all-natural ingredients aren’t just a side benefit: they’re the main reason beard oil is such a good idea. Oils like jojoba, grapeseed, almond, and castor along with the essential oils that give the product its scent, are the only ingredients required. Jojoba oil specifically is the magic ingredient; used by Native Americans for many years, it’s nontoxic, hypoallergenic, and enhances the beard’s n
atural oils. When you work beard oil through your beard and mustache, the hydration goes straight to the follicle, much like a conditioner does when you wash your hair. That hydration keeps your facial hair healthy as it grows, but it also hydrates your skin, which doesn’t get a lot of attention under a beard. This helps to prevent beard flakes, which is what we call dandruff for your beard, and which we’d all like to avoid at all costs. Beyond the work it does below the surface, beard oil is a great grooming tool itself. The hydrating ingredients help to keep coarse hair neat and smooth, making your beard touchable, soft, and tangle-free. To use beard oil, pour a dime-sized amount into one palm, then distribute over the fingers of both hands. Then apply the oil directly the skin under your beard, to start the hydrating process at the source, and work the remaining oil through the rest of your beard and mustache. How often you use beard oil might depend on the dryness of the climate and water hardness, but it could be from daily to every three days.
