If your beard age is 8-9 months you can add few more drops.

Rub the oil gently in your jaw and chin area. While rubbing oil change your hand movements in circular motion. While rubbing don’t put a lot of pressure on your beard with an illusion of to make reach the beard oil to the roots, that will damage the hairs.

If you are an enthusiastic user of beard oil, you may skip smearing beard balm. The ingredients hold by beard oil and balm are almost the same. They give the same result. If you are a beginner, applying beard balm in a small quantity is preferable.If the beard hairs have enough natural oil in it it is more softer.
