If you have decided to grow a beard, you may think all you need to do is to quit shaving, and you will have a full, healthy beard in a week or so. However, unless you are genetically blessed, this is not always the case. Beard oils are a good option for making sure you grow the beard you want. Read the ingredients on the bottle and the literature that comes with it to make sure it will do what you need it to do. Different essential oils can resolve different properties. Here are just a few benefits you will receive when you use one regularly.

Healthy Skin

When you grow a beard, you can end up with ingrown hairs and a buildup of sweat, sebum, and dirt on your skin. This can lead to painful acne and even infections in the skin. If left alone, you will end up having to shave the beard to treat the skin under it. However, with the proper beard oil, the oil, dirt, and any bacteria will be cleaned from the skin.

Better Growth

When the skin is clean, and the pores are clear, hairs can emerge faster. Rubbing beard oils that contain essential oils for cleaning and astringent properties into the hairs and onto the skin will keep your pores clear. You will notice your beard is fuller and without patchy areas.

Softer Hairs that Don't Itch

When your beard hairs are soft, they will not scratch your face as much (or anyone else's face for that matter.) Beard oils will keep the hairs soft and supple, even the new ones that tend to curl and itch the most.  In addition, the hairs will not look dull and dry but instead will be shiny and luxurious.

Dandruff

Having skin flakes in your beard is embarrassing. Beard oils will keep the skin from drying out and flaking. If you do have a few flakes, as you comb the oil in you will be combing them out.

No matter what type or how long you want your beard to grow, you will need to maintain it if you do not want to look unkempt and sloppy. A well-groomed beard that is healthy looks good and is envied. However, a sloppy, patchy beard can give the impression you are lazy and do not care about yourself. Would you go out or to work without washing and brushing the hair on your head? Then don't go out without properly caring for your beard. Find a beard oil that does what you need it to do and stick with it.
