BEARD OILS, ARE THEY NEEDED AND DO THEY REALLY WORK?

Author: Faiysal Kothiwala

A question that I am often asked from time to time, which tends to arise around the month of ‘No Shave November’, is: ‘Are beard oils really as necessary as people suggest they are?’

And the short answer you will always receive from me is a simple one-worded reply: Yes.

If you are a regular reader of the ‘TBS’ beard blog, you will no doubt have read my many posts where I continuously stress the importance of using a premium-quality beard oil or balm when it comes to the day-to-day care of your glorious beard.

So, today I wanted to reinforce those reasons as to why every bearded gentleman should be using beard oils...

BEARD OILS HELP RESTORE YOUR BEARD’S HEALTH AND VITALITY!

Using a generous helping of beard oil each and every day will help restore your beard’s health and vitality by repairing any troublesome areas you may have, such as split ends, whilst softening any wiry, rough areas too. When your beard is softer, it will also prove much easier to style and control, making your life a little easier when it comes to maintaining your furry chops.

SAY GOODBYE TO DEAD HAIRS AND BEARD DRYNESS!

When the day-to-day elements come into contact with your beard, they can have detrimental effects on your beard’s well-being. In the hotter summer months, you will notice your facial forest will become much drier and somewhat brittle to the touch. The same applies to the cold wintry months-condensation can easily form within your facial hair and moustache and cause beard-circles (Yes, they really do exist!) which are never fun.

Using beard oils will help eliminate beard hair dryness by providing the right level of moisture and hydration for your face, helping your beard continue to grow big, strong, and long.

For a deeper dive into the causes and treatments for this common issue, our article on dry, brittle beard causes and treatments provides comprehensive solutions.

SLAP ON THOSE OILS AND SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND!

Bad beard days happen-that is a sad yet simple fact. But when your beard game is on point, ‘TBS’ oils and balms will add an extra shine and glow to your beard’s appearance.

My beard is of a rather large size and extremely ginger (Ginger beards FTW!), and after I have applied some ‘TBS’ Day Liquid Tonic to my face, the extra shine enhances the beard’s appearance and looks fantastic for all the right reasons.

HELP SOOTHE THAT BEARD ITCH WITH SOME BEARD OILS!

This comes in really handy when you first set off on your beard-growing journey, but applying a daily dose of ‘TBS’ beard oil, like our Loki Beard Oil, will further help eliminate that dreaded ‘beard itch’ phase.

Once you begin applying oils to your beard, your skin also benefits from soaking in much-needed moisture.

For beginners, our complete beard care kits provide everything needed to maintain healthy skin and beard.

Was that a huge sigh of relief from every ‘No Shave November’ participant I just heard?
