Is Jojoba a good facial moisturiser?
Jojoba oil works as an excellent substitute for lotions and face creams. Packed with nutrients and vitamins, it moisturises and hydrates even the driest of skins. It’s antibacterial and anti-fungal thus reducing acne, flakiness and greasiness. Rich in antioxidants, it helps to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Jojoba oil has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe sunburn, eczema and other drying skin conditions.
Does Jojoba oil reduce sebum production?
Jojoba oil is very similar to the natural oil produced by human skin, called sebum. More like a liquid wax than oil, it regulates sebum production. It might seem strange to use oil on your face, especially if you’re prone to acne or have oily skin. However, Jojoba oil actually reduces greasiness as it mixes with our own sebum, dissolves excess oil and balances sebum production.
