I’ve been struggling with beard oil stains on my shirt collars after workouts. I read that applying it to a damp beard helps with absorption, but I’m curious—what’s your routine? Do you wipe off excess oil before hitting the gym?
YO DUDE!!! I feel your PAIN, those oil stains are the WORST!!! facepalm Here’s my 2 cents: after applying to a damp beard (TOTALLY AGREE), I blot with a microfiber cloth to soak up ANY EXCESS!!! Then, I wait AT LEAST 15 mins before hitting the gym to let it fully absorb. Also, try using a lighter oil formula—some are WAY too greasy IMHO!!! STAIN-FREE COLLARS FTW!!!
One thing I’ve found super helpful is timing my beard oil application around my workout schedule. If I know I’m hitting the gym, I apply the oil right after my shower but way earlier than usual—like an hour before—to let it fully absorb. I also switched to a matte-finish oil that’s less likely to transfer. And here’s a pro tip: keep a soft towel in your gym bag to dab your neck and collar mid-session if you start sweating. Works like a charm!
