Here is another situation “My Situation “: if you are a practicing Muslim which means you need to pray 5 times a day . Part of that process i need to make ablution “ wash before pray “ which includes washing the face . Now because of that i do i take this as an opportunity to apply beard oil because as you said the beard absorbs the oils better . So it goes like this : early the the morning is the highest amount of oil and styling afterwards with Balm . Mid-day & Afternoon adjustment with small amount of oil . After sunset i skip putting oil most of the times because i still feel there is a good amount in my beard . At night is the bed routine where is goes to oil and butter .
I’m same oil only in morning, both oil and butter at night after shower. But I hop in shower in the AM and do a water rinse of beard before applying that morning oil. If I apply morning oil without rinsing butter out beard just feels weird and I don’t like it
Similar here. I shower before bed. I oil after the shower during summer. I add butter to the routine in the dry Canadian winters. Then in the morning oil and either balm or butter. In the summer I ditch the butter for the night time after shower.
Once in the morning after a shower, and once in the evening. i have been using a warm towel to get my beard wet, and it really helps. Plus it makes my face clean and ready for bed. Thanks Dan!
I apply beard oil in the morning after my shower. If i have had a busy day I sometimes do a midday routine like you described and get my beard wet, towel dry and apply for oil. I sometimes just enjoy doing this to get a boost in the scented oil I’m using as well. Great video Dan!
I rinse with cold water in the morning then apply oil before work. 2nd application of oil after showering when I get home from work. I use beard butter before bed. My beard is 75% gray and I work outside for my job. Thanks Dan C for all of your help...this is the nicest beard I've ever grown!
This is great for new beardsmen from zero to 60 days of growth. Would you ever create playlists separated by timeline? Like a curriculum or lesson plan, what are the essentials for the first "semester"?
Great vid dude! You have converted me as a newbie product user....used to just use butter in the morning. Now its oil first and always.. Butter if I need a mild hold...going out, and overnight. Trusted Teacher!
I find twice a day for me is good. If I do too much in the morning I will look greasy and feel gross, but then by the time the evening hits I like to wash my face and reapply. After joining this channel I’m really interested in trying the butter at night instead. Seems like a good routine
I shower in the morning (finish with a cold rinse - REFRESHING!) then dry it to about 75% dry, oil, wait 5 minutes, and style. A spritz with the spray bottle and butter before bed and my beard has never felt better! If I hit the beach or pool I'll do a second shower and oil again just to keep it in good shape.
Morning shower, scrub up good, comb and brush out, oil up, comb and brush through - most days that's it. I am in education as well and do have to wear a mask as I enter the building, when I'm speaking face to face with someone, or when I'm in the halls. I live in the Desert Southwest and our average humidity is usually sub 30%. (High mountain desert though, still get's very cold and we get the nice occasional snowfall.) When I first started using oil I did use first thing in the morning after my shower and then right before bed. But eventually things got "hydrated" enough. (I'm pretty good about staying hydrated because of the overall health benefits.)
Thank you for the video. I normally only apply beard oil once a day in the morning, then butter for the day. Just before bed I apply butter for overnight. That seems to work best for my beard.
I work nights Monday-Thursday and have my son on the weekends, he does not work nights, so on top of trashed circadian rhythms, I have a pretty sporadic schedule, and a very thirsty beard despite drinking a minimum of a gallon of water a day, so my routine is typically as follows: I get home from work, take off my dirty clothes and make something to eat, if I slacked on my hydration towards the end of work, I take about 30 minutes to rehydrate after eating, take a shower, wash usually without conditioner on the weekdays and once on the weekends, then oil, plenty of love with fingers and tools, then after about 15 minutes I use butter, then more multi directional combing and then bed. I usually wake up much earlier than I need to, so I usually take a while to get ready, sometimes I shower again from sweat and I will just rinse my beard. More oil, and usually nothing else. If it is a thinner oil I will usually bring it with me and reapply around my break. I usually use a thicker oil like Beards Dignified for work so I don't have to reapply and I still have scent and good feeling beard until I get home and start it over again!
I many times apply oil twice per day. I get up, wash my face and rinse my beard real good to get out he night time butter and apply oil. Almost every day I do activities that make me sweat,Pickleball for hours for example, bike and hike. Then I shower at some point in the evening and apply oil again and then butter before bed.
Been using bearded coast, thank you for that review it changed my oil type. I oil 2 times a day. Once in the AM I rinse with warm water light dry and oil, a little more than I should. Because, I wear a mask at work and I also work with fried food so it dries my face hairs out big time. Then again after I shower after work really hot rinse most days and a light oiling. Every 3 to 4 days wash it using beardbrand unscented. . I'll be using butter soon waiting for another order from Bearded Coast. Keep up the great work Dan. Love ya my bearded brother.
I only apply beard oil after showering. If I feel like I need something after work/after wearing a mask for a while, I wet my beard with a spray bottle and apply some beard butter. Great video Dan!
I'm a metal fabricator by trade. Hot, sweaty, and filthy all day at work, lol. I shower when I get home. The beard gets either a wash or a rinse daily with beard oil after. I also apply oil in as part of my morning routine. Sometimes during the hot months I require multiple showers a day. In those cases I'll switch the routine around a bit because I don't like to apply oil more than twice a day.
I shower at night. It makes styling a little more difficult but right now life demands nighttime showers. Hence, oil by night; butter by day. Sometimes a little oil in the day if things be dry.
I started stashing beard oil in my work locker a few months back. Between having to switch out facemasks a few times during a shift and wearing a hair bouffant over the beard, I found myself in desparate need of some oil reapplication around mid day. Like you said, gotta listen to what your beard tells ya. Watching this definitely reassured me that I was making the right call 👍🏻
As a paramedic in an ER I’ve been putting a really thin layer of beard butter on the inside of my mask. It does tend to cause a little bit of oiliness where the mask sits but seems to keep my beard from developing that hay feeling after 8-12 hours straight of wearing a mask. Plus the scent covers up the smell during a code brown situation.
