Beard oil is crucial for keeping your beard and skin healthy and comfortable. While pre-made beard oils are readily available, they can become pricey. DIY beard oil allows you to customize the scent and consistency of your beard oil—and saves you a few bucks at the same time. There are two parts involved: carrier oils and essential oils.
Carrier oils will make up the majority of your DIY beard oil recipe. Jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, and argan oil are three common and effective carrier oils. These provide the base to dilute the more concentrated essential oils, but that is only the beginning. Even more importantly, these carrier oils are easily absorbed by the beard and skin, softening the beard and nourishing the skin underneath.
Essential oils are what add personality to your beard oil. Use caution though—every drop of essential oil goes a long way, so remember: measure one drop at a time. The difference of even just 2-3 drops can completely ruin the scent of your beard oil. Essential oils will add the scent to your DIY beard oil and can offer other qualities as well.
