South Asian men are known for their ability to grow big, strong beards. So if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift this festive season, why not give them a beard product that’s luxurious and indulgent? After all, men need self care too.

Zousz Black Oud Luxury Beard Oil

A beard oil is a nourishing moisturisation product. Zousz prides itself on creating luxurious and “deeply masculine” products that are 100% sustainable, hand packaged and made in the UK. They currently have three products: a beard balm, a beard oil and an eau de parfum. All three contain black oud, an essential oil that comes from the resin of the Aquilaria trees of South East Asia. It gives the products a musky and strongly masculine smell. The beard oil is moisturising and acts to soften and nourish the beard and skin, helps to calm and eliminate dry and itchy skin and uses vitamin E to encourage hair growth. It is anti-bacterial and non-greasy and there is a subscription service available too.

Seven Potions Woodland Harmony Beard Wax

While a beard oil moisturises, a beard wax is a styling product. Seven Potions’s Woodland Harmony Beard Wax helps shape facial hair without leaving a sticky residue or making them stiff. Instead, this natural, organic and vegan wax will make the beard smooth and provide a subtle shine. It has a medium hold and works great at keeping all the hair in its place. With a buttery, creamy texture it will nourish the beard with each successive use and therefore make the hair more manageable. Containing cedar wood and sandalwood fragrances and essential oils like coconut oil, palm oil, jojoba oil, cacao, avocado oil, and vitamin E, it has a musky and manly yet subtle smell.

Honest Amish Beard Balm

If you want to give the gift of nourishment and style then a beard balm is the way to go. Honest Amish is a natural, organic and handmade beard products company. Containing a base of virgin argan nut oil, avocado oil, virgin pumpkin seed oil, and apricot kernal oil, it is bursting with nourishing shea nut butter, organic cocoa butter and kokum butter and other hair strengthening and lengthening ingredients like lavender oil, organic cinnamon leaf oil, pink grapefruit oil and star anise oil. It has a masculine smell thanks to cedarwood oil and clove bud oil, provides a medium hold to long and short beards and helps soften and repair dry hair. It nourishes new growth and conditions the skin to help stop itching.

Bulldog Original Beard Shampoo and Conditioner

It makes sense, that as hair, beards need shampoo and conditioner too to stay clean and hydrated. As a 2-in-1, its great for men who don’t like the fuss of multiple grooming products. Containing revitalising ingredients like aloe vera, camelina oil and green tea, it will leave the beard feeling fresh, clean, nourished and soft. It soothes the skin too to reduce itching and irritation. This deeply popular product can be used everyday on normal skin and contains no artificial colours, synthetic fragrances or parabens. It’s a very budget-friendly product and the brand also offer customers a discount if they buy more than one. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free.
