Nowadays, a beard is the most attractive weapon for men. It is really crucial to maintain it properly to avoid a bad beard or you can say bad looks.
But a beard is something which needs to be taken care of religiously, otherwise it will start to look unpleasant.
Beard care involves many products and steps. The initial one is beard oiling.
Many people don’t understand the difference between applying any usual oil on a beard and applying proper beard oil. Normal or regular oils don’t work the same as beard oils. Beard oils are specially made for maintaining and keeping your beard in a good condition.
In this article you will get to know everything about beard oils.
What is beard oil?
Before knowing the importance and benefits of beard oil, one needs to understand the meaning and formation of beard oil.
Beard oil gives moisture to your beard and skin underneath your beard. It also softens the beard. It makes it look fuller, thicker and unkempt. It is also believed that beard oils promote beard growth, which scientifically isn’t proven right yet.
Benefits of beard
Maintains your beard
Naturally the beard hair tends to be thicker and rougher in texture as compared to hair on your head. Therefore, the beard needs to be moisturised and oiled regularly. Beard oils control the scraggly and flaky hairs which results in shinier and sleek beard.
Gives moisture to the skin underneath
Moisturiser is essential for skin. It needs to be hydrated. Beard oils help to supply adequate amounts of moisture to the skin. Applying beard oils also reduces the chance of beard dandruff and itchiness on face
Makes beard look thicker
Beard oils make your patchy, scraggly and unequal beard look fuller and lusher. Therefore, people use beard oils.
Makes your beard smell better
Ready-made beard oils have scent in them. And they can be used in place of cologne. They make you feel fresh and spread fragrance around you. You can also make scented beard oils at home by adding fragrance of your choice to oil.
How to apply beard oil?
Before applying any product on your skin you should know the proper way of using that product else it can lead to negative impacts. In case of beard oil, the best time is to apply beard oil after showering and shampooing your beard. You should use beard oil when your pores are open.
