1. Wash your beard: Before applying beard oil, it's important to wash your beard with a gentle cleanser and warm water. This will help to remove any dirt, oil, or other debris that may have accumulated in your beard.

2. Dry your beard: Pat your beard dry with a clean towel until it is damp, but not completely dry.

3. Dispense the beard oil: Pour a small amount (usually a dime-sized amount) of beard oil into your palm. You may need to use a bit more if you have a longer beard.

4. Rub your hands together: Rub your hands together to distribute the oil evenly between your palms and fingers.

5. Apply the beard oil: Using your fingers, massage the oil into your beard and skin underneath, making sure to distribute it evenly throughout your beard.

6. Comb or brush your beard: Use a comb or brush to distribute the beard oil evenly throughout your beard and style as desired.
