Beard shampoo/oil

[dan2002]

Basically I have a question regarding beard shampoo/oil.

I purchased the Lo'real beard shampoo & beard oil. After a few uses I realised it gives me facial spots just above my beard line. I think the ingredients used doesn't sit right with my face.

Did some research and I seen that organic ones would be best.

Would you lot say this is a decent one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B092RCYT3W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AC4XX9OMO0CVC&psc=1

For oil just use baby oil.
Does the same so I'm told.

If you want a nicer smell just put some essential oils in it.

I've also heard that olive oil is good for shaving.

No mate you are wrong. Baby oil is not good for the skin. Full of scent.

My gp said to avoid baby oil

I don’t have a clean shave. I have a short beard that I shape up

My beard doesn't squeak so I never dreamt of oiling it. Some use castor oil I believe, I have no idea what for.
I'm sure I've had a few oils on it, like engine oil, raw linseed oil.... the only one I remember was EP heli gearbox oil, which stung.

After shaving put witch hazel on your face/neck, closes the pores and sooths the skin so no spots. Cheap as chips, get a bottle in Home Bargains for less than £2.

Feckn' beards! Unhygienic things. Take the monstrosity off and look 10 years younger, instantly.

Never cultivate on your face what grows naturally on your 'arris!

My barbor said to use it, he had a good beard on him.
Google suggest otherwise although it does suggest not putting it on the face as it can clog pores and cause acne.
Yet other sites suggest it can be good for acne.

Not good for the skin? why is it good for babies then? surely if it was not good for the skin then millions of mums would be getting upset about this?

Lots of people use baby oil on their beards without problem.
Even better to get coconut oil based baby oil.
