Beard Oil Facial Reactions

By now, most men have learned that a proper beard grooming experience requires some form of a beard oil. Men’s beard hair is prone to dryness as it’s thicker and coarser than the hair that’s on our heads. Because it’s so naturally dry, it needs a lot more moisture than our regular hair. This is why beard oil is essential. The right beard oil naturally hydrates each strand so that our facial hair is healthy, soft, shiny and tame.

But, once in a while, a beard oil can have a bad reaction with a man’s skin. After all, when we apply beard oil to our facial hair, a lot of it inevitably absorbs into our faces. The good news is that it’s very easy to avoid skin irritation caused by a particular beard oil.

What is Beard Oil?

Beard oil is a grooming product that goes on the beard at least once a day. It’s an oil-based formula that is massaged directly into the facial hair and, consequently, the skin. Typically, it comes in a dropper bottle, and only a few drops are used per grooming session.

How Beard Oil May React with a Man’s Skin

Remember that any ingredients that are in your beard oil will ultimately end up getting absorbed beneath the surface of your skin. This is why a man has to be very careful when choosing a beard oil. It cannot contain ingredients that are known irritants. And, additionally, a man has to make sure that he doesn’t have unique sensitivities to any ingredients that are in the formula.

Factors that Determine How a Man’s Face Will React to Beard Oil

These two factors are the most common:

The Thickness and Length of His Beard

Every man’s beard is unique. We each have our own facial hair type that determines whether our beard is coarse or fine, thin or thick and curly or straight. Every man also has his own beard length. So, naturally, he must find a way to determine the right amount of beard oil for his unique beard. If, say, a man has a short beard that’s thin and fine, and he uses too much beard oil, it’s more likely to react with his skin.

The Ingredients in the Beard Oil

What’s most important is making sure that the beard oil you choose has ingredients that are good for your skin. There’s actually more to consider than you would think when it comes to ingredients. For one thing, you have to make sure that the formula is free of ingredients that are known to irritate the complexion. Ingredients like sulfates and synthetic fragrances are notorious for causing skin irritation, which can wreak havoc on both your skin and your beard over time.

Also, a man has to make sure that he’s not allergic to any ingredients that are in a formula. Allergic reactions can cause a man’s face to become red and inflamed, and this can eventually lead to hair loss.

This is why it’s widely believed that plant-based formulas are the way to go when it comes to beard oils. Plant-based ingredients are less likely to cause a negative reaction. We suggest going with a beard oil that contains gentle plant-derived oils like jojoba oil, coconut oil, olive oil and grapeseed oil.
