Deep Clean with Jojoba Oil

by | Updated: July 3rd, 2012 | Read time: 1 minute

Every makeup removal product I’ve tried in the past either did not effectively remove mascara or left my skin feeling dry and cracked. Well, I have found nature’s remedy: jojoba oil. It is a rich skin moisturizer and makeup remover, and it is all-natural and gentle!

Jojoba oil liquid content extracted from the seed of the Jojoba plant, found in Arizona, California and Mexico. It is colorless and odorless, and not actually considered oil. It is what is called a wax ester. Out of all of the compounds in nature, this wax ester is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum). It is theorized that applying jojoba to the skin can “trick” the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production. And best of all, it is non-comedogenic (does not cause or promote acne).

Jojoba oil can be used in a myriad of ways; for removing makeup and unclogging pores, and softening your hands and feet after bathing. It also can be used as a massage oil and scalp treatment to manage dandruff. You can apply it as hair treatment while in the sun or as an aftershave moisturizer. It is suitable for even the most sensitive skin.  So treat your skin well”¦ try jojoba oil!
