Jojoba Oil Common Uses
• Moisturizer – After dispensing any facial
moisturizer onto your palm, try adding a few drops (2-6) of
jojoba oil to make it into a super moisturizer. Flakiness will
subside and the moisturizer will have an improved feel on your
skin.
•
Make-up remover – Since jojoba oil is not an eye
irritant, nor allergenic, you can use it to remove eye makeup.
It also easily removes foundation, blush, and lipstick.
•
Lip balm – I use jojoba oil as a lip balm all the
time. I just put a few drops on my finger and apply to my lips.
Lots of lip balms tend to contain comedogenic (clogs pores)
ingredients, so jojoba oil is a nice alternative. This is
especially nice at night because, excuse the grossness, but if
you tend to slobber when you sleep whatever you put on your lips
will come into contact with your face. Jojoba oil is great for
this purpose. As a side note, if you need major help with dry
lips, pure petroleum jelly is non-comedogenic and works as well.
•
Hair conditioner – You can mix a few drops of jojoba
oil into your current conditioner or use it on its own. You can
also add it to damp hair before drying. Also, you can add it to
dry hair to promote shine. Jojoba oil also moisturizes the
scalp, helping prevent dandruff.
•
Shave prep - Put a whole bunch of jojoba oil on your
beard area beneath your shaving cream for a more comfortable
shave. This helps prevent razor burn and leaves your skin
feeling nice and soft.
•
Massage / Body oil – I got a massage recently and asked the
masseuse to use jojoba oil. She said, “wow, a little of this
goes a long way”. Plus I was able to enjoy my massage much more
knowing that the massage oil was non-comedogenic. I’ve had no
problems with breakouts since. |
