Do You Need Beard Oil?

What does beard oil do for me or my skin?

As we have mentioned above, beard oil acts as a very effective facial hair and skin moisturizer.

When applied to your beard, the oil goes straight to your follicle, while the excess oil is retained on the surface of your skin. This creates a perfect barrier on top of your skin which protects it from the elements by allowing your skin to retain more water, improving skin cell regeneration leading to well moisturized, soft and flexible skin under your facial hair.

Excellent for dry skin and for fighting beardruff

Beard oil has proven itself as an excellent tool in your arsenal for fighting beard dandruff. But in order to understand how beard oil helps you prevent or stop beard dandruff we need to understand what is happening just beneath your skin, and how beard oil can help.

At the root of your hair follicle, a pair of so-called sebaceous glands is located.

The sole purpose of the sebaceous glands is to make sure that your hair and skin are coated with a protective layer of oil called sebum oil.

As your facial hair gets longer it would naturally require more sebum oil to coat the follicle. However, the sebaceous glands are able to produce finite amounts of sebum oil as they stay the same size throughout your lifetime.

Since your sebaceous glands can not keep up with the sebum oil production that is needed by your growing hair follicle, your beard and your skin become dry and itchy. They loose the protective layer of oil which allows for better water retention of your skin. Your skin becomes dry and starts to itch, which in terms leads to flaking which turns beardruff.

Applying beard oil would supplement to your sebum oil, revitalizing your facial skin, ridding your beard of beardruff.

Similar as with acne, some beard oils can also help with eczema depending on the oils used in the beard oil mix.

Eczema is a term used to describe a set of chronic skin conditions caused by inflammation. It is a hereditary allergy that causes inflammation of the skin, but the exact cause is unknown.

Even though the exact causes of eczema are unknown, researchers have identified several proteins and enzymes as pro-inflammatory, among which the COX-2 enzyme has been observed at elevated levels during inflammation.