Oil & balm in the morning, post shower. Normally a 2nd, lesser application of oil late afternoon- sometimes admittedly just for a “scent recharge” (because I can be a junkie for some of those incredible aromas! In those cases it is normally just a few drops, not the nickel size amount my beard drinks in the morning). Then cold wash and butter at night.
I work night shift in a dirty environment, so I shower in the AM before bed and apply oil... I hit the gym after waking up and then shower again prior to work that night so I apply oil after that shower as well... I may or may not apply oil upon waking in the afternoon if my face feels dry... I’m still in the beginning stages of growth but figured the more nutrients I can get to the skin early on, the better...
2x a day. Oil and butter in AM after rinsing my beard in the sink. Oil and butter again in the PM after a rinse in the shower (or after washing my beard). For the most part, I only briefly wear my mask at work as I have my own working space.
I apply oil twice a day, wash face and beard in morning then dry a wee bit, apply oil and have a good comb through and that’s me set up for the day at work. In the evening after my shower I oil and sometimes butter an hour after so the oil has a good chance to sock in to my skin and beard. 👍🏻
I always apply in the morning, after my shower. Many times, I will apply oil after work. I work at a sand and gravel pit. We are outside much of the day in the wind, sun, rain, ect and it usually feels dry by the end of the work day. Wind and sand dry everything out! I use butter before bed.
I’m a night time shower guy. Oil and butter and heat (always low heat for my thinner graying beard!). Morning I spray bottle water to rinse butter out then oil only. I’ve tried not to use balms for styling because they often make my beard look thinner however, I’ve been experimenting some with a small amount of butter then hair dryer to style in the mornings. The last few times I’ve done this have been good for me. I’ve used way too much products in the past and the result was pimples.
Twice a day, is how many times I use it. Once in the morning and once at night. Both with butter. Love the results. Since you did the video on not to rub the conditioner into the skin, I've had no beard pimples. Thanks again, Teach!
Never really felt the need to apply more product throughout my day. I could see some jobs calling for the occasional secondary application. I feel some also apply a 2nd coat for maybe more of that "smell good" and they could simply also just add butter. Been a minute and wanted to help out that video push!!!!!! 👊
Dan, After morning shower apply beard oil comb through then apply Beard butter comb through . Blow dry with Wet brush. Done. Wife is sensitive to heavy scents so I try to avoid applying product before bed.-Pete
oil in the morning after a rinse. oil and butter at night after a shower. sometimes ill do a rinse and more oil in the middle of the day if I have been sweating a lot or getting dirty
I apply beard oil 2 times per day, with around 3 drops in the morning after a shower and 3 drops at night before I sleep. In the morning, I also use beard balm.
I apply once in the morning, and once at night with butter. If it’s a really rough day (mask, elements, dry day outside, etc.) sometimes midday with straight jojoba mixed 50/50 with a scented oil just to freshen up after work.
I use beard oil 2-4 times a day, i also wash my beard 3-4 times a week. Lately I've been washing daily with water only, and try 2-3 times a week with beard wash. My beard is itchy, dry, red and sore, also hurts to touch my skin underneath on some areas, sometimes pimples. I think I've tried 20 different beard oils, nothing seem to change much. Some oils seems to surprise me and give me a good result and then they don't. I also use beard conditioner sometimes, not everytime i wash it. Other times after washing i change beard oil with lotions from la roche posay, but I can't tell what works or not, lotions make ur beard sticky and not feeling newly washed, if you compare it with using oil instead. I've also struggled with beardruff for ages, it gets better sometimes, but then it returns, but i also change a lot of products. What I've been trying to research and never found the answer to, is if you compare a beard shampoo with a very gentle hair shampoo or dandruff gentle shampoo found in pharmacy, could anyone tell me what is the best? Will beard shampoo always be the most gentle, even if you buy one of the most gentle hair shampoo? To mention some products its either vichy, la roche posay, ACO, right now im using Daxxin, one for dandruff. I've also used fungoral and selukos/selsun for seborrheic dermatitis, let's just say that after 3 years, I'm still struggling, but I don't give up, because i love my beard. I'd highly appreciate if anyone has any advise for me! Great video btw, lots of good tips :D
Absolutely stop using lotion! Good quality beard oil will not cause any of the problems you are mentioning, unless you are using too much. Stick with beard products on your face: beard oil, wash, conditioner, and butter.
@@DanCBearded I see, lotion will not touch my beard skin again! I've tried butter before, ended up with fungu in my beard, seems like my skin react very bad to shea butter, very sensitive skin. Had to remove my beard after going on treatment through a specialist for a year, cause i could't get rid of the issues, but I'll keep trying to find the best products for my beard in the future, hopefully something works in the end! Ty for the tip!
Usually in the morning comb through and use oil, I do find after wearing a mask I need to re apply later that day, I use a face cloth dipped in hot water and then let that sit on my beard before re applying later that day. Hot water really helps my beard soften up and absorb the moisture and oil
I apply oil 3-5 times a day in a controlled situation. I live in the dry southern Utah weather with no humidity. Ive always figured as long as im not getting acne its ok for my beard.
I have a gray beard. I rinse it in the morning then I use beard oil. I shower in the evening and cowash or wash my beard. After the shower I use oil and beard beard butter before bed, anything less and my beard gets brittle. ( I drink at least 96 ounces of water a day). Great video as usual.
Yep, I concur and where did I get the information for beard care? Right here on Dan C Bearded's UA-cam Channel and haven't been steered wrong yet. Dan has given me a baseline to start from and then I was able to figure out what is best for my beard. The most important piece of advice is listen to your beard and then figure out what is right for your beard.
