No one likes a scratchy beard. But luckily, you can achieve an irresistible beard with the help of a few choice products. If you’re new to the beard care game, you’re probably wondering what the difference is between beard oil and beard butter. While these products basically do the same thing, there are a few key differences you should be aware of before applying them.
So grab a drink, and continue reading about the differences between beard oil and beard butter and how you can incorporate these products into your beard care routine.
What Is the Difference Between Beard Oil and Beard Butter?
Beard butter is a soft balm formulated to condition and style your beard. Beard oil is a liquid substance that can also condition your beard, but it won’t style and hold your beard like butter will.
What Is Beard Oil?
A good beard oil should be a permanent part of your beard care routine. It’s designed to nourish and hydrate your beard while introducing essential oils like jojoba and eucalyptus into your mane.
Blessed Men’s Nourishing Beard Oil is blended with a combination of essential oils and vitamin E to help nourish and hydrate your beard, leaving it soft and shiny. Plus, it’s vegan—what’s better than that?
What Is Beard Butter?
Beard butter is designed to nourish, hydrate, and help form your beard into a work of art. Like beard oil, it’s typically enriched with essential and natural oils to help soothe tired, dry strands.
Blessed Men’s Conditioning Beard Butter helps deep condition your beard while providing an ideal amount of hold, leaving your beard styled and buttery soft. Beard butter can also give your beard more volume, making it look full and fresh.
When Should I Use Beard Oil?
The longer your beard grows, the higher the chance of developing issues like dryness, redness, itching, and dandruff. This is due to the absorption of your skin’s natural oils. Beard oil is an excellent way to hydrate, preserve the health of your skin and beard, and promote further growth without the itch. We recommend using beard oil right before bed.
When Should I Use Beard Butter?
Beard butter is a great way to soften and define your beard—and it can be used any time you want, so long as your beard is clean. Just rub a small amount of beard butter into your hands and apply it evenly throughout your beard for a soft, styled finish. Beard butter is also ideal for reducing breakage and relieving the dreaded beard itch.
How Do I Use Beard Butter and Oil?
Still not sure how to use beard butter and oil? Check out our example on how to use beard butter and oil together for a beard worth boasting about.
Step #1: Wash Your Beard
It’s best to start with a clean slate. Wash your beard to get rid of any build-up or residue.
Step #2: Dry Your Beard
Next, dry your beard with a microfiber towel to eliminate the chance of friction or frizz.
Step #3: Apply Beard Oil
Once fully dried, apply your beard oil. Rub a small amount of beard oil into the palms of your hands, and apply it evenly throughout your beard. Remember to start small and add more as needed. Moderation is key.
Step #4: Apply Beard Butter
Finish your beard care routine with your beard butter. Like beard oil, you’ll want to rub a small amount between your hands and apply it evenly. Use a boar bristle brush or quality beard comb to style.
Step #5: Style
Now it’s show time. Style your beard as you like, and enjoy a soft, fresh, full beard with a hold that’ll last all day long.
What if My Beard Is Too Short?
Don’t worry. Beard oil can be used on short beards and even stubble. The beard oil will help nourish the follicles and soften your skin.
And for the guys who have heard complaints from their partners: take note. Beard oil is the best way to turn your stubble into silk.
Benefits of Regular Application
Regular application of beard butter and oil will have long-lasting effects on your beard. As you continue to use beard oil and beard butter, you’ll likely notice your beard’s texture change.
If your beard has been rough, scratchy, or flaky, beard oil and beard butter will help alleviate the itch and turn your beard into a soft, buttery mane you’ll be proud to show off.
