Beard Oil Tames Your Whiskers (And Makes You Smell Good Too!)


I've been growing my beard for a few months now and it has reached that awkward long stage that makes it looks unruly. Despite trying to keep my beard trimmed, I fear I'm looking more like a hobo than a hot lumberjack. Just as I was thinking of shaving off my beard and starting afresh, a friend mentioned beard oil.

As a fan of all things old fashioned, I was intrigued by beard oil. The name conjures images of men in union suits and top hats applying a potion to their facial hair. After a little research all I have to say is I can't believe I haven't used beard oil sooner! Like a conditioner for facial hair, beard oil promises not only to help smooth my whiskers, it'll leave a lean-in-and-smell-me scent on them too. Talk about a win-win!

TOP ROW:

  • BRO: Beard Rejuvenating Oil from Amazon ($14.00) I just ordered this beard oil and it should be arriving today. I'll report back on how my beard and face react to it. I was drawn in by the promise that one of the ingredients, apricot kernel oil, contains vitamins A, C and E. Oh, and it smells like Patchouli. I'm embracing my inner hippie. 
  • Burroughs Beard Oil from Prospector Co. ($28) This woodsy-scented concoction contains kukui, jojoba, argan and grapeseed oils. 
  • Red Hook Beard Oil from Brooklyn Grooming ($29) From Brooklyn, the land of hipsters with beards, and made with organic sesame and hempseed oils, this face tonic smells like "Bay Rum with hints of Cardamom and Citrus."