Always great advice my bearded friend! I always apply oil after every shower, also oil & beard butter (about 5mins after that, thanks to your advice once again!) before going to bed... Although I typically completely dry my beard before I apply. I'm guessing best results while damp? Still learning this grooming game! hehe. Thank you so much, Dan and have a blessed day! :)
Rinse or dampen my beard first thing in the morning. Oil and comb it through. Hair dryer on low warm to dry my beard and help work the oil throughout my beard. Evening routine, rinse, oil lightly, dry, beard butter for the night.
I shower twice a day (on work days) before and after work, with the second shower using a beard wash. I apply oil and style after both showers . Then butter to a damp beard at night before bed
I work remotely from home, so I apply oil after my morning shower. That's all I need for the day, and I use beard butter before bed at night. Great video!
Thanks to your previous advice on one of my comments, I now shower when I get home from work(healthcare worker who wears an N95 mask a lot) and I put a little beard oil and then butter in my beard before I go to bed, then when I wake up and shower, I just use beard oil before work.
I workout every morning during the week, so after my shower I apply oil. During the colder months the dry air usually means that I will more oil in the evening as well.
As a stay at home dad, I only apply beard oil (sometimes balm) once a day. In the evening I'll use a beard butter. This routine seems to work pretty well for me.
Being since there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not masked, sweaty or both I do oil twice a day. I use about a half dropper in the morning wait 5 minutes and then apply a small amount of butter. In the evening after my shower, I use about a quarter dropper with a medium amount of butter after the 5 minutes. This really works for me and took a while to get it right. Keep up the great work Dan 👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻!
I apply oil after my shower which is usually in the late afternoon. Then I wait about 10 minutes and apply Butter. My beard will absorb that butter in about 4 hours and then get coarse again. So my question is "How Many Times A Day Can You Apply Beard Butter?" - Thanks
Great video! I work out in the morning and have a job where I get fairly sweaty and hate the feeling of going to bed sweaty so I take two showers daily. It's not ideal for my skin or hair but it is what it is. I use oil after both showers and butter after my nighttime shower and find it works pretty well given my situation
I apply 4 drops each morning before leaving for work and when I reach home in the evening, I rinse my beard and apply 4 drops and when its time for bed, I apply 4 drops and I repeat the cycle each day.
I reapply oil,and butter, after work only because i am required to wear a mask trough out the day.i do use an alternative to the spray bottle to moisten my beard. I wet my hands under the faucet, than shake off excess water, which leaves significant amount of wetness to moisten my beard. Thanks always for the videos.
I definitely do oil twice a day due to work and showering. I mostly do butter only at night, but sometimes I use a small amount in the morning with oil in it.
I put oil on in morning and butter 5 mins later depending on what I do that day if I reapply or not but nite time I just use butter Thanks for info D.C.B have a awesome beard day!
I use a dropper full after showering and half that amount in the late afternoon. Adding water in the pm tends to frizz me out. Maybe stepping it up to a full dropper would counter that? Followed your advice on using oil only during the day and butter before bed, it's saving me a lot of product, plus I like the lighter feel. Thanks, Dan 👊
Generally about 2 times. Just a sweaty guy! I recommend trying different carrier blends when you can! I recently switched to a different carrier blend and it’s been AMAZING! I use oil twice a day and butter for my night time routine
Great video. I have noticed now that I have to mask up all 12 hours of my shift my heard drys out faster. Oiling has now become a few times a day throughout my work shift.
I've got uneven sideburns, so I think (based on these comments) I should wet my face first (after washing my hands) and then apply the oil. Thanks man!
I often forget to oil my beard. I used to do it religiously but as it got longer, I’ve fallen out of love with the daily routine. How much damage will it do if I don’t oil daily. I have noticed that I’m losing around a dozen hairs each day. It’s probably more but the long ones are easy to spot. Thank you.
@@DanCBearded Dan, you’re perfectly correct re split ends, I have a few. It doesn’t help not be able to get a trim due on lockdown. Just had a quick shower and put some lavender scented oil on, it’s late evening here in the UK so quite relaxing. Thanks for your awesome videos. Keep up the good work.
In order to pray 5 times a day, I need to wash my face 4 to 5 times. So I have to apply beard oil 2-3 times a day. But after watching this video, I think I am applying it too much because I noticed small pimples underneath the beard.
I apply oil 2 times a day morning and mid day, I work in food so I rinse with hot water and apply oil... Then I do a butter or leave in conditioner before bed
Man, I’m loving these videos . As a Muslim, it is obligatory for us to grow (for those who can grow it ) the beard ( because the Prophet Muhammad commanded us to grow the beard ) and keep it for life.
Awesome video Dan!!! Definitely a question I ask myself from time to time is whether or not I'm using too much oil. I am a face rinser in my bathroom sink first thing in the morning, I apply my Oil for the day, maybe a balm if I'm feeling it. Then I go to work detailing boats and cars, which we dont wear masks all day, but I do use dusty materials like our compounds for buffing aswell as some acidic chemicals from time to time. I also sweat, so before bed every night I'll shower, typically washing my beard, dependent on my day of work, and then re oil and use butter for bed 😁 👊🏼
Hi Dan, have you tried Bromley's Beard oil? Comes in a glass blue dropper bottle 1.9oz and it only costs $4.89 at Kroger or Frys food stores. I'll probably buy a bottle just to see if its any good because its so cheap.
I Use Bromleys Oil It's Very Moisturizing I'm On My Second Bottle From Krogers The Beard Balm Bergamot Lavender Is Real Good Too It's Very Moisturizing Too. It's Some Of The First Beard Oil And Balm I Ever Bought Starting Out Since It Was Cheap. I Love The Smell Of Both. The Peppermint Scruff Cream Conditions Well Too.
