How to Use Your Beard Maintenance Kit

A simple, smart routine for a healthier, better-looking beard.

Welcome on your new Stuga Beard Maintenance Kit. You’ve got everything you need for a tidy, comfortable beard with natural sheen — minus the fuss.

What’s in the Kit

Stuga Beard Oil

Australian Sweet Almond, Macadamia & Apricot Kernel Oils. Precision pipette for clean, exact drops.

Stuga Beard Balm

Locks in moisture with light hold. Tames flyaways. Natural finish — not greasy.

Sandalwood Comb

Smooth teeth glide without snagging. Distributes oils evenly and reduces static.

Your Oil Blend, Simply

Sweet Almond (AU): Vitamin-rich; softens beard and soothes skin.

Macadamia (AU): Close to natural sebum; absorbs fast and conditions deeply.

Apricot Kernel: Softens coarse hairs and supports healthy growth feel.

Precision wins: Use the pipette. A few drops go a long way and keep things mess-free.

The Routine (Takes 2–3 Minutes)

Start Clean

Wash your beard. Clean fibres absorb product properly.

Try the Stuga Beard Wash Block — gentle on skin, strong on build-up.

Pat Dry

Gently towel dry. Aim for slightly damp — not dripping.

Why it matters: Hot water strips; soaking wet dilutes oils. Damp helps absorption.

Apply Beard Oil

  • Short (1–3 months): 3–4 drops
  • Medium (3–6 months): 5–7 drops
  • Long (6+ months): 8–10 drops

Warm between palms. Work from skin out to the tips.

Distribute well:

  • Massage into the skin first
  • Pull through lengths with fingers
  • Comb through with sandalwood comb

Lock In with Balm

After 2–3 minutes, apply balm (rice-grain to pea-size). Warm in hands, smooth over the outer layer, then comb.

Finish: Light, natural hold. Shape — don’t shellac.

Final Shape & Store

Comb to set the shape. Pop tools back in the Caddy so tomorrow is easy.

Quick Extras

When to Apply

Daily: After your shower. Evening: If dry, a touch of oil only.

  • Winter: Slightly more oil
  • Summer: Go lighter on balm
  • After training: Re-oil post-wash
Comb Care

Brush out product weekly. Wood develops a handsome patina over time.

Signs It’s Working
  • Softer, easier to shape
  • Less itch and flaking
  • Natural, healthy sheen
  • Healthier skin underneath

Troubleshooting

Feels Greasy

Use fewer drops. Ensure beard is only slightly damp, not wet.

Still Dry

Add 1–2 drops and massage into the skin, not just the hair.

Uneven Growth

Comb daily, keep healthy. Genetics do most of the deciding — focus on condition.

Itchy Skin

Massage oil to the base. If needed, use the Beard Wash Block for a deeper clean.

Keep It Simple

Small routine, big result. In a couple of weeks your beard will look neater, feel softer and behave better — without any drama.
