Dryness of hair and skin, breakage of hair, split ends and beard itch are major irritations.

2. Beard oil makes your beard hair softer

The quality mixture of natural carrier oils in a beard oil will prevent dry and brittle facial hair and leave your beard feeling softer and feeling healthier. Adding a few drops to your daily routine will not only hydrate but condition your beard, drastically improving its health and appearance.

3. Beard oil provides relief from beard itch

Without the proper beard care, especially in the early stages of growth, beard itch could be a problem for many men. Some end up shaving to save themselves from it, but don't realize they're not using the proper products to help alleviate the problem. It might seem obvious, but the better hydrated and nourished your skin is, the less itch you'll experience.

During the colder months your skin and beard are both prone to increased dryness, so a little extra beard oil will help keep any beard or skin irritation to a minimal.

4. Beard oil helps prevent beardruff

Yes beardruff is real and far from a pretty sight. To give you an idea its like dandruff, but in your facial hair. We ourselves haven't experienced it and you shouldn't need to either.

The problem lies with the level of dryness your skin experiences while growing your beard. The dryer it becomes the more itch you will experience and the flakier your skin will be. This could also indicate that you are not maximizing your beard growth as dry skin actually slows it down. The use of beard oil will ensure your skin stays hydrated providing the optimal conditions for steady beard growth. 

5. Beard oil keeps your beard smelling fresh and clean

Beards are meant to be groomed, well-maintained and presentable. And there is nothing better than a beard oil to do just that and keep you looking sharp.

Most beard oils have a small mix of essential oils that make for a pleasant scent. For instance, ours has a subtle fresh scent that's light and not overpowering.

In our case one of our key essential oils is sweet orange and this oil possesses antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties which is great for your skin and beard.

Convinced about the importance of beard oil?