I apply once daily after nightly shower. My skin is oily, which may be a factor. After removing my gaiter I smooth my beard into place with the backs of my hands, and my beard feels fine. Since using only oil for some time, I don't care for butter as much as I once did.
@@DanCBearded Thank you. Sometimes hard to tell a routine from a rut. I'm using my old Kent Mini Headhog to curl under the bottom of my beard. Quite different from a coarse- or wide-tooth comb.
I always apply oil after my morning shower. Most of the time I also apply some oil after I get home due to wearing a mask at work and public transport (greetings from Germany), but often times I delay the second oiling until after supper, to not wash out oil in case something gets into the beard.
Sometimes it's good to just come back and watch one of your videos as a sort of "refresher" and because sometimes we might change our routine over time *and not even know it*!! Hey! Video idea???? 😂 There are times when we consciously change something in our routine. We are aware of it, we want to change it, we make a choice. But sometimes, as is the case with me, things change over time and we have no idea we did it! It's not one day, one time, boom, we changed something. It's like that game teachers would have you play as a kid, Telephone, to show you how words can drastically change just by changing tiny words over and over. Kinda the same thing. One day you decide you're going to add a couple more drops of this super thin oil. And you use it for days and days. A couple more drops, day after day, of this thinner oil. Then you change oils. Different brand, same viscosity, so you use the same amount of added drops. But then you go to a different oil, different viscosity, but only slightly thicker. So you use the same amount of drops as with the thinner oil! Eventually you're just using this bigger amount of oil, but you're grabbing Fable or, gulp, Artius Man! 😳 And you sorta just forgot that you made all these little change over time for that thinner oil. You added drops, and maybe you used a different butter that went with the added drops, or maybe you also started applying more of this or that, and eventually you just have to start over with your oils and butter, all because you made these teeny tiny changes along the way and sorta just didn't realize it all!! (Unless that doesn't ever happen to anybody else and I'm the only dummy that does that. In that case, please don't make a video out of it. 😂😂)
I apply after shower in morning then after I either work out later in the day or after moving and cleaning stuff around in my apartment. Or after I got back from the store aka virus 🦠😷hey everyone stay safe out thre it is soooo bad now 🎅🏻🙌🏻 And hope you have a great holiday season 🤗 or at least try to.
Here's a slightly related question, I know you've talked about beard dandruff and that it is important to apply a quality oil regularly in order to address the sebum oil that your beard is "stealing" from your facial skin. However, skin dies, dead skin is a natural thing (dust is mostly dead skin, eww I know) so how can you tell the difference between NATURAL dead skin that gets trapped by the beard and UN-natural dead skin buildup? (whether that unnatural buildup is due to dandruff as a skin condition or from a deficiency that a better beard routine could address)
Question : I don't shower everyday (every other day , especially due to the pandemic) should I be applying beard oil/balm daily regardless? Also how often should I wash my beard? I coincide my beard washing when i trim my beard, which is once a week. I like this cadence because it lets me get a decent build of oil from the other beard oil/bam applications to give my beard a little extra hold and mold-ability. Lastly, this was another great video thanks for all you and the "Dan C Bearded Family" do for us beardos :).
The washing is all situational. If you are not getting dirty or sweaty, washing once a week is fine. I do recommend oil daily. Even if it is just getting the beard wet in the sink
@@steve_and_lolas_hikes I guess nothing, i've just noticed i've made a few changes since the pandemic, one of them being less showers as i'm just at home all day?
Hey Dan, I work with postal services and I’m on the road all day. I apply beard oil in the morning and then balm or butter. I can’t really take any oil or other products with me because I don’t have any chances of washing my hands during work. So what would you suggest, adding beard oil and butter in the morning or balm ? I’m guessing butter because the beard stays hydrated longer. I remember though in a video that you said you only apply beard butter in the evening before bed
Great video trusted teacher! Spot on. I do apply oil twice a day, everyday. My routine really only changes in how much I wash vs. co-wash (winter/dryer/not sweating as much) I wash less and co-wash more. Summer (especially if I'm playing a lot of golf/mowing/swimming--in my world that means floating in the pool with a cigar and cocktail) I'll sometimes do all 3 (wash/co-wash and oil) twice a day because I'm showering twice a day.
Here is another situation “My Situation “: if you are a practicing Muslim which means you need to pray 5 times a day . Part of that process i need to make ablution “ wash before pray “ which includes washing the face .
Now because of that i do i take this as an opportunity to apply beard oil because as you said the beard absorbs the oils better .
So it goes like this : early the the morning is the highest amount of oil and styling afterwards with Balm . Mid-day & Afternoon adjustment with small amount of oil . After sunset i skip putting oil most of the times because i still feel there is a good amount in my beard . At night is the bed routine where is goes to oil and butter .
Very cool! I love the perspective and a different situation. Thank you for sharing!
Allhamdullilah
I apply oil and butter in the evening after my shower, then oil again in the morning before work.
I am the exact same way 👊🏼
Same here!
That's perfect!+

I apply beard oil in the morning after my shower. If i have had a busy day I sometimes do a midday routine like you described and get my beard wet, towel dry and apply for oil. I sometimes just enjoy doing this to get a boost in the scented oil I’m using as well. Great video Dan!
Thanks Josh!
I rinse with cold water in the morning then apply oil before work. 2nd application of oil after showering when I get home from work. I use beard butter before bed. My beard is 75% gray and I work outside for my job. Thanks Dan C for all of your help...this is the nicest beard I've ever grown!
So cool to hear that! Keep it growing
This is great for new beardsmen from zero to 60 days of growth. Would you ever create playlists separated by timeline? Like a curriculum or lesson plan, what are the essentials for the first "semester"?
I have a playlist for "beginner beardsmen" that should be perfect for them! I love your spin on it with the teacher aspect though
Great vid dude! You have converted me as a newbie product user....used to just use butter in the morning. Now its oil first and always.. Butter if I need a mild hold...going out, and overnight.
