The Incredible Benefits of Beard Oil
Beard oil is by far the most important beard care product that every bearded man worth the name should use. Indeed, using beard oil allows you to have beautiful and shiny facial hair. The best beard oils have just two ingredients: vegetable oils or organic oils such as mango, calendula oil and sweet almond oil. It also contains essential oils that add fragrance to the treatment.
Composition of beard oil
As we just saw, it mainly consists of organic oils (95-98%) and essential oils (2-5%).
Organic oils:
Organic oils are made from natural ingredients. There are many varieties. Organic/vegetable oils are also called carrier oils. These oils have very moisturizing properties for the skin and hair. They are much more moisturizing to the skin than creams containing chemical elements.
They are usually obtained by extracting the oils found in seeds or nuts.
Essential oils
Essential oils are extracted from all types of natural ingredients: plants, flowers, fruits, wood, etc. They should not be used alone as they may be harmful. This is why they need to be diluted with organic oil. This will serve as a support that will prevent the essential oils from evaporating.
Essential oils are used in many fields: in medicine and therapy, in cleaning products, in perfumery as a base...
When combined with organic oils, essential oils also have many benefits. Manufacturers will include several essential oils in their composition to create a unique aroma!
Essential oils offer endless possibilities for flavoring.
Thus, we can classify fragrances into families, like perfumes:
Citrus fruits: orange, lemon...
Wood: sandalwood, cedar...
Floral: lavender, rose...
The price of essential oils can vary depending on the quality or rarity of the ingredient from which they are extracted. Therefore, the price of beard oil can vary depending on the quality of the ingredients. The better quality they are, the more expensive beard care will cost.
Benefits of Beard Oil on Beard and Skin:
Regular use of beard oil will bring many benefits to your beard and skin:
Benefits for beard:
Regular use will promote healthy growth of your beard. Hair will become thicker and less brittle. In addition, beard oil moisturizes and softens facial hair. Your hair will become more shiny. This makes it easier to shape/style your beard. Beard oil helps relieve itching. Finally, it allows you to perfume your beard.
Skin Benefits:
Beard oil moisturizes the skin. This reduces itching and irritation. Also fights dandruff and flaking. The oil prevents clogging of skin pores and hair follicles.
Finally, it helps prevent certain skin conditions such as acne and psoriasis.
Relieve beard itching:
Its first action will be to combat the itching of the beard that occurs in the first weeks of growth. They can be more or less intense depending on the person. I have already told you about sebum - a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands. The body produces a certain amount per day. After some time, when the hair reaches a certain length, the amount of sebum produced daily will no longer be enough to moisturize the hair and skin. This will especially cause the skin to dry out. Then the use of beard oil becomes necessary. It deeply nourishes the skin and hair. Which will ultimately relieve the itchy beard.
Eliminating beard dandruff:
Beard dandruff occurs due to lack of moisture in the skin. If the skin underneath your hair is unhealthy, it will inevitably affect the health of your facial hair. Your beard will then become less hydrated, causing irritation and itching. As a result, you will get scratched! Dead skin will fall onto your T-shirt like snowflakes. Using beard oil will eliminate beard dandruff.
Combating dry skin:
Dry skin occurs due to lack of hydration. Your growing hair becomes more and more greedy for sebum. This will deprive the skin of the nutrients it needs. Beard oil will satisfy your skin's hydration needs.
Fighting an unkempt beard
If your hair lacks moisture, it will show in its appearance. They will feel dull, dry and rough to the touch. Beard oil will soften your hair and make it easier to comb. Then your beard will become more aesthetically pleasing and pleasant to the touch. No more shaggy or poorly trimmed bush effect...
In short, beard oil allows you to:
Nourish and moisturize your hair.
Soften your hair
Promote healthy beard growth
Make hair stronger and more resilient
To perfume your fur
Combat irritation and itching
Combat dry skin and beard dandruff
