Our Guide to Using Beard Oil
Beard oil has many benefits for both the hair and the skin underneath. It moisturizes, prevents beardruff, reduces itching, and makes your beard easier to style. This guide covers how to apply beard oil effectively, along with some helpful tips and tricks.
When Should Beard Oil Be Applied?
We recommend applying beard oil in the morning as part of your daily grooming routine. A second application in the evening can help too - especially if your beard is dry, exposed to weather, or you work outdoors in dusty or hot conditions.
For best results, use a mild beard wash beforehand, then apply beard oil directly to the skin and beard. Follow with a beard balm or butter to lock in moisture.
Tip: After washing, towel-dry your beard gently. It can be slightly damp or fully dry before applying oil.
How Much Beard Oil Should You Use?
The amount depends on the length and dryness of your beard:
- 1–2 sprays for up to 1 month of growth
- 3–4 sprays for 1–3 months
- 5–6 sprays for 3–12 months and longer
Start small—you can always add more. Your beard should feel soft and slightly glossy, not greasy.
How Often Should You Use Beard Oil?
Most customers find 1-3 applications per day ideal. If your beard feels dry or itchy, reapply as needed.
How to Disperse Beard Oil
Lejonjon Beard Oil comes in a pump bottle for easy application. Either spray it onto your palms and apply evenly or spray directly into your beard. Then use your hands, comb, or brush/comb to distribute.
How to Apply Beard Oil
- Spray into your palms or directly into your beard.
- Work through your beard with hands, comb, or brush — making sure it reaches the skin underneath.
- Style as needed.
- Reapply throughout the day if required.
- For extra conditioning and hold, follow up with Beard Balm or Beard Butter.
Why Brush or Comb Your Beard?
- Prevents ingrown hairs
- Makes your beard appear fuller
- Keeps stray hairs from your mouth
- Trains beard growth in your preferred direction
- Evenly distributes beard oil
