How do you grow a beard?

While beards have become an essential part of a man's look, they also require special daily care. What's more, a good beard isn't for everyone: it's not abundant or regular, and often resists growth. So how do you grow a beard effectively and naturally?

You can grow a beard by stimulating the epidermis. The first step is to take good care of your skin. Keep it clean, by cleansing it morning and night with a mild gel, and exfoliating it once a week. Clean skin allows small hairs to grow, while getting rid of dead skin stimulates the growth of hairs that would not have grown if they had been obstructed. These simple gestures of daily hygiene therefore limit the irregularity of beard growth, which can sometimes have "holes" or be sparse.

Stimulating beard growth may also require the use of certain products. While some people recommend taking vitamins and dietary supplements, we're going to take a closer look at the beneficial effects of essential plant oils, which can stimulate beard growth in a way that's both effective and natural.
If your beard isn't growing fast enough for your taste, or if it's growing unevenly across your face, certain oils can be applied to correct these shortcomings. To be fully effective, however, they must be used in conjunction with the advice given above.

Vegetable oils particularly recommended for beard growth are mustard and castor oil. Atlas Cedar essential oil also provides beneficial stimulation to the beard when applied, mixed with other suitable natural products. Oils can indeed be used, but only in the right quantities and with the right mixtures. For example, you can massage a dab of the following mixture into your beard in the morning and evening

• 2 teaspoons mustard vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon castor oil
• 1 drop Bay St Thomas essential oil
• 1 drop black pepper essential oil
• 1 drop Atlas Cedar essential oil

Rosemary cineole essential oil is also a good product for beard growth, which will be stimulated by regular application of these natural concentrates and benefit from their active ingredients.

So, to grow your beard, it's both necessary to maintain it regularly and conscientiously, and to use plant and/or essential oils to stimulate its growth. Skin and beard hygiene is therefore a prerequisite for the use of natural products which, while very powerful, will not be effective on dry or damaged skin.

So follow the care advice above, apply the right oils in the right doses and mix as indicated, and your beard will not only grow abundantly and evenly, but will also become smooth, soft and beautiful!
