Facial hair doesn’t always grow out evenly, so trim it every now and then. Lots of guys stop growing out facial hair and start shaving because it gets itchy. If a beard is what you want, fight through the itch with the help of doTERRA essential oils.

 

 

To keep your beard soft and shiny, it is important you use essential oils to condition the beard and keep up its shine. Steps to a soft and shiny beard

1. Apply beard oil once per day

2. Pour a few drops of essential oils into your hands.

3. Work the oils through your beard until you’ve reached the hair tips, making sure that you evenly spread the oil over your beard and the underlying skin.

 

 

Make sure and wash your beard a few times a week. Don’t even think of using bar soap. You’ll dry out your beard and the skin underneath. Instead, use shampoo. Make sure to follow up with some essential oils after your beard is dry. Trimming your beard every two months is recommended to maintain a healthy beard. Shaving your neck and around your beard will keep you looking fresh.

Wet Your Beard Thoroughly

Hair absorbs water, especially warm water. After several minutes your hair becomes weaker, which is better for shaving. Showering before shaving is the best way to ensure your beard is properly moistened. This will also help

your razor blade last longer. If a shower is not possible, rinse your face, then apply a warm moistened towel for at least a couple of minutes.

 

 

The main purpose of shaving cream is to lubricate your face so that the razor will glide easily and smoothly. The best scenario is to leave the shaving cream on your face for at least a minute before you begin cutting, so that the beard is as soft as possible. We recommend using a shaving brush, because it helps create a rich, creamy lather with the shaving cream that stays close to the skin. It also exfoliates, which reduces the chance of blemishes and

razor bumps. Apply the shaving cream in a circular motion ending in an upward stroke to help lift the hair up and away from the face.

 

 

Always use a good quality, sharp razor blade. A dull blade is harmful to the skin and is an underlying factor to razor burn and shaving rash. Make sure your razor is up to date. When shaving, always make sure to shave with the grain. Start with the sides, then the mustache area, and last the chin. The chin hairs are the toughest, so this

allows them the most time to soften under the shaving cream. Rinse your blade under hot water before you begin to shave and after every few passes.

 

 

Once finished, when the skin is most vulnerable, rinse the face with warm water and apply HD Clear® to cleanse the pores. After, pat dry with a clean towel. Make sure not to rub, just pat.

 

 

Due to the irritating nature of shaving, it is important to always follow up with an aftershave lotion. The ingredients in Razor Relief Serum are great for most skin types. It is important to find an aftershave that works with you. Experiment with doTERRA essential oils to find your own serum.