Trusted Teacher!
Thank you!!
I find twice a day for me is good. If I do too much in the morning I will look greasy and feel gross, but then by the time the evening hits I like to wash my face and reapply. After joining this channel I’m really interested in trying the butter at night instead. Seems like a good routine
Heck yeah
Generally speaking, I use oil twice a day.
Thank you so much for all you do. Keep up the great work! 👊
Same.
Thank you Ryan!
I shower in the morning (finish with a cold rinse - REFRESHING!) then dry it to about 75% dry, oil, wait 5 minutes, and style.

I appreciate that. Thank you!
Morning shower, scrub up good, comb and brush out, oil up, comb and brush through - most days that's it. I am in education as well and do have to wear a mask as I enter the building, when I'm speaking face to face with someone, or when I'm in the halls. I live in the Desert Southwest and our average humidity is usually sub 30%. (High mountain desert though, still get's very cold and we get the nice occasional snowfall.)

I shower at night. It makes styling a little more difficult but right now life demands nighttime showers. Hence, oil by night; butter by day. Sometimes a little oil in the day if things be dry.
Makes sense to me!
I started stashing beard oil in my work locker a few months back. Between having to switch out facemasks a few times during a shift and wearing a hair bouffant over the beard, I found myself in desparate need of some oil reapplication around mid day. Like you said, gotta listen to what your beard tells ya. Watching this definitely reassured me that I was making the right call 👍🏻
Spot on, thanks for sharing and commenting Adam!
As a paramedic in an ER I’ve been putting a really thin layer of beard butter on the inside of my mask. It does tend to cause a little bit of oiliness where the mask sits but seems to keep my beard from developing that hay feeling after 8-12 hours straight of wearing a mask. Plus the scent covers up the smell during a code brown situation.
lol oh man! Code brown
Oil & balm in the morning, post shower. Normally a 2nd, lesser application of oil late afternoon- sometimes admittedly just for a “scent recharge” (because I can be a junkie for some of those incredible aromas! In those cases it is normally just a few drops, not the nickel size amount my beard drinks in the morning). Then cold wash and butter at night.
Fantastic, thank you Teek!
I work night shift in a dirty environment, so I shower in the AM before bed and apply oil...
I hit the gym after waking up and then shower again prior to work that night so I apply oil after that shower as well...
I may or may not apply oil upon waking in the afternoon if my face feels dry...
I’m still in the beginning stages of growth but figured the more nutrients I can get to the skin early on, the better...
2x a day. Oil and butter in AM after rinsing my beard in the sink. Oil and butter again in the PM after a rinse in the shower (or after washing my beard). For the most part, I only briefly wear my mask at work as I have my own working space.
Perfect, thanks for sharing!
Morning oil after brushing teeth and cold rinsing beard. Then, after work shower and oil. I'm a two times a day beard.
Awesome, thank you!
This is exactly what I do. Morning and late night before bed.
Same as me at the moment. Mine is only about 10 weeks growth though....may change as it gets longer.
Great topic, Dan! I usually use oil twice a day, once in the morning and again in the afternoon after practice or a workout. Love the advice!
Awesome, thank you Devon!
You are a very lucky man Dan - A Full, long beard AND a beautiful wife and kids.
Thank you 🤝
I apply oil twice a day, wash face and beard in morning then dry a wee bit, apply oil and have a good comb through and that’s me set up for the day at work. In the evening after my shower I oil and sometimes butter an hour after so the oil has a good chance to sock in to my skin and beard. 👍🏻
Perfect, thank you!
I always apply in the morning, after my shower. Many times, I will apply oil after work. I work at a sand and gravel pit. We are outside much of the day in the wind, sun, rain, ect and it usually feels dry by the end of the work day. Wind and sand dry everything out! I use butter before bed.
Makes total sense!
I normally use a boost serum oil before I go to bed , then in the morning a regular one for a healthy nourished look
Cool!
I never knew that the beard should be damp before applying oil. Thank you Dan. I am learning from you all the time. I adore you!
Same! I applied it when it was dry.
I’m a night time shower guy. Oil and butter and heat (always low heat for my thinner graying beard!). Morning I spray bottle water to rinse butter out then oil only. I’ve tried not to use balms for styling because they often make my beard look thinner however, I’ve been experimenting some with a small amount of butter then hair dryer to style in the mornings. The last few times I’ve done this have been good for me. I’ve used way too much products in the past and the result was pimples.
Awesome feedback from experience, thank you!
Once a day after showering, maybe a drop on my stache later in the day to enjoy a scent.
Love the extra touch for fun later!
Twice a day, is how many times I use it. Once in the morning and once at night. Both with butter. Love the results. Since you did the video on not to rub the conditioner into the skin, I've had no beard pimples. Thanks again, Teach!
Never really felt the need to apply more product throughout my day. I could see some jobs calling for the occasional secondary application. I feel some also apply a 2nd coat for maybe more of that "smell good" and they could simply also just add butter.
Been a minute and wanted to help out that video push!!!!!! 👊
Thank you Bobby, truly appreciated!
Dan, After morning shower apply beard oil comb through then apply Beard butter comb through . Blow dry with Wet brush. Done.
Wife is sensitive to heavy scents so I try to avoid applying product before bed.-Pete
Perfect, thank you Pete!
oil in the morning after a rinse. oil and butter at night after a shower. sometimes ill do a rinse and more oil in the middle of the day if I have been sweating a lot or getting dirty
Thank you Joshua!
I apply beard oil 2 times per day, with around 3 drops in the morning after a shower and 3 drops at night before I sleep. In the morning, I also use beard balm.
