Or, maybe you want to partake in the lumberjack look and join a bearded dude MeetUp group...Whatever the case, if you're planning on growing out your beard--or currently already have one--then you should acquaint yourself with beard oil. Today.
"What is Beard Oil and Why Use It?"
Both great questions. To answer them, here's a bulleted rundown:
Beard Oil Is...
+ A mixture of beneficial oils, like Jojoba, or Argan Oil Moroccan Liquid Gold with deliciously scented essential oils.
+ It's a way to add scent to your facial hair and keep things in check.
What It Does...
+ Though named beard oil, it does more than tame your hair. The oils found inside your concoction make way for a great moisturizing experience.
+ After one month of beard growth, beard itch can settle in and be uncomfortable. Adding oil to a cleansing routine, wards off this problem, soothing the skin.
