DIY Coffee and Coconut Oil Beard Oil Recipe

With the cold weather on its way, it's time to start talking about how to keep your skin and hair well-nourished during winter. One of the best ways you can do this is with a homemade coffee and coconut oil beard oil recipe! This is an easy DIY project that will leave your skin and hair feeling hydrated and healthy. The ingredients are simple - coffee beans (ground) and coconut oil. You could just use these two ingredients or add an extra ingredient like lavender for scent.

Instructions: Keep in mind that this is a very simple DIY project. For the coffee grounds and coconut oil, you can use whatever measurements you like. I used about a teaspoon of coffee grounds and two tablespoons of coconut oil for my recipe.

1
First, mix the ingredients in a small glass bowl or jar.
2
Next, apply the mixture to your skin and massage in circular motions for a few minutes before washing off with lukewarm water.
3
Last, coat your beard and hair with the mixture before allowing to dry naturally or blow-drying on a low setting.

Benefits: The coconut oil will keep your facial hair hydrated without feeling greasy like other oils. The coffee grounds will help with hair growth and provide a gentle exfoliation for your skin when mixed into the coconut oil mixture.

The best part about this DIY project is that all the ingredients are items you probably already have in your kitchen.

This beard oil will leave your skin and hair nourished all winter long!

8 drops of grapefruit essential oil (again, make sure it is 100% pure)
5 oz amber or blue glass bottle with dropper top. You can find these at most health food stores or pharmacies.

This recipe is so easy to make, but you have to be precise with your measurements.

First, add the coconut oil into a pot and place it on medium heat until the coconut oil liquefies and starts to bubble.

Stir with a spoon or whisk (whisking is best) while the mixture heats up.

Pour the mixture into your glass bottle and put a dropper top on it.
5
Let cool to room temperature before putting the dropper top on.

Instructions for use:

Apply to beard as needed. You can apply it with the dropper top or a cotton swab.
Don't leave the dropper top on for longer than 15 seconds. This will make your beard oily and greasy.
Make sure the dropper top is closed tightly after each use.
Do not apply too close to your nose or mouth (your beard might start to itch).
If you have any skin irritations or worries, consult your doctor before using beard oil.

Add two teaspoons of cedarwood oil and one teaspoon of rosemary essential oil to the bowl, then stir until fully dissolved. (Note: You might need more or less depending on how strong you want your fragrance to be).

Carefully pour melted mixture into a container with an opening wide enough for application, such as a small glass jar.

Let cool for about 15 minutes before use and enjoy!

Instructions to make basic Beard Grooming Kit:

1
Fill the container you have chosen with a small amount of beeswax and shea butter. If desired, add essential oils for fragrance. Allow mixture to set on low heat until it becomes solid again (around ten minutes). You will know when this has happened because your jar or container will feel noticeably heavier.

Pour the melted mixture into a new empty jar or container of your choice, one that has been thoroughly cleaned and dried beforehand with rubbing alcohol to remove any residue from previous products.

Tips for Making and Using Beard Oil At Home

Beard oils are all about beard conditioning to make your beard more manageable and soft. Beard oil recipes typically include jojoba or almond oil, coconut oil for a lighter scent, essential oils like lavender or peppermint, vitamin E capsules and arnica extract which is the herb most often associated with reducing inflammation of skin tissues.

The ingredients can be mixed together in any proportions you want but some beard experts may recommend adding a carrier base such as grapeseed before using any other ingredient so that they don't create an unpleasant odor. Some people use beeswax instead of carnauba wax because it's cheaper while others find that applying beard balm over their beard makes it too stiff - this really just depends on personal preference.
When you're ready to start beard oiling your beard, take a small amount in the palm of your hand or spoon and rub it between both hands. Apply generously from root to tip on a dry beard for best results and massage into skin and hair follicles for even distribution.
Beard oils typically last six months but this will depend largely on how often it's used, the ingredients used, and storage conditions (keeping out of sunlight). Keep in mind that beard oils can be made at home with just a few supplies - some things you may need are jojoba or almond oil, coconut oil for lighter scent such as lavender or peppermint essential oils like arnica extract if desired which is also good for reducing inflammation of skin tissue.
When beard oiling, it's important to apply generously from root to tip on a dry beard for best results. Massage into the skin and hair follicles for even distribution before you head out the door.

Some Additional DIY Beard Oil Tips

Make sure you use 100% pure essential oils. This will ensure that the oil is safe for your skin and smells as good as possible.
If you have any skin irritations or worries, consult your doctor before using beard oil.
Beard oil is great for skin and beard health, but it can also act as a moisturizer.
Don't leave your dropper top on for longer than 15 seconds.

As with any product or recipe that includes essential oils, always do a patch test before applying beard oil every day. This is especially true if you have sensitive skin or plan to be in direct sunlight after application as these can all cause adverse reactions such as irritation and sunburns so make sure your beard is adequately protected when using an essential oil beard oil recipe at home!
