How to Make DIY Beard Oil + 2 Simple Beard Oil Recipes
Facial hair needs care and attention in order to keep it looking, feeling, and smelling great. Simple DIY beard oil is an easy and effective way to groom your beard every day.
Not only will it give you attractive facial hair and promote healthy growth, but it also improves your skin.

How does beard oil work?
Beard oil provides much needed moisture to the skin beneath the facial hair. When you apply it after washing your face or taking a hot shower, it can penetrate your pores and get into those tiny hair follicles.
Since it contains a base of oils including coconut, sweet almond, and hemp seed, your skin will be well-nourished.
Almond oil is rich in vitamin E and is easily absorbed by the skin. This keeps your face soft and your beard smelling fresh.
Hemp seed oil also contains vitamin E and essential fatty acids. Rather than leaving your beard looking and feeling greasy, it simply gives it a softer, smoother texture.
Fractioned coconut oil has conditioning properties, leaving your beard a lush look while moisturizing the skin underneath.
Why should I use beard oil?

There are several great reasons to make beard oil a part of your daily care grooming routine. It can soften up a scraggly beard, giving you a more polished look.
This is important because facial hair should be shiny and well groomed, not dry and dull.

How do I apply beard oil?
If you haven’t used natural beard oil before, you’re probably curious how to go about applying it.
How much you’ll use depends on the thickness and length of your beard.
Don’t be intimidated, but do take the time to pour out just the right amount of oil, and not more than you need.
Once you’ve got a few drops in the palm of your hand, you can rub your hands together before rubbing your beard.
Aim for an even application all over the beard, as well as the mustache area if you’re growing one.
The best time to apply beard oil is right after a warm shower when your skin is still damp and your pores are still open.
This helps the oils absorb into the skin.

You could easily swap hemp seed oil for rosehip seed oil, safflower oil, baobab oil or argan oil. :) Hope that helps!
