How to use and apply beard oil

If you’ve ever grown a beard, or are in the process of growing one, then you’d be no stranger to beard oil. Whether you currently use it or not, there’s a reason it has become a necessity in many a bearded man’s grooming arsenal.

Using and applying beard oil is a simple and enjoyable process, and allows you a moment to take some time for self-care. Each beard oil is different in terms of ingredients and method of dispensing (dripolator cap or squeeze cap), so check the instructions on the back before using.

1. Shake the bottle before use. Depending on the environment and seasons, your oil may need a little warm up.

2. Dispense three to four drops into the palms of your hand and gently rub your hands together. The rule of thumb is start with less, and then add more if necessary. You don’t want to unnecessarily waste product or leave your beard looking and feeling greasy. Below is an image providing a rough guide on how much beard oil you should use.

3. In a downwards motion, run your hands and fingers over the beard ensuring you start from the cheek area at the top of your sideburns and then working your way downwards to cover the rest of the beard. Ensure you pay attention to your moustache area.

4. If you’re using your hands, gently run the tips of your fingers in an upwards motion from the chin, working your way outwards towards the cheek. Massage the oil into the skin, take your time, appreciate your handsome mug in the mirror while you do it.

5. If using a comb, continue to comb in a downwards motion and use your hand as a way to pat down flyaway hairs gently to provide a natural beard style. A conditioning beard balm can also aid you in maintaining a well-shaped and tidy beard.

6. Apply more oil if you feel it’s called for.
