How to use and apply Beard Oil in 3 easy steps.

How to Apply Beard Oil Like a Pro

Using beard oil isn’t just about making your beard look good—it’s about keeping it healthy, itch-free, and smelling fresh. If you’re new to it, don’t worry—it’s super simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide that makes applying beard oil part of a routine you’ll actually enjoy.

Step 1: Start with a Fresh Beard

The best time to apply beard oil is right after a warm shower. Your pores are open, your beard is clean, and it’s slightly damp—perfect conditions for absorbing the oil.
Pat your beard gently with a towel—don’t dry it out completely. Then, pour a few drops of beard oil into the palm of your hand.

How much should you use?

• Short beard: 2–3 drops

• Medium beard: 3–5 drops

• Long or thick beard: 6+ drops

You can always start small and add more if needed. A little goes a long way—and too much can leave your beard feeling greasy.

Step 2: Work It In

Rub your hands together to warm and spread the oil. Then, massage it through your beard using your fingers:

• Start at the cheeks and sideburns, working your way down.

• Don’t forget the underside—lift your beard and run your fingers upward from your neck to your chin.

• Be sure to reach the skin beneath your beard. That’s where the oil does some of its best work—moisturizing the skin and preventing dryness or itch.

Take your time. Enjoy the process. Your beard deserves it.

Step 3: Finish with a Comb or Brush

Once the oil is evenly spread, grab your beard comb or brush. This helps to:

• Distribute the oil all the way through

• Tame flyaways and shape your beard

• Stimulate your skin and encourage healthy growth

Brushing also gives your beard a more polished, intentional look. If you don’t have a good grooming tool yet, check out our Mini Grooming Kit. It’s compact, quality-made, and perfect for keeping your beard in top form.

Why Beard Oil Is a Game-Changer

Using beard oil daily can seriously level up your beard game. Here’s what it does for you:

• Softens coarse beard hairs

• Soothes itch and irritation

• Hydrates dry skin and helps prevent “beardruff”

• Keeps your beard looking fuller, healthier, and more well-groomed

• Smells amazing (unless you prefer unscented—we’ve got that too)

A Quick Recap:

1. Apply beard oil after a shower to a towel-damp beard

2. Use just a few drops and massage it through your beard and down to the skin

3. Finish with a comb or brush for even distribution and styling

Stick with it, and your beard will not only look better—it’ll feel better too. Smooth. Soft. Healthy. That’s what beard care is all about.
