The Ultimate Guide to Beard Care: Cream, Butter, and Oil
Growing a beard is only half the battle—keeping it healthy, soft, and manageable is the real challenge. Whether you’re sporting a short, tidy beard or embracing a full, glorious mane, proper beard care is essential. Fortunately, with the right products, maintaining a soft, healthy beard is easy. In this post, we'll explore three essential beard care products: beard cream, beard butter, and beard oil, and how to use them to keep your beard looking its best.
1. Beard Cream: Moisture and Hold in One
EA Magic Beard cream is a versatile product that not only moisturizes but also helps to shape and style your beard. It’s a must-have if you want to keep your beard looking neat throughout the day without the stiffness of heavy styling products.
Why use it? Our beard cream is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it perfect for daily use. It hydrates both the beard and the skin beneath, preventing dryness and itchiness. Additionally, it provides a light hold, taming stray hairs while keeping the beard soft and touchable.
How to use it: After washing your beard, towel-dry it and apply a dime-sized amount of beard cream. Rub it between your hands and work it through your beard, focusing on areas that need taming. For longer beards, use a beard comb to distribute the product evenly. You can apply it daily or whenever your beard feels dry or unruly.
2. Beard Butter: Deep Conditioning and Softness
EA Beard butter is all about deep conditioning. Its rich, creamy texture makes it ideal for nourishing your beard, especially if you have thick or coarse hair. Unlike our Magic Beard Cream, which focuses on light hold, EA Beard Butter primarily aims to moisturize and soften.
Why use it? EA Beard butter is packed with ingredients like coconut and jojoba oils and shea butter to provide long-lasting moisture. It helps to eliminate beard dandruff (also known as “beardruff”), reduces split ends, and leaves your beard feeling incredibly soft. If you want a more conditioned, softer beard, EA Beard Butter is your go-to product.
How to use it: EA Beard Butter works best when applied after showering, while your beard is still slightly damp. Take a small amount, rub it between your hands, and massage it into your beard and skin. The oils will lock in moisture, while the butters condition the hair. For thicker or longer beards, you can use a bit more to ensure complete coverage.
3. Beard Oil: Hydration and Shine
EA Beard Oil is the cornerstone of any beard care routine. It hydrates and nourishes both the beard and the skin underneath, reducing irritation, dryness, and itchiness. Plus, it adds a healthy, natural shine to your beard, making it look well-groomed.
Why use it? EA Beard Oil is particularly effective for keeping the skin beneath the beard moisturized, which is often neglected. Without proper care, the skin can become dry, leading to itchiness and flakiness. The lightweight oils in beard oil penetrate the hair and skin, making your beard soft, shiny, and manageable.
How to use it: A little EA Beard Oil goes a long way. Apply a few drops to your hands, rub them together, and massage the oil into your beard and skin. Make sure to reach the roots of your beard, as this is where the skin benefits the most. For longer beards, use a comb to distribute the oil evenly. You can use beard oil daily, preferably in the morning after washing your face.
How to Combine Them
For optimal beard care, you can use these three products together. Start with EA Beard Oil to hydrate and soften the beard, then apply EA Beard Butter for deep conditioning. Finish with EA Magic Beard Cream to tame any stray hairs and give your beard a light hold. This layering method ensures your beard stays soft, nourished, and well-groomed all day long.
