I have been growing a beard for several months now and have started thinking about care. I see both oil and balm in stores, but I don’t quite understand the difference between them and whether I should use both products at the same time? I would like to figure out what is better to choose at the initial stage.
In fact, both products have their own functions. Beard oil is intended primarily for moisturizing both the beard itself and the skin under it beard balm vs oil helps to avoid itching, dryness and makes the hair soft. This is a basic product for any bearded man. Balm, in turn, has a thicker consistency - usually based on wax or shea butter - and in addition to moisturizing, it provides light fixation. This is very convenient if you want to style your beard or prevent it from "fluttering" during the day. The site describes in detail in which cases it is better to use each of the products, which are options in composition, and even how to apply it correctly so as not to overload the beard. In short - oil is needed for care and nutrition, and if you also want shape control - then connect the balm. It is worth reading the full article for a deeper understanding.
