Why do men need to use a beard oil?  

Well, when most men start to grow a beard, within a matter of days, even the best efforts to grow a beard can result in a dry, itchy, and disheveled mess. 

While it may seem like it’s the hair, the root cause of these issues is actually the underlying skin and its sebaceous glands.

Sebaceous glands are microscopic glands located at the root of every hair follicle. Their primary function is to secrete an oily and waxy substance called sebum that keeps skin and hair moisturized.

While the hair follicle progressively becomes longer, the sebaceous glands do not grow nor do they have a means to increase production of sebum. 

The longer the beard becomes, the greater the discomfort and risk for dry and unhealthy skin and hair

Beard oil is a simple solution to the discomforts of a beard.

Some beard oils may be fortified with vitamins or fragrances, but fundamentally, beard oil is composed of two ingredients: a carrier oil and an essential oil (or a blend of them).  The essential oils provide all the fragrance that’s needed.  

Essential Oils for your DIY Beard Oil

There are many essential oils to choose from for this Beard Oil Recipe.

Some oils that tend to be favorites for the males are:

Jojoba Oil

You’ll need Jojoba Oil. You could also use Fractionated Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, or whatever your favorite carrier oil is. If you’re not sure, go with Jojoba because it is closest to our skin’s natural oil.

This is the Jojoba Oil that I buy.

You can grab some waterproof sticker paper  like THIS ONE that runs through your printer.  

This sticker paper  is waterproof in case the oil runs down the side of the dropper bottle, and believe me, it will.

This is the perfect type of sticker paper for other essential oil DIY projects, for example roller ball recipes

Once you print the image on the sticker paper, cut it out with some stickers, and stick it to your dropper bottle.

A few washes a week with your favorite shampoo and some extra attention with your homemade beard oil is all it takes to grow and maintain a healthy looking and feeling beard.
