What does Beard Oil actually do?
Beard hair tends to be rougher in texture than the hair on your head. Beard oil softens and adds shine to beard hair. It also tames scraggly hairs so that your entire beard looks neater and more styled.
Beard oil keeps the skin underneath your beard supple and healthy. It also reduces the occurrence of dandruff, itch & ingrown hairs.
Beard oil can make a scraggly beard look fuller and lusher. For this reason, some people use beard oil for hair growth.
Beard oil smells good, really good, and can be used instead of cologne, lasting just as long, if not longer.
A few people have asked, does beard oil encourage hair growth? Well it hasn’t been scientifically proven that beard oil will help with beard growth. However, there’s anecdotal evidence that some of the essential oils used in beard oil may help support or promote beard hair growth.
These include ylang ylang, bay leaf, and other essential oils high in antioxidants.
Beard oil is most effective when used as a moisturizer for the skin underneath your beard. You should start seeing an improvement in the condition and appearance of your skin and beard as soon as you start using beard oil.
Remember that all types of skin, including oily skin, need to be nourished and moisturized. If you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, try using a beard oil that contains essential oils with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These include tea tree oil & cinnamon.
