But in addition it penetrates very well into the skin, which allows it to be deeply hydrated.

The benefits of sesame oil to moisturize the skin, hair and beard hair

​

Like most vegetable oils, sesame oil is recognized for its nourishing benefits and to maintain hydration. Thus, it is an oil that will allow the skin, hair and beard hair to protect itself more effectively from external aggressions.

​

The benefits of sesame oil as an anti-dandruff treatment

​

The benefits of sesame oil are known to act effectively on flaking and dry skin. Desquamation is the loss of the superficial layers of the epidermis, which is why we have dry dandruff. Moreover, many men seek to make disappear dandruff in the beard or in the hair. Flaking is simply related to the fact that the skin is very dry. Thus, by applying sesame oil alone or mixed, you will prevent the appearance of dandruff in the beard and in the hair.

And I could also add against the fall of beard hair too! Not only does sesame oil moisturize the hair (which will make it stronger, healthier), but it also promotes blood micro-circulation in the scalp. And therefore guarantees the good health of the scalp.

​

The benefits of sesame oil for the beard

​

Since sesame oil helps nourish the skin, it will have a direct impact on beard hair. Because well-hydrated skin is also a well-hydrated hair follicle. The hair takes root in the hair follicle. Thus, the hair will also be well hydrated. Which implies a stronger, more robust and thicker coat. Your beard will therefore be fuller. But it also implies a softer coat. Sesame oil is therefore an excellent carrier oil for softening an itchy beard .

How to use sesame oil?

​

Sesame oil can be used alone on the skin or mixed with other oils or cosmetic products (day creams, night creams, shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, etc.).

​

In hair care, you can directly put sesame oil and do a little scalp massage. Do not hesitate to apply sesame oil well over the entire length of your hair, to the ends. You can do the same as a beard mask.