I apply once in the morning, and once at night with butter. If it’s a really rough day (mask, elements, dry day outside, etc.) sometimes midday with straight jojoba mixed 50/50 with a scented oil just to freshen up after work.
Awesome, thanks Lucas!
I use beard oil 2-4 times a day, i also wash my beard 3-4 times a week. Lately I've been washing daily with water only, and try 2-3 times a week with beard wash. My beard is itchy, dry, red and sore, also hurts to touch my skin underneath on some areas, sometimes pimples. I think I've tried 20 different beard oils, nothing seem to change much. Some oils seems to surprise me and give me a good result and then they don't. I also use beard conditioner sometimes, not everytime i wash it. Other times after washing i change beard oil with lotions from la roche posay, but I can't tell what works or not, lotions make ur beard sticky and not feeling newly washed, if you compare it with using oil instead. I've also struggled with beardruff for ages, it gets better sometimes, but then it returns, but i also change a lot of products. What I've been trying to research and never found the answer to, is if you compare a beard shampoo with a very gentle hair shampoo or dandruff gentle shampoo found in pharmacy, could anyone tell me what is the best? Will beard shampoo always be the most gentle, even if you buy one of the most gentle hair shampoo? To mention some products its either vichy, la roche posay, ACO, right now im using Daxxin, one for dandruff. I've also used fungoral and selukos/selsun for seborrheic dermatitis, let's just say that after 3 years, I'm still struggling, but I don't give up, because i love my beard. I'd highly appreciate if anyone has any advise for me! Great video btw, lots of good tips :D
Absolutely stop using lotion! Good quality beard oil will not cause any of the problems you are mentioning, unless you are using too much. Stick with beard products on your face: beard oil, wash, conditioner, and butter.
@@DanCBearded I see, lotion will not touch my beard skin again! I've tried butter before, ended up with fungu in my beard, seems like my skin react very bad to shea butter, very sensitive skin. Had to remove my beard after going on treatment through a specialist for a year, cause i could't get rid of the issues, but I'll keep trying to find the best products for my beard in the future, hopefully something works in the end! Ty for the tip!
Usually in the morning comb through and use oil, I do find after wearing a mask I need to re apply later that day, I use a face cloth dipped in hot water and then let that sit on my beard before re applying later that day. Hot water really helps my beard soften up and absorb the moisture and oil
I apply oil 3-5 times a day in a controlled situation. I live in the dry southern Utah weather with no humidity. Ive always figured as long as im not getting acne its ok for my beard.
Fantastic, thank you for sharing Ryan!
I have a gray beard. I rinse it in the morning then I use beard oil. I shower in the evening and cowash or wash my beard. After the shower I use oil and beard beard butter before bed, anything less and my beard gets brittle. ( I drink at least 96 ounces of water a day). Great video as usual.
Yep, I concur and where did I get the information for beard care? Right here on Dan C Bearded's UA-cam Channel and haven't been steered wrong yet. Dan has given me a baseline to start from and then I was able to figure out what is best for my beard. The most important piece of advice is listen to your beard and then figure out what is right for your beard.
Well said Steve! Thank you for sharing!!
Always great advice my bearded friend! I always apply oil after every shower, also oil & beard butter (about 5mins after that, thanks to your advice once again!) before going to bed... Although I typically completely dry my beard before I apply.
I'm guessing best results while damp? Still learning this grooming game! hehe.
Thank you so much, Dan and have a blessed day! :)
Damp for sure!
Rinse or dampen my beard first thing in the morning. Oil and comb it through. Hair dryer on low warm to dry my beard and help work the oil throughout my beard. Evening routine, rinse, oil lightly, dry, beard butter for the night.
Spot on! Thanks Shannon!
I apply beard oil twice a day. Morning is oil only, night is oil and butter.
Same here
Perfect, thanks Scott!
I wet in the morning with oil and balm, and then shower in the evening with oil and butter ❤️
Seems to be doing okay so far!
Awesome!
I shower twice a day (on work days) before and after work, with the second shower using a beard wash. I apply oil and style after both showers . Then butter to a damp beard at night before bed
Thank you my friend!
I work remotely from home, so I apply oil after my morning shower. That's all I need for the day, and I use beard butter before bed at night. Great video!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks to your previous advice on one of my comments, I now shower when I get home from work(healthcare worker who wears an N95 mask a lot) and I put a little beard oil and then butter in my beard before I go to bed, then when I wake up and shower, I just use beard oil before work.
Thanks for sharing!! awesome
@@DanCBearded Thanks for the great info as always :)
I workout every morning during the week, so after my shower I apply oil. During the colder months the dry air usually means that I will more oil in the evening as well.
Perfect, thank you!
As a stay at home dad, I only apply beard oil (sometimes balm) once a day. In the evening I'll use a beard butter. This routine seems to work pretty well for me.
Sounds spot on!
Being since there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not masked, sweaty or both I do oil twice a day. I use about a half dropper in the morning wait 5 minutes and then apply a small amount of butter. In the evening after my shower, I use about a quarter dropper with a medium amount of butter after the 5 minutes. This really works for me and took a while to get it right. Keep up the great work Dan 👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻!
Thank you Jim!
I apply oil after my shower which is usually in the late afternoon. Then I wait about 10 minutes and apply Butter. My beard will absorb that butter in about 4 hours and then get coarse again. So my question is "How Many Times A Day Can You Apply Beard Butter?" - Thanks
I would try to stick to once or twice. If you do twice, rinse out before the next application
Great video! I work out in the morning and have a job where I get fairly sweaty and hate the feeling of going to bed sweaty so I take two showers daily. It's not ideal for my skin or hair but it is what it is. I use oil after both showers and butter after my nighttime shower and find it works pretty well given my situation
Thanks fore the feedback!
I apply 4 drops each morning before leaving for work and when I reach home in the evening, I rinse my beard and apply 4 drops and when its time for bed, I apply 4 drops and I repeat the cycle each day.
