BY LAUREN FOR YOUR BEARD

Valentines day has come and gone...and I made beard oil.

My lovely husband has a lovely lush beard & I figured

why not get it to its full potential.

Everyone knows how good essential oils are for the skin and hair

so I decided to DIY some beard oil.

I wish I could try it out...but you'll just have to take CJ's word for it.

Things you'll need:

100 drops of Almond Oil
10 drops of Oakmoss Oil
5 drops of Rosewood Oil
5 drops of Cedarwood Oil
5 drops of Lavender Oil
5 drops of Tea Tree Oil
Dropper
10ml Empty bottles

Before you go and buy these essential oils, let me tell you the
benefits of each oil.

OAKMOSS: antiseptic to prevent infections in open cuts and wounds; it has anti-inflammatory qualities that aid in soothing swollen spots on the body. 

ROSEWOOD: to relieve stress, and to rekindle the spirit and the mind. It is also known to relieve headaches. It is claimed that the oil increases sexual desire...perfect for Valentines day.

CEDARWOOD: cures Seborrhea or Seborrhea Eczema and reduces peeling of the skin.

LAVENDER: common skin conditions, including but not limited to acne, bruising bug bites and burns.

ALMOND: Soothes skin irritation and inflammation, relieves dry and itching skin, nourishes hair and smoothes hair cuticles, makes hair long, strong and thick.

TEA TREE: An antiseptic to be used on cuts, fights acne, oily skin & itchy skin.

Now to begin the easiest DIY project EVER!!!

Start with your carrier oil (base), Almond.

Place 100 drops, in your bottle... the majority of the beard oil should be 

your carrier oil, its used to dilute the essential oils before they are applied to the skin.

Now add all the other oils to the bottle.

Let the oil sit for a couple of days, shaking the bottle every so often.

Add your own label to make it look REAL good.

AND THATS ALL!!!

NOTE FROM CJ:

I don't actually have a lovely lush beard, but I hope to one day.  Today was day one of using it and so far so good.  My beard hasn't taken over my face yet, but i'll keep you updated.

*UPDATE*
CJ must cuddle real hard with our dogs because they smell like beard oil.
Maybe their coats will benefit too?
