About The Best Beard Balm

By Enid Hinton


There is a difference between using balms and using oils. The best beard balm is both conditioner and shaping aid. It should make your beard look thicker, moisturize it and help you achieve the desired shape at the same time. The ones that contain natural ingredients won't irritate your skin or cause damage to your facial hair.

Oils aren't suppose to shape or hold, they are designed to moisturize and nourish at first place. They will prevent the new hair itch, nourish both hairs and skin and improve the appearance. Good ones are based on all natural ingredients, and argan oil and jojoba oil are probably the best natural oils used for this particular purpose.

Balms may contain synthetic compounds that can cause skin irritation. Those based on petroleum jelly are especially unhealthy and can cause itchiness and other problems. There are several really effective natural sealants that can be used instead, for example Shea butter. This natural sealant is simply great for shaping and holding your beard. Beeswax has similar qualities.

If you want to have really attractive, soft and healthy beard, you have to use moisturizers. Without them, it may become fragile, coarse and brittle. Good balm contains natural moisturizers such as jojoba and argan oil. After washing your face with mild soap designed for this purpose, you should let it dry first, and then apply your balm using your fingers. Apply it on your skin as well, gently rubbing it in. It will nourish the roots as well.

Another difference between products containing synthetic and natural ingredients is that you don't have to rinse off the natural ones. They are designed to be left in until you wash your beard. Synthetic ones should be removed nightly, because they might cause damages if left in. It is always better choice to use natural products. In fact, you can combine good quality organic oils and balms to get even better results.

When choosing your products, make sure they are made of all natural, preferably organic ingredients. These products are designed to soften coarse and rogue hairs and to stop the itch of the new growth. They don't contain artificial fragrances and are skin friendly. They make your beard look thicker, healthier and more appealing, and that's exactly what you expect them to do.

Warm and light scent of pomades based on Shea butter, beeswax and similar ingredients is especially appealing. With jojoba or argan oils added for moisturizing, these products penetrate deeply into the skin, promoting faster and healthier growth and preventing breakage. At the same time, they provide the desired shape and hold it throughout the day. The same product can usually be used on your mustaches and hair as well.

Wash your facial hair maybe once or twice every week. When it is dry, apply a little bit of your favorite natural balm and massage it gently in. Don't forget to apply it on your skin as well. If you choose good quality products, you will have thick and healthy beard, well shaped and nourished.