I reapply oil,and butter, after work only because i am required to wear a mask trough out the day.i do use an alternative to the spray bottle to moisten my beard. I wet my hands under the faucet, than shake off excess water, which leaves significant amount of wetness to moisten my beard. Thanks always for the videos.
You're welcome and thank you for sharing!
Always after a shower. At night i usually apply oil then balm later before bed. But I dont get the beard wet first. Never thought of that.
For sure try getting the beard wet first!
I use beard oil once a day myself. Thanks for the information Dan C.
Thanks for giving the feedback Peter!
I definitely do oil twice a day due to work and showering. I mostly do butter only at night, but sometimes I use a small amount in the morning with oil in it.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@DanCBearded You're welcome! I don't know how many people will see this comment, but it boosts engagement with the platform, and with you!
I put oil on in morning and butter 5 mins later depending on what I do that day if I reapply or not but nite time I just use butter Thanks for info D.C.B have a awesome beard day!
Thanks Jason!
Oil and balm in the morning, oil and balm at night. Weekends depending on activities is oil, oil and only oil.
Great breakdown! Make sense for the different activities
@@DanCBearded Thanks. You been a real help in these videos by helping me find a balance that works. So thank you, sir. 🤙
Great insight!!! Have to know your beard and your environment!!!
Absolutely!! Thank you Tyson!
I use a dropper full after showering and half that amount in the late afternoon. Adding water in the pm tends to frizz me out. Maybe stepping it up to a full dropper would counter that? Followed your advice on using oil only during the day and butter before bed, it's saving me a lot of product, plus I like the lighter feel. Thanks, Dan 👊
Give it a shot! Let me know if it helps
Dan, very great content, just thinking about that, and you're posting it❤️ thanks, keep it up man ❤️
My job is to read your mind!
@@DanCBearded yeah man Teacher for a reason 😉
Generally about 2 times. Just a sweaty guy! I recommend trying different carrier blends when you can! I recently switched to a different carrier blend and it’s been AMAZING! I use oil twice a day and butter for my night time routine
Absolutely, thank you brotha!
Such an interesting video. Would you ever consider doing a video on beard care for a rainy day?
Or I should say preparing your beard for a rainy day.
I will write it down, thank you!
Great video. I have noticed now that I have to mask up all 12 hours of my shift my heard drys out faster. Oiling has now become a few times a day throughout my work shift.
Sounds spot on for your situation. Masks are not fun for the beard
Great educational video Daniel ✌🏼
Thank you for watching Michael!
@@DanCBearded i aint going nowhere family 🤝🏼
8th today Dan, well i apply oil one in the morning, one after job and butter in the evening.
Nice upload brother
Hope you and family are well 🙏
Fantastic, thank you Stephan!
Usually at night and in morning sometimes at lunch time because I work outside in south florida. Thanks trusted teacher
Awesome!! Thank you!
I've got uneven sideburns, so I think (based on these comments) I should wet my face first (after washing my hands) and then apply the oil. Thanks man!
Spot on!
When I have days off back to back if i feel like my beard is to dry I apply beard oil every hour. And I shaved it so It can get the natural growth
Oh interesting!
I only use one time a day! I'm old for me! I use butter at night and works fine!
I often forget to oil my beard. I used to do it religiously but as it got longer, I’ve fallen out of love with the daily routine. How much damage will it do if I don’t oil daily. I have noticed that I’m losing around a dozen hairs each day. It’s probably more but the long ones are easy to spot. Thank you.
Not much on the damage end. More some comfy and optimal health. Likely will develop split ends easier and possible beard dandruff
@@DanCBearded Dan, you’re perfectly correct re split ends, I have a few. It doesn’t help not be able to get a trim due on lockdown. Just had a quick shower and put some lavender scented oil on, it’s late evening here in the UK so quite relaxing. Thanks for your awesome videos. Keep up the good work.
In order to pray 5 times a day, I need to wash my face 4 to 5 times. So I have to apply beard oil 2-3 times a day. But after watching this video, I think I am applying it too much because I noticed small pimples underneath the beard.
Let me know if an adjustment helps!
Awesome video, Oil in the morning and butter at night. And If I do yard work or go on the boat I will shower and reapply oil.
I apply oil 2 times a day morning and mid day, I work in food so I rinse with hot water and apply oil... Then I do a butter or leave in conditioner before bed
Awesome!
Night shower. Oil/butter. Morning water/oil. IF I’m feeling a bit dry a mid day oil or butter may be applied but usually not.
Thanks for sharing Ben!
I work in a real oily/sweaty type job. So i take 2 showers a day. So twice a day.
Man, I’m loving these videos . As a Muslim, it is obligatory for us to grow (for those who can grow it ) the beard ( because the Prophet Muhammad commanded us to grow the beard ) and keep it for life.
Thank you!
Awesome video Dan!!!
Definitely a question I ask myself from time to time is whether or not I'm using too much oil.
I am a face rinser in my bathroom sink first thing in the morning, I apply my Oil for the day, maybe a balm if I'm feeling it. Then I go to work detailing boats and cars, which we dont wear masks all day, but I do use dusty materials like our compounds for buffing aswell as some acidic chemicals from time to time. I also sweat, so before bed every night I'll shower, typically washing my beard, dependent on my day of work, and then re oil and use butter for bed 😁
👊🏼
Thanks for sharing Sam. Sounds perfect
Great information as always. I have often wondered about how many times a day I should apply beard oil.
I have a gray beard. I apply oil twice a day. It just really seems to need it again by mid to late afternoon.
Gray for sure plays a part in that!
Hi Dan, have you tried Bromley's Beard oil? Comes in a glass blue dropper bottle 1.9oz and it only costs $4.89 at Kroger or Frys food stores. I'll probably buy a bottle just to see if its any good because its so cheap.
