I bought some Desert Essence jojoba oil a couple days ago and like it alot. The only thing is it makes my face look oily and doesn't absorb for a few hours. Does anyone know how I can help this? I tried patting my face with a tissue and it helped a little, but not as much as I'd like. I want the full benefits of the oil since I have really dry skin.

try putting the oil on when your skin is just a little bit damp. it gets absorbed quickly and doesn't look shiny.

Can I mix; jojoba oil, tea tree oil and rose hip oil?

Can I mix; jojoba oil, tea tree oil and rose hip oil?

Yes, I mix my Jojoba with 2 drops tea tree every night. I've never used rose hip oil, but I've heard it is good for acne prone skin.

Does it also help in clearing the scars?
I randomly have breakouts but i have slight redness on my cheeks due to earlier acne.
and do the oil work good on hair too?

does this irritate anyones acne?.. and has anyone experienced blackheads/clogged pores using it?

[(eLLe)]

well, it's almost a week now. and i'm pretty amazed with the results. i've always had these sebum "strings" that clog pores and make skin look really rough and uneven. well, jojoba oil has completely eliminated this. these strings just stopped forming. my skin looks so wonderful. only a week, and hopefully i won't breakout later from this stuff. i'll continue with my updates.

supercelebs: i don't have any pimples, so i highly doubt jojoba would irritate them. and yes, some pple do report clogged pores and breakouts.

Try just applying it at night. Then you can slather it on and it will be all absorbed by the morning. If I need moisturizer in the morning, I just put on a couple drops.

I'm glad it's working for you! I use to have horrible, huge, painful zits on my forehead, and now I have none thanks to jojoba!

Th only problem is I am still breaking out on my chin, and I recently discovered that dairy products are a big cause in acne. So Today was my first day without dairy, so we'll see how that goes.

does it help in relieving scars and redness?????????

You won't see an overnight result in scar reduction, but after using it for over a month now, I see a noticeable difference in my scars.

Just make sure you mix it with tea tree oil, it helps tremendously!!

Today I decided to use jojoba oil like a wash where I put it on my face, let it absorb for a minute then rinse it off. When I rinse it off, I feel the dead skin loosening and coming into my hands (I use AHA so my face is constantly flaking to reveal new skin underneath). Anyways, dead skin is the root cause of acne if you haven't already heard... You can never completely kill bacteria and you can't stop oil unless you OD on vitamin A or take accutane (both dangerous), and accutane helps your skin exfoliate itself as well as getting rid of oil. The point is the jojoba washes the dead skin off it seems to me, and I'm going to be trying this for the next week and report back to see if my face improves.

Jojoba oil will get rid of dry and flaky skin! My skin used to be really dry and flaky, especially after washing with BP. Of course, I don't use BP anymore, but I still have very dry skin, and Jojoba helps a lot!

If only jojoba oil had an SPF!

I'm a bit confused from reading this thread though, one person said it cleared up their oily pores (i suppose you mean blackheads?) while another said it could make them worse...

Has anyone tried using olive oil?

[R.S.]

I've heard that oils like jojoba and emu can protect the skin from the sun but it's the equivalent to a pretty low SPF, less then 10 I believe. I've used olive oil, it's good as a mask to soften up black heads / tiny white heads so they come off as you wipe the oil off with your hands. I use jojoba oil for that same thing now, I believe it wipes off the dead skin too but that's just my theory. I think olive oil is too greasy to use a moisturizer though, jojoba absorbs best, better then olive or emu.

I've just bought some jojoba oil and tea tree oil. How much tea tree should i mix in? Will it be ok for me to just stick the tea tree in the jojoba bottle so i don't have to mix it fresh every day, or will this make the oils go weird?
