Jojoba Oil

I wanted something for my hair actually. I would use it after I got out of the shower and massage it thru my long hair. I also used it on my face. At first, I was really happy thinking it wasn't a problem but after a week or two my back,neck, and chest started breaking out like crazy. I stopped using it and cleared back up.

Morning: -gentle lavender face wash in shower wait 5-10 minutes -acv toner (30% vinegar - 70% water) with 2 sprays of rosewater on cotton ball wait 10 minutes - gently rub 5 drops of jojoba oil Night: -gently rub 5 drops of jojoba oil before bed (optional: wash before if you want, i suggest keeping it all simple) keep in mind, many factors contribute to acne. For me one of them was that it was the water used in the house I just moved into. It was "hard" meaning it was filled with chlorine and other solvents that can disturb the skin. I installed a water softener on the shower head making the water soft and have seen drastic results. The routine above has saved my skin from all the years of damage through trial and error. If you can't eat it, don't put it on your face. Be as simple as possible. You don twant to spend 50 minutes of your day treating acne.. It can take a terrible toll on your social life being such a perfectionist.. Quit masterbating, excersize and eat how a human should eat. you will develop a powerful attitude essential to overcoming acne once you free yourself from today's bs...Go to bed early. Dont touch your face. Simple. If you develop cysts, every 2-3 days gently rub baking soda in the shower on the area. Don't overdo anything. Don't rub too hard. Be very gentle and patient. My acne has been improving.. Currently recovering from mistakes a few weeks ago. But its getting better. Jojoba oil is definitly, when used correctly, an amazing thing. Research it. Most dermatologists don't know anything. If you can find a good one that doesn't resort to accutane brochures, go for it. as for price. I get mine for free. All you have to do is go to whole foods or trader joes, grab a bottle and walk out the door.

While I do still use this for makeup removal followed by my regular cleanser (cetaphil), I stopped leaving this on my face as a moisturizer because it caused me to break out. I do also use it as an exfoliant if my skin is flaky: rub onto face an rub gently with wash cloth. But, I always wash my face with my regular cleanser afterwards to remove any jojoba oil residue.

I have suffered from bad adult acne for about 7 years, and tried EVERYTHING i could find to try and improve it, but nothing seemed to work (besides Pro-active temporarily, but it soon stopped working) I accidentely stumbled upon Jojoba oil when i was actually seeking a moisturer, and not only does it work brilliantly to moisturise skin but its actually clearing up my acne too!! I almost cant believe it. I mean, it takes a while, i still have some outbreaks but over all its really helped and the spots i do have are alot more dessolved and under the skin. Its definitely worth a try to anyone, and reasonably cheap too! My bottle cost around £10 and it lasts for absolutely ages.

this stuff is amazing

Ok. So I remember using this to remove make up a few months ago, and I was breaking out at the time, so I stopped. I decided to try again with just a spot test. I rubbed in a little next to my hairline and BAM huge pustule appeared the very next morning. So jealous of all of you that it works magic on.

I got a breakout recently and my skins been really oily so I started researching online and came across this stuff. I heard about it before and was skeptical. My Cetaphil Normal to Oily seemed to really dry my face out after washing my face. And I got to thinking maybe my skins thirsty for oils. And so I went to Trader Joes and decided to get this stuff. And I washed my face and put it on and it does seem greasy at first, but most of it absorbs. And my skin isn't greasy with sebum oil, but light oil that doesn't feel disgusting. And after rinsing it off my face feels sooo soft and amazing. I still wash with the cetaphil and afterwards my face is still soft.

If you used this before and had no success, try it again. I too was disappointed and discouraged by three initial trials. They key is to use a significant amount, 6 drops for me in the morning and at night does the trick. It always feels like too much until it soaks in and leaves you with a matte finish for at least 10 hours. Also, you can use it to unclog your pores. Stop picking at your face and try this. Soak a cotton ball with jojoba, cover your face with as much oil as you can without it dripping (no mess!). Leave it on your face for 20 minutes. Wipe it off with tissue and feel how much softer and smoother your face is. Oil (or in this case a wax ester) dissolves the oil and debris that is clogging your pores. I am finally a convert!

I wanted to use something that would help reduce my shine and moisturize my skin. THIS STUFF IS GREAT!! At first i noticed blackheads and tiny zits come but after they cleared up I WAS TOTALLY CLEAR!!

I used to have horrible acne. I mean horrible. I stopped using so many products and started just stuck with my face wash and this oil. It was a matter of about 2-3 weeks and my face completly changed. I know this doesnt work for everyone but please give it a try. If you dont see your skin getting better after the first week, stop using it because it probably will either not work or could make your skin worse.
