Pros And Cons of Rosemary Oil For Beard

Rosemary oil is a great product for boosting the growth and overall health of your beard and is also beneficial for the skin underneath it. It is really considered as a multipurpose oil which can work like a miracle.

It is moisturizing and soothing, so in addition to the beard, you can use it for dry hair or dry scalp as well. You can also use it if you notice any itching or irritation on your scalp and you will see the results almost immediately.

In addition, it can help to reduce some problematic scalp and hair-loss conditions such as alopecia which leads to baldness, and can prevent hair aging.

When it comes to beards, rosemary oil acts as a moisturizer as well as a protector and it promotes healthy and strong growth of the beard, making it shine with greater intensity of brightness.

To obtain this precious oil, a technique called distillation is used through which the compounds and properties of rosemary are obtained.

As an essential oil, rosemary oil is very concentrated so you should also keep in mind that it can have some negative effects if it is used in excess. We will explain all that further on in this article.

Benefits of rosemary oil for the beard

What we men look for in beard oils is that our facial hair grows faster, and it is a well known fact that the rate of hair growth varies depending on the individual.

For some men, beards can grow faster than others and there are also men who cannot grow a full beard.

If you have difficulty growing a beard and you want your beard to grow faster, I recommend the use of rosemary oil because it helps to accelerate the growth of hair from the root.

Its main benefits are:

Rosemary oil is an essential oil that stimulates beard growth. It is 100% natural and you can use it directly on the beard, or combine it with other beard oils.
Rosemary is a herb, and its oil is readily available in the market. It is considered very effective for the faster growth of facial hair.
In addition to stimulating hair growth, rosemary oil also slows the aging of facial hair and treats conditions like dry beard which often produces dandruff on the beard.
Rosemary oil can reduce itching and it conditions hair to look shiny and well-groomed.
The application of rosemary oil is easy. Rub the oil in the palms and gently massage the beard and skin with it.
Rosemary oil is absorbed quickly and does not feel greasy.

How to apply rosemary oil for beard growth

To improve the absorption of this oil in the beard, I recommend following these three steps.

First, I recommend taking a good shower to clean the face from the impurities. After the shower, apply the oil on your fingertips and give a gentle massage to your beard.
With your fingers completely oiled with the essential oil of rosemary, massage in circles, reaching the routes of the hair and skin under the beard.
Gently rub the face. This will provide hydration to the epidermis and the follicles that are the basis of the facial beauty.

Side Effects of Rosemary Oil

Earlier I have mentioned that rosemary oil can have negative consequences for your skin and beard. Of course, the problem lies in the dose, so it is best to know how much of this oil to use and when.

It is not recommended to use rosemary oil on the following occasions:

Hypertensive, very stressed or nervous people.
During breast feeding or pregnancy.
Apply this oil mixed with a carrier oil or a beard oil especially if your skin is very sensitive. If you have sensitive skin, I would recommend using almond oil. Remember that rosemary oil is very intense and could cause minor redness of the skin but that would not last long.
Keep out of reach of children and do not ingest.

How to dilute rosemary oil to avoid negative side effects

To avoid the negative side effects of rosemary oil, you must dilute it with carrier oils, because rosemary individually can be strong and people with sensitive skin can develop skin reactions.

You can dilute the rosemary in a carrier oil in the following way:

Mix a drop of rosemary oil with 15 drops of olive oil or you can also use grape seed oil or almond oil. This will also improve its properties.
Mix well until the two oils are fully incorporated.
Apply the mixture as explained above.

In this way, you will avoid the possible negative side effects of rosemary oil and you will be able to enjoy all its benefits for your beard and skin.
