So you've grown a beard...well done for manning up! Now you’ve got to take care of it and keep that mane in good condition. Question is how? We’ve heard people use face cream to hair spray on their beards?!
Those mentioned above are a definite no no for the beard. Your facial hair is different from the hair on your head and using products that contain chemicals found in regular hair products are definitely not suitable. This is where beard oil comes in. London Beard Co beard oils are made from 100% natural ingredients, containing primarily olive and argan oil. Both of these oils are known for their beneficial hair and skin care properties.
Some benefits of olive oil are:
-
Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats and vitamins that are good for both skin and hair.
-
The beard can be a very dry place. Good thing is that olive oil is a natural moisturiser. When worked into the beard it will help moisturise and rehydrate the skin underneath the hair or stubble.
-
It helps prevent a frizzy beard and can help tame the mane.
-
Want a softer beard? Olive oil will nourish & rejuvenate the hair.
Let’s talk about argan oil:
-
Also known as 'liquid gold', argan oil is derived from the nut of the argan tree which is found only in certain areas in Morocco, making it quite rare.
-
It is highly rich in Vitamin E which contains antioxidants that can help boost cells and hair growth.
-
The oil also adds shine and gloss to hair which will make your beard appear healthy.
-
Just like olive oil, argan oil can be used as conditioner. You can even use the beard oil before as well as after taking a shower or washing your face.
So in a nutshell, beard oil will keep your beard nourished, hydrated, looking good and not to forget smelling fantastic.
Review by the Beard Mag
http://www.thebeardmag.com/product-reviews/london-beard-company-beard-oil/
The Citrus blend is an intricate combination of base & essential oils. The fusion of lemon & grapefruit together with notes of tea tree produce an invigorating & pleasant aroma. The smell of lemon and lime is very strong but not too overpowering. With summer fast approaching, we think this oil would compliment a lighter summer fragrance, it will keep your beard feeling light and smelling aromatic.
Focusing on the oils – they claim that their base mixture is designed to give their beard oil a lightweight & easily absorbable texture. We definitely felt this, once the oil is heated in the balm – you can feel the oil soften your skin and applying it to the beard is very softening. As soon as you start applying the product to your beard, you can feel the quality coming through, along with the distinct smell.
After using this product daily for several weeks, we definitely felt that it helped condition the beard as well affirm its claims of making it softer and healthier. The size of the bottle and the amount of beard oil it includes will keep you happy for at least a month when used in moderation.