I haven't, but I will see if I can try them!
I Use Bromleys Oil It's Very Moisturizing I'm On My Second Bottle From Krogers The Beard Balm Bergamot Lavender Is Real Good Too It's Very Moisturizing Too. It's Some Of The First Beard Oil And Balm I Ever Bought Starting Out Since It Was Cheap. I Love The Smell Of Both. The Peppermint Scruff Cream Conditions Well Too.
I apply once daily after nightly shower. My skin is oily, which may be a factor. After removing my gaiter I smooth my beard into place with the backs of my hands, and my beard feels fine. Since using only oil for some time, I don't care for butter as much as I once did.
Routines and preferences will change all the time, that is great feedback!
@@DanCBearded Thank you. Sometimes hard to tell a routine from a rut. I'm using my old Kent Mini Headhog to curl under the bottom of my beard. Quite different from a coarse- or wide-tooth comb.
Awesome video and very good knowledge! Thank you for your wisdom!!
You're absolutely welcome!
I always apply oil after my morning shower. Most of the time I also apply some oil after I get home due to wearing a mask at work and public transport (greetings from Germany), but often times I delay the second oiling until after supper, to not wash out oil in case something gets into the beard.
Greetings from the US!
New Beard here. Great intro & content. Subbed & liked. Much thanks..
awesome to hear, thank you! I hope you dig in to some more recent videos 🤝
Sometimes it's good to just come back and watch one of your videos as a sort of "refresher" and because sometimes we might change our routine over time *and not even know it*!!
Hey! Video idea???? 😂
There are times when we consciously change something in our routine. We are aware of it, we want to change it, we make a choice. But sometimes, as is the case with me, things change over time and we have no idea we did it! It's not one day, one time, boom, we changed something. It's like that game teachers would have you play as a kid, Telephone, to show you how words can drastically change just by changing tiny words over and over. Kinda the same thing. One day you decide you're going to add a couple more drops of this super thin oil. And you use it for days and days. A couple more drops, day after day, of this thinner oil. Then you change oils. Different brand, same viscosity, so you use the same amount of added drops. But then you go to a different oil, different viscosity, but only slightly thicker. So you use the same amount of drops as with the thinner oil!
Eventually you're just using this bigger amount of oil, but you're grabbing Fable or, gulp, Artius Man! 😳 And you sorta just forgot that you made all these little change over time for that thinner oil. You added drops, and maybe you used a different butter that went with the added drops, or maybe you also started applying more of this or that, and eventually you just have to start over with your oils and butter, all because you made these teeny tiny changes along the way and sorta just didn't realize it all!!
(Unless that doesn't ever happen to anybody else and I'm the only dummy that does that. In that case, please don't make a video out of it. 😂😂)
There absolutely is something to all of that! Could be a future video 🤝
@@DanCBearded yay. 😊
I apply after shower in morning then after I either work out later in the day or after moving and cleaning stuff around in my apartment. Or after I got back from the store aka virus 🦠😷hey everyone stay safe out thre it is soooo bad now 🎅🏻🙌🏻 And hope you have a great holiday season 🤗 or at least try to.
Happy holidays to you too!
Here's a slightly related question, I know you've talked about beard dandruff and that it is important to apply a quality oil regularly in order to address the sebum oil that your beard is "stealing" from your facial skin. However, skin dies, dead skin is a natural thing (dust is mostly dead skin, eww I know) so how can you tell the difference between NATURAL dead skin that gets trapped by the beard and UN-natural dead skin buildup? (whether that unnatural buildup is due to dandruff as a skin condition or from a deficiency that a better beard routine could address)
When comes to the skin under your beard, the unnatural buildup will be much larger. Flakey, white, and very noticeable
Great video as usual Dan,thank you for sharing this information with everybody.
Thank you my friend!
Question : I don't shower everyday (every other day , especially due to the pandemic) should I be applying beard oil/balm daily regardless? Also how often should I wash my beard? I coincide my beard washing when i trim my beard, which is once a week. I like this cadence because it lets me get a decent build of oil from the other beard oil/bam applications to give my beard a little extra hold and mold-ability. Lastly, this was another great video thanks for all you and the "Dan C Bearded Family" do for us beardos :).
The washing is all situational. If you are not getting dirty or sweaty, washing once a week is fine. I do recommend oil daily. Even if it is just getting the beard wet in the sink
What has the "pandemic" got to do with showering?
@@steve_and_lolas_hikes I guess nothing, i've just noticed i've made a few changes since the pandemic, one of them being less showers as i'm just at home all day?
Good advice and straight to the point
Liked 👍

Awesome! Thank you and welcome to the channel 👊
Thrice a day:
morning
midday with balm
evening with butter
Why midday with a balm? If you want styling wouldn't you want to apply balm in the morning.
Great Vid Man Happy Holiday's!!!
Happy holidays Scott! Good to hear from you 👊
Hey Dan, I work with postal services and I’m on the road all day. I apply beard oil in the morning and then balm or butter. I can’t really take any oil or other products with me because I don’t have any chances of washing my hands during work. So what would you suggest, adding beard oil and butter in the morning or balm ? I’m guessing butter because the beard stays hydrated longer.
I remember though in a video that you said you only apply beard butter in the evening before bed
I would suggest trying oil only! If that doesn’t do it, for sure butter
Great video trusted teacher! Spot on. I do apply oil twice a day, everyday. My routine really only changes in how much I wash vs. co-wash (winter/dryer/not sweating as much) I wash less and co-wash more. Summer (especially if I'm playing a lot of golf/mowing/swimming--in my world that means floating in the pool with a cigar and cocktail) I'll sometimes do all 3 (wash/co-wash and oil) twice a day because I'm showering twice a day.
Work hard and play hard! Living that best life. I love it!
