A long time ago, sometime around the year 200 CE, the learned philosopher Clement of Alexandria dispensed his musings on the beauty and power of the beard. What he said went something like: “This, then, the mark of the man, the beard, by which he is seen to be a man… It is the token of the superior nature… It is therefore unwise to violate the symbol of manhood, hairiness.” In other words: shaving is for quitters.
Indeed, right throughout the course of human history, beards have symbolised not only strength, but also character. Think about it: what does it take to grow a truly great beard? A lot of time and patience.
These are the qualities that mark the beard wearer out as someone who does not kowtow to fads or trends. A man with a beard forges his own path in life. So, the question now is: since you’ve decided to embrace the bewhiskered lifestyle, what beard oil is best for maintaining a strong and healthy beard?
“This, then, the mark of the man, the beard, by which he is seen to be a man… It is the token of the superior nature… It is therefore unwise to violate the symbol of manhood, hairiness.”
The use of beard oil originates from ancient Mesopotamia. The men of ancient Mesopotamia famously wore their beards long. They also took great care of them by conditioning with sesame seed oil. Since that time beard oil ingredients have come a long way. These days, beard oil is suggested for men who sport a short or medium length beard.
But what beard oil is best? I hear you ask. Look for a beard oil with all-natural ingredients. This will ensure that there aren’t any chemical nasties which can dry your beard out, leaving it dull and/or brittle.
Should I apply beard oil every day? Once again, I hear you. The answer is… it depends. If your beard is feeling soft and looking tame, then no. However, if it is in need of a little TLC, go for it. When applying beard oil, remember: less is more. Simply massage a few drops through the entirety of your beard. Thus, your facial hair will be feeling fresh and soft and looking a million dollars. Friends and family as well as complete strangers will not be able to resist coming up and touching your glorious whiskers! The added bonus of beard oil is that it helps combat the irritation that is often experienced by neophyte beard growers. Our beard oil for men can help with growth.
Purchasing a beard brush is an important investment, especially for men with beards of more lengthy proportions. Indeed, regularly brushing your beard helps to dispense the oils within the hair follicle more evenly throughout the entirety of your beard.
The same is true for the beard oil you apply to your beard. A beard brush is also an excellent exfoliator, getting rid of the dry, dead skin (dandruff) underneath your beard. And lastly, a good brush will help give your beard a textured, uniform look.
So, if your whiskers are in need of some serious TLC it might be time to reach for the beard oil and beard brush as part of your daily facial hair care routine. Doing so will help you to easily style and care for “symbol of manhood”.
Using the aforementioned tips will leave you looking like a seriously stylish bearded gentleman in no time. For more Beard oils for men visit the shop.
