The first time I used beard oil I managed to evoke a massive reaction. If this following story sounds like something you’re doing now, you should never use beard oil ever again! The following lesson is very important for the health of your beard, so stay tuned.
It’s a story of when I first started using products on my facial hair. I would pour lots of oil into my palms and gently rub it through my beard. That was no problem. I figured the more I use, the healthier my beard will be. So I’d grab a little more before I leave the house Beard Oil and work it through my beard again.
Over time I got a really, really itchy beard and my first thought was that my facial hair was dry.
So what have I done? I’ve worked more beard oil into my hair. It caused big problems! It could have been the quality of the beard oil (you have to be very careful when making a blend as the essential oils can be very skin reactive. 96-99% of a blend should be carrier oils) or the amount I used.
Both consequences can provoke violent reactions. My skin burned and I had a big rash where I used products (rest assured it wasn’t our product, it was another best beard oil company’s). problems. There are a few steps you need to take to avoid the stress I’ve had to endure:
1) Choose a good product
Track how much you use. Just aim for a 100% organic, cold-pressed oil and you should be fine
2) Follow the guidelines
These are our guidelines for the beard oils we make with the amount you should be using on a daily basis.
– less than a 5p piece dosage for anyone growing 0-3 months
– 5p piece dosage for 3-6 months of growth
– 5 cent piece ++ for 6-12 months of growth
It all depends on the size and age of your beard. The more hair, the more oil you need. Just follow what works for you and be careful with the amount you use.
Test the results. Skin and facial hair are different for everyone. You may need more or less than our recommended dosage. I’m afraid there is no solution, just see what works for you. I hope you found this article useful and good luck with your beard growth.
