homemade beard oil

last month,

when my bearded brother jon was here,

we made beard oil.

what's that, you say?

what the heck is beard oil, and how does it work?

well...  here's a little huffpost article titled

what the heck is beard oil, and how does it work?

that might help.

here are the two recipes we created

for their aroma & therapeutic properties:

we used these labels.

'that smells nice' & 'that smells better'

on one side of each bottle {since we made two},

and 'beard oil' on the other.

here's a little how-to video

keep those beards {and the skin beneath them} conditioned & smelling nice.

check out the oils i use here.
