Jojoba Oil

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.

What are the benefits of Jojoba oil for hair?

Regular application of jojoba oil can hydrate the scalp and prevent dry flaking. Jojoba oil hydrates the scalp and provides the hair with the much needed nutrients which can improve the overall health of the hair and stimulate hair growth. It forms a coating on each of your hair shaft and prevents it from dust and pollution which cause dryness. You can apply it to your hair directly before shampooing, mix it with hair products or add it to essential oils like tea tree oil and rosemary oil.

Can I use Jojoba oil as a makeup remover?

Rich in vitamins A, E, and D, plus antioxidants and fatty acids, Jojoba oil treats the skin while removing products as stubborn as waterproof mascara. Add a few drops of jojoba to a damp cotton ball or cotton pad then wipe over face and eyes. Use multiple cotton pads if you use lots of makeup. You can also use jojoba to clean and condition your makeup brushes.

Can I leave Jojoba oil on my face overnight?

Absolutely! For best results against acne, breakouts, oily skin and dryness, warm up a spoonful of Jojoba oil and massage it in after washing the face at bedtime and leave it on overnight. Pure Jojoba oil is fully absorbed into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. You can rub a few drops of Jojoba oil between your palms and apply it on the face and other areas whenever you venture out and after washing your face every time.

Is Jojoba oil good for acne?

Acne develops due to excess sebum production which along with keratin and other cell debris blocks the skin pores and hair follicles. This blockage leads to pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Now Jojoba oil works as a deep cleanser. It goes deep into the hair follicle and clears the excess accumulation of sebum. It also soothes irritation and reduces bacterial growth due to the presence of vitamins A&E, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
