What Is Beard Oil, Really?

Beard oil is not some hipster gimmick. It’s skincare for your face and fuel for your facial hair.

At its core, beard oil is a blend of carrier oils and essential oils designed to hydrate the skin beneath your beard, soften and tame your facial hair, reduce itchiness, dandruff, and irritation, promote healthy beard growth, smell like alpha energy.

Who Should Use Beard Oil?

If your face grows fuzz, you need beard oil in your routine. Doesn’t matter if you’ve got stubble, a goatee, or a full-face masterpiece — the skin underneath needs care, and your beard deserves to be nourished.

How to Apply Beard Oil Like a Pro

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Here’s how to apply beard oil — the right way.

Step 1: Start With a Clean Beard

Morning routine: After you shower or wash your face, pat your beard dry. Never apply beard oil to a wet beard — water blocks the oils from absorbing. A damp beard is fine. Think “light mist,” not “dripping faucet.”

Pro Tip: For best results, use a natural beard wash like our Brass Knuckles Beard Shampoo (no harsh chemicals) to clean your beard without stripping the natural oils.

Step 2: Drop It Like It’s Hot (But Not Too Hot)

Use a dropper to dispense a few drops of beard oil into the palm of your hand. The amount of beard oil needed depends on the length of your beard. Here's a basic guideline:

• Stubble: 1–2 drops

• Short beard: 3–5 drops

• Medium beard: 6–8 drops

• Long beard: 8–10+ drops

Less is more. How much beard oil is too much? If you look like you face planted a frying pan, you’ve gone too far.

Step 3: Warm It Up

Rub the oil between your palms to warm it up and spread it evenly. This activates the oils and makes application smoother.

Smell that? That’s the scent of dominance, confidence, and natural ruggedness. Breathe it in.

Step 4: Apply With Purpose

Beard Oil works best when massaged into your beard, starting at the roots and working outward. Be thorough — the goal is to get the oil all the way down to your skin. That’s where the magic happens.

Use your fingers like a rake:

• Get under the beard

• Hit the cheeks

• Don’t forget the mustache

• Work it through to the ends

Take your time. Enjoy it. This is self-care, not a chore.

Step 5: Comb It Out

Use a wide-tooth beard comb, like this, or boar bristle brush to evenly distribute the oil, tame flyaways, and detangle the beard.

Brushing or combing also stimulates the hair follicles and promotes healthy growth. Bonus: it makes you look damn refined.

Step 6: Style & Shape

If you’re working with a mane that’s more unruly than not, adding beard balm might be a necessary step in your beard care routine. An effective balm will help tame and shape even the most unruly hair, ensuring that your face the day with the best beard a beardsman can have.

When Should You Apply Beard Oil?

Morning: Right after your shower, when your pores are open and your beard is clean.

Evening: If you live in a dry climate or your beard gets dry fast, a second application at night can work wonders.

Post-shave: Got a beard fade or lineup? Beard oil soothes the skin and keeps everything looking sharp.

Make it part of your daily grooming routine, like brushing your teeth or sharpening your axe.
