Ingredients You Will Need
To make your own beard oil, you will need the following ingredients:
- Jojoba Oil – This is similar to the natural oils our skin produces naturally. Plus it is easily soaked into the skin to start working. You will find that this oil can help to soften the hair and can help naturally gown hair follicles.
- Avocado Oil – Avocado oil is great for all skin types. It is loaded with vitamins A, E, C and more. This is a great carrier oil as it contains essential fatty acids that will truly enhance this natural beard oil. This is going to help create strong air that reduces breakage, aids in hair growth and can soothe itchy or dry skin.
- Cedarwood Essential Oil – A few drops of essential oils to the oil base oil is going to offer a fragrant aroma but also help stimulate hair growth, soothe itchy skin, reduce skin irritation and more. Now this oil smells very woody and manly. You are welcome to use different essential oils if you find you do not like the fragrance.
- Vitamin E Oil – This is optional but a few drops of oil is going to help moisturize the skin, soften the hair and infuse your skin with vitamins and nutrients.
How to Store Beard Oil
I highly recommend that you will place your beard oil in glass bottles. Essential oils can break down plastic over time so glass is a good idea to ensure it stores the best. An amber bottle can also help preserve the ingredients in the oil. Keep it away from direct sunlight. I also love a glass dropper bottle as a few drops of this oil will go a long way.
How to Use
Add a few drops of oil into your hands and massage between hands. Then rub it onto your beard. With a beard comb then brush through the beard working the oil into the hair. Now you can also add oil to your beard brush or comb directly and then brush it through if you prefer. I find the massaging in hands is going to help ensure your entire beard is covered.
