RRP: $13.99/£10.99

If someone in your life has some facial hair, do them a favor and get them some conditioning beard oil! If this gift is for your partner, it's also just as much of a gift for you, as not only will their beards smell nice but will also be much softer on your face!

This oil from L’Oréal is made from 88% natural ingredients and features Cedarwood essential oil, which works to condition, tame and soften beard hair, while also being non-greasy.
