The benefits of grapeseed oil for the beard

If you are ever looking to make yourself a good homemade beard oil because you want to maintain your beard naturally , I advise you to integrate grapeseed oil. More and more people have grapeseed oil at home because its benefits for the body are recognized. But do you know that grapeseed oil is also excellent for maintaining your beard? It is no coincidence that many beard care brands include it in their formulation. Also, I will explain to you below the many benefits of grapeseed oil for the beard.

​

Ah yes, if you don't have one at home, buy it in an organic store. When making homemade cosmetics, always choose organic products, which will be healthier for your skin. In addition, prefer a grapeseed oil from the first cold pressing, which will be more intact in terms of active ingredients.

Grape seed oil to moisturize the skin

​

Grape seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, including omega 6 and 9. It is also very rich in vitamin E which makes it a very hydrating oil for the skin. And we all know that perfectly hydrated skin is skin that will offer the most beautiful beard possible.

​

• you will avoid beard dandruff , especially dry dandruff which is linked to dry skin,

• you will ensure that the hair follicle is in better condition and therefore the root of the hair in better health.

• your beard will thus grow in the best conditions.

• Hydrated skin is also skin that will be less sensitive to shaving, and therefore you will feel less razor burn.

​ Grapeseed oil to strengthen beard hair

The benefits of grapeseed oil for the beard are recognized in particular to strengthen the hair of the beard, as well as the hair in passing. As it has a strong power of penetration into the hair, it will thus nourish it in depth and perfectly hydrate it. Better hydrated, better nourished beard hair will allow:

​

• to have a stronger, more robust beard, with less brittle beard hair,

• to have a soft beard . If you're looking to soften your itchy beard , grapeseed oil is great.

How to use grapeseed oil for beard

​

Different possibilities are available to you to use grape seed oil for the beard:

​

An oil based on grapeseed oil for the beard

​

You can make your own beard oil with grape seed oil you have at home! To do this :

• or you apply your grapeseed oil directly to the beard. Put a small amount anyway so that it is not too shiny.

• or you mix it with another oil to make a homemade beard oil. I did an article on what vegetable oils to use to make homemade beard oil .

​

A mask based on grapeseed oil for the beard

​

Another beard treatment you can do with grapeseed oil is a mask. The beard mask can indeed be an excellent complement to the beard oil applied daily, especially if you have a dry beard . To make a mask, it's very simple :

​

• apply grapeseed oil directly to your beard in large quantities.

• leave on for about 15 - 20 minutes, before rinsing (using a beard shampoo to remove it perfectly).

• I advise you to apply a hot towel to open the scales of your beard hair. So that the grapeseed oil penetrates deep into the beard.

​

A grapeseed oil scrub for the beard

​

Finally, the last care you can do with grapeseed oil on the beard is a beard scrub . The beard scrub is a very important treatment to do to clean your beard in depth, namely:

• to remove dead skin cells under the beard and thus prevent beard dandruff,

• to remove excess oil that may be on the skin and beard hair, resulting in a shiny beard,

• to activate the blood circulation and thus to have a beautiful beard , with a hair that grows perfectly.

To make a homemade beard scrub, nothing could be simpler:

​

• mix grapeseed oil with powdered sugar or coffee grounds

• apply the mixture to the beard and massage in circular motions for 2 to 5 minutes 

• rinse afterwards.
