1. Choose a High-Quality Beard Oil
Not all oils are created equal. The market is flooded with watered-down blends that do nothing but leave your beard greasy.
Our Rugged Beard Oil is lab-crafted in the UK with premium, natural ingredients that hydrate, soften, and nourish your beard and the skin beneath. No parabens. No fluff. No nonsense. It smells incredible, absorbs quickly, and won’t leave you looking like you dipped your chin in a fryer.
2. When To Apply Beard Oil
The best time to apply beard oil is right after a warm shower. This is because your pores are open, your skin is clean, and your beard is damp, all of which helps the oil absorb faster and more effectively.
You can also apply it in the morning as part of your grooming routine or before bed if you live in a dry climate. If your face is super dry or you live in a desert climate, you can apply both morning and night, too.

3. How Much Beard Oil to Use
This depends on your beard length. Here’s a rough guide:
- Stubble: 1-2 drops
- Short beard: 2-3 drops
- Medium beard: 3-6 drops
- Long/full beard: 6-10+ drops
Start small. You can always add more if needed, but using too much will weigh your beard down.
4. How To Apply Beard Oil (Step-by-Step)
Step 1
Dispense the desired amount of beard oil based on your beard into the palm of your hand.
Step 2
Rub the palms of your hands together to evenly distribute the beard oil and warm it up.
Step 3
Massage the oil into your beard, starting at the base and working your way to the tips.
Pro-Tips
Don’t forget the skin underneath—that’s where the magic happens.
Use your fingertips to rub it in.
For longer beards, use a beard comb or brush to evenly distribute the oil and shape your beard.

5. Why Beard Oil Matters
Beard oil isn’t just about looking good—though it certainly helps with that. Here are some benefits of using beard oil aside from boosting your attractiveness:
- Prevents itch and flaking (aka beardruff)
- Softens rough, wiry hair
- Promotes healthy growth
- Moisturises the skin beneath
- Helps your beard smell fantastic
TLDR; It’s part of a daily ritual that separates legends from neckbeards.

Beard Oil FAQ
What’s the difference between beard oil and beard balm?
Beard oil hydrates and nourishes the hair and skin, while beard balm adds light hold and locks in moisture. Oil is for hydration; balm is for styling and sealing.
Can I use beard oil if I have sensitive skin?
Yes—just make sure you're using a natural, fragrance-safe oil like Rugged Beard Oil. It's formulated without harsh chemicals and is gentle enough for daily use.
When will I see results from using beard oil?
Most guys notice softer hair and less itch within a few days. With consistent use, improvements in fullness, health, and manageability show within 1–2 weeks.
Can I use beard oil on a wet beard?
Use beard oil on a damp beard—not dripping wet. After your shower, pat your beard gently with a towel, then apply the oil for maximum absorption.
Is Rugged Beard Oil suitable for all beard types?
Absolutely. Whether you’ve got stubble, a medium beard, or a full face mane, Rugged Beard Oil is designed to work on all beard lengths and textures.
