Hi Manny! Why is Oribe’s Gold Lust All Over Oil good for beards?

The Gold Lust All Over Oil provides much-needed nourishment and hydration to beard hairs and the skin underneath. This is significant because properly nourishing your beard is what takes it from just gross face hair to a nicely, manicured beard. Another reason this oil works well for beards because it has rich fatty acids in the formula. The fatty acids really absorb nicely into the hair and provide a lot of moisture. Also, one of the formula’s 17 natural oils in particular, jojoba oil, softens dry, coarse facial hair. I also find the main thing those with beards suffer from is buildup and dry skin underneath the hair and this oil targets those issues specifically with apricot oil.

At what step should men apply Gold Lust All Over Oil when shaving or in their grooming routine?

There are a few different ways to add Gold Lust All Over Oil to your routine. The first way is to add it into your routine before you shave to soften the hair and skin. Use a spray bottle to lightly mist water and then massage Gold Lust All Over Oil into the skin. This preps the skin for shaving and provides enough slip for the blade so shaving doesn’t hurt. Once the hair and skin is prepped, take a razor to outline and detail the beard. Another way is when you get out of the shower, towel dry the beard so there is a little moisture left for added slip. Then, put some drops of Gold Lust All Over Oil between your palms and distribute evenly for a nicely manicured beard.

How often should this product be used?

I believe in daily usage with this product. Every time you cleanse your beard, I recommend applying a few drops of Gold Lust All Over Oil. If you are going out and want to up your look, add the oil. If your beard is looking a little dull, add some oil. Using this on your beard daily will help keep your beard healthy and looking good.
