Hey Everyone,

I've been using 100% organic Golden Jojoba Oil for about a month now, and My skin is near flawless! I have never had this great looking skin! Although I still get small whitheads once in a while, my face is not nearly as severe as before.

The only other product I am using is Astara Botanical Cleansing Gele, and then I apply 3 drops Jojoba, and ?I'm set for the day!!

If you guys haven't tried Jojoba, I strongly reccomend it!

Im glad your skin is doing so well with the jojoba oil. Ive been using it also for maybe the past two or three months. Though my skin is not clear I no longer get cystic acne... eusa_dance.gif Just in general my face looks better and my skin isnt nearly as oily. For some people I really do believe that the less products they use the better their faces will look.

Wow, i'm seeing all these posts about jojoba oil now! I started using it about 2 weeks ago, and I think it is REALLY helping my skin. Not only do I break out waaay less often (which I'm not sure is due to the jojoba or not), my skin just looks way healther, and has more of a rosy glow to it and I'm almost positive that is due to the jojoba.

The lady at my local herb shop said it is good to add a drop or two of tea tree in your Jojoba, that way you can kill bacteria before it starts.

I highly doubt you will find it in a pharmacy, since it is a natural product. You can find it on several online places such as drugstore.com, or ebay.

I massage about 3 drops of Jojoba into my face each morning and evening.

My face is a little oily after I apply it, but once I put on my bare minerals powder, it goes away.

i use it as soon as i get out of the shower, which i do twice daily.

at night i add 1 drop tea tree to it, and my face looks so good in the morning!! the only problem with my skin is that i have lots of scars, but a little bare minerals powder covers them up pretty good.

No, my face is dry when I rub the oil on.
They say you are supposed to break out the first week of using Jojoba because the oil is supposedly cleaning out your pores, I however didn't get much more than 2 small whiteheads. I guess it depends on the individual.

If you do break out, don't give up!!! Go to www.drugstore.com and type in Jojoba, and read the reviews on "Desert Essence Jojoba oil". It is very encouraging to read other peoples success stories!

thanks so much.

i tried it overnight on somewhat damp skin to help spread it out. it's ok. i wasn't expecting too much anyways, i'm only looking for a simple nighttime moisturizer. no breakouts and helped with the rednesss from being so dry (my skin has been a desert for the last week). though i thought my pores looked bigger. but it's only been one application, i'll see what's gonna happen for at least 2 weeks before i make my final judgment. wink.gif
