DIY Beard Oil with Essential Oils

DIY Beard Oil with Essential Oils

Beards can be sexy and nice to look at. But they can also be scratchy, poky, and not entirely fun for kissing.

Beards also should be shiny and groomed, not shaggy like something the cat dragged in!

Beard hair wicks moisture away from the skin — and then the external environment (especially if you live in a cold or dry climate or in a hard water area) dries out the beard, leaving you with dry flaky skin and a hard, brittle beard. This can even result in beard dandruff!

What is Beard Oil?

DIY beard oil with essential oils can help with all of that. You want to nurture your beard and help it grow to be the best-looking beard it can be.

Beard oil is actually a moisturizer that goes straight to the hair follicle and prevents hair from growing brittle.* It also smells wonderful and can act as a cologne or after shave.

DIY beard oil with essential oils is incredibly easy to make. Just choose and combine your favorite carrier oil with essential oils in a glass bottle.

We’ve made a list of our top favorite recipes for DIY beard oils. Though we have a variety of carrier oils you can choose from, it’s worth noting that jojoba oil is one of the most magical oils for beards.
