Why We Recommend Oiling Your Beard?
Homemade beard oil can provide all of the same benefits as a store-bought one, but you’ll also have the opportunity to add in any ingredient that you feel might be beneficial to your skin and hair. For example, if you have sensitive skin and suffer from dry patches or acne breakouts, you could use ingredients that help soothe the skin or reduce redness and irritation. You could also use ingredients that help strengthen hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.
Another great thing about using homemade beard oil is that it’s typically made with natural ingredients, which means it’s less likely to cause allergic reactions or irritate the skin. It’s also safe for pets.
Many store bought beard oils contain artificial fragrances. The problem here is that, for fragrances, you do not have to state exactly what is included. Certain artificial fragrances can include ingredients like benzene derivatives, aldehydes, phthalates and other chemicals that have been linked to causing cancer, birth defects, nervous system disorders, allergies and more.
There are many benefits of using homemade beard oil instead of a store-bought one! If you’re looking for a little more than just your average store-bought product, then make sure to take advantage of this option!
Your Unique Beard Oil Recipe
The base of your beard oil should always be a light oil such as coconut or jojoba oil. If you plan on using something heavier such as olive oil, make sure you balance the proportions with other ingredients such as argan, almond, tea tree, and many essential oils. When applied to the beard, it moisturizes the skin and can reduce beardruff. Depending on how you would like the oil to smell, you could add a few drops of essential oil like lavender or orange, if you’re looking for something a bit more manly cedarwood is a great option that also has many benefits for your skin, and hair. Remember to choose a fragrance that’s not too strong because your beard is very close to your nose.
