Your beard just got a whole lot better.

With winter on the horizon, beards are sure to be making a comeback in the near future. If you’re planning on growing out your scruff or maintaining a blissful beard, it’s time to jump on the beard oil bandwagon.

Beard oil is essential for maintaining facial hair as it moisturizes the hair and skin in order to achieve a beard that is shiny and groomed -rather than flaky or shaggy. To upkeep a beautiful beard, beard oil should be applied once every day, ideally first thing in the morning after showering or cleansing.

Now, you could easily go out and spend $10-20 dollars on a 1-2oz bottle of this magical oil, but where is the fun in that? With our DIY guide below, you can make your own beard oil and reap the rewards.
