Application

Beard Oil

Beard oil works best when used directly after a hot shower on a partially damp beard. About 3-5 drops should suffice, but use more if required, especially longer beards. Distributing it evenly through the beard and also on the skin underneath the hair is important as this helps to retain the moisture in the skin, not just on the beard hairs. It helps soften and lock in moisture, which is what our beard hairs struggle with. I would recommend using beard oil once a day, using a comb to brush through to see best results, but I would also encourage you to see what works best for you to get a better feel for how your beard looks and feels.

Beard Balm

Beard balm is generally used to help shape and eliminate fly-aways in your beard. This is because it has the addition of wax, in most cases beeswax, which retains shape for longer as opposed to just using oil, which does very little to help shape your beard. Because beard balm contains wax, washing your beard becomes more frequent as the wax can build up over time if used regularly, blocking your pores which can lead to breakouts. If you wash your beard daily then this shouldn't be a problem for you. Beard balm is great for using on occasion and a small fingernail amount should do the trick to maintain the shape you want.

Beard Butter

Beard butter is quite similar to beard balm, just without the wax element. Beard butter is quite versatile as it softens and coats the hairs, just like the balm and oil, but has a certain smooth feel to it. Beard butter tends to be much softer than balm and used in conjunction with beard oil makes for a wonderful pairing and will generally last you the whole day. Using a wooden comb is best for any beard products as it helps to evenly coat all of the hairs without leaving any residue behind on the comb.

Moustache Wax

Moustache wax contains more beeswax/ other forms of wax than beard balm does, allowing for a much more firm hold which is ideal for styling your moustache any way you like. It also contains essential nutrients and oils much like balm and works brilliantly in conjunction with beard balm to set you apart for that aspired look.
