The beard is one of the rawest and manliness things you can grow. However, beard maintenance has become quite a complicated task over the past decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How can you cut through the clutter of all the products that the marketers are throwing at you and find out what you really need in order to have proper beard maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From beard oil to beard combs and everything in between, the beard maintenance market\u00a0is exploding whether you like it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, I am going to break down the most popular beard products on the market today and see if they really are worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Actually yes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before I explain that let me just give a quick primer to what beard oil is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beard oil is an oil (well duh) that is composed of several different types of carrier and essential oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most common carrier oils that you may see in beard oil is jojoba oil. It’s an oil that most closely resembles the natural oil that is found in your skin. If you’re ever considering using beard oil, be sure to try one with jojoba before branching out to the other oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, coupled with the carrier oils is another type of oil called essential oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These oils are there for two reasons, primarily for adding the aroma and secondary for some of the added benefits such as increased blood flow (helps with beard growth). There are a plethora of essential oils in existence. However, if you have very sensitive skin, you may want to steer clear of the citrus ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beard oil has by and far exploded in the past few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you take a quick look at Google trends for instance you can see that interest in beard oil was relatively non-existent just a few short years ago:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
