So, you are sitting here on the internet, probably looking for products for your beard and skin -- or you love someone and want to treat their beard and skin nicely!
Beardwood is here to save the day and answer your most commonly asked questions with some helpful answers (and products) shamelessly, of course, for you to look at.
We love beards, we love people with beards, we love people who have beards, so let's get rolling on the FAQs!
1. What is beard oil and how does it work?
We don't want to sit there and say beard oil is oil for your beard because, duh, beard oil is here to not only keep your beard hydrated and moisturized but also take care of the skin below.
Shaving, outdoor activity, and general daily elements like the sun can take away that sheen and bounce in your mane, so beard oil gives you a little back and also takes care of your skin!
2. How to apply beard oil for best results?
We have a guide for that! Our step-by-step guide to proper beard product usage is helpful (if you want to take a look). You want to make sure your skin and beard are clean but dry when using both beard oil and balm afterward. You will start by massaging the oil into your beard and skin. Once the beard oil is in, you'll finish the look with beard balm to keep your beard styled and controlled, Voila!
3. What are the benefits of using beard oil daily?
Beyond the fact that your skin and beard will feel fabulous, there is a total self-care routine you get to follow. Taking care of your beard and yourself is major and in 2025 we are treating ourselves well.
But, seriously, your skin and beard will become hydrated and you will hopefully be the talk of the town when you show up with your beard shining in the light.
4. Can beard oil help with beard growth and thickness?
While there are always going to be genetics at play (not our wheelhouse), we can say that it MAY help with beard growth! The regular stimulation of the oils and balms into the hair and skin can produce more hydration and even solely increase the LOOK of your beard without any additional hair growth needed.
Think of a plant blooming once watered, the same effect could happen here!
5. How often should I use beard oil?
Beard oil can be a daily use, if needed for dryer beards. But, again, we are all different. If you want it to be a regular but not everyday part of your routine, we suggest 3-5 days!
Here's a quick guide for beard balm and oil use:
Stubble 1-2 drops
Short beard 3-4 drops
Medium beard 4-6 drops
Long beard 6-8 drops or more as needed
6. What ingredients should I look for in beard oil?
You want to look for nourishing oils like argan, sunflower, jojoba, etc. A mixture of these oils gives the most optimized nutrition to your beard and more importantly your skin. If you are looking for some beard oil that has natural ingredients, feels good, and is great for your skin, here are some Beardwood beard oil and balm products to consider.
7. Is beard oil suitable for all skin types?
Beard oil is suitable for all skin types but each beard oil may be better suited for a specific beard type.
8. How to choose the right beard oil for my beard type?
We suggested the amount of beard oil you should use above (go back if you need a refresher) but when it comes to beard oil, you want it to reflect you! Beyond the oils, skin type, etc. what scent do you like? What speaks to you in terms of fragrance?
We've got some really amazing beard oil scents here at Beardwood to consider:
9. Can I make my own beard oil at home?
Short and sweet, leave this to the professionals because we take the time to get the formulas working together along with the scents. Plus, we love what we do, so let US take care of YOU!
