Beard oil or
Balsam? Differences!

 

When such a large
variety of beard care products, it is sometimes difficult to make a final
decision. Especially if you are not familiar with the similarities and
differences between two products that perform the same function.

 

Since both oil and
balsam moisturize the beard and the skin below which product is best suited?

 

Although the
answer to this question is very different from your personal preferences, there
are certain aspects that depend on you and the product to be taken into
consideration. For example, what type / length beard you have. Another thing to
consider is your skin type. Is your skin dry, normal or very oily? Do you like
beard, which is shiny, or more like a more natural appearance?

 

All these questions
apply when choosing beard balm or oil. If you read this article to the end and
still do not decide what to use – choose a safe path and try both – oil and
balsam. There will never be too much care for your face.

 

BEARD OIL

 

Beard oil is a
classic beard care for a modern bearded man. When you begin to feel itching at
the first stages of beard growth, or the beard dandruff appears due to the sun,
beard oil is the first product to head to your head.

 

If you have a
short or medium beard, beard oil can be a perfect tool for you. Especially if
you have a normal or even oily facial skin. Beard oil is a light irrigation
tool that can be distributed quickly and easily throughout the beard.

 

Beard oil usually
absorbs into beard faster than balsam. In this case, your beard will look less
shiny. For longer beards I would recommend using a beard brush or comb to
distribute oil around the entire beard. Beard oil will provide the softness and
texture that skin moisturizers and conditioners provide.

 

BEARD BALM

 

 

From my personal
experience, I would recommend beard balm of medium length and long beard. Using
beard balm, it stays on your beard and skin longer than oil, creating an
additional moisturizing layer. This will give your beard a long-lasting shine
and will create an impression of a strong and healthy beard.

 

Beard balm is also
great for trying to hold those “stubborn” bearded hairs that do not
like to grow up with others and branch out to various sides. Also, the balsam
can be used as a weak fix for your mustache and stomach.

 

If your beard is
extremely thick and wrinkled, you may need a stronger fixation of balsam.

 

Those who ask if
you can use both the oil and balsam, we will answer YES. Using both tools in
the right quantities can be a great solution for your beard.
