Thanks to beard oils, maintaining a good-looking beard is a breeze. Oh, and don’t be shy about oiling up the hair “down there!” Grooming doesn’t end at the neck after all.
Here are five beard oils that smell super and work wonders. Beards are big these days, so make yours worthy of holding your chin up.

Want to make your beard feel, look, and smell nice? How ’bout some citrus and spice? Mountaineer Brand Beard Oil – Citrus & Spice is scented with hints of orange and grapefruit and a dash of warm clove to balance it out. This oil is all-natural and absorbs in a snap, leaving your beard super-soft, shiny, and even pampers the skin beneath. Grapeseed oil is a main ingredient, proven beneficial for hair. According toLivestrong, “Grapeseed oil is an effective natural hair moisturizer and conditioner (and will) leave you with stronger, healthier, more attractive hair.” If citrus and spice isn’t your go-to scent, try their “barefoot” (unscented), or one of their other three scents for variety. Your beard will be better than ever; you’ll want to scream it from the mountaintops!
