Why You Should Be Using Beard Oil

By Jon Roth

Just because you’re growing a beard doesn’t mean your look is no-maintenance. Besides a good trimmer—or regular trips to the barber—you should invest in a nourishing beard oil to soften the hair, add shine, and hydrate the skin beneath to avoid itchiness and flakes. In a flooded market, the oft-bearded Tom Ford now has his own collection of oils in three signature scents (piney Neroli Portofino, sweet Tobacco Vanille, and musky Oud Wood), further proof that facial hair has gone from hipster to high-end. $50; tomford.com
