Jojoba Oil

Only use 100% organic jojoba oil. If it's mix with other ingredients the effects appear reduced, and the additives are often oily thus make the jojoba oil slippery. I use Aura Cacia from Whole Foods. I have oily skin in the summer and none of the light/gel moisturizers were hydrating enough so I had dry patches, and the regular moisterizers were too hydrating. This was the best compromise and the added benefit of being natural was the final selling point.

Put oil on at night and wake up moisturized, pimple free and beautiful

After using all natural products for 5 mos, My skin is perfectly clear, smooth, and glowy now...my pores appear smaller and my skin texture is wonderful.I've used all sorts of acne medicines, both OTC and prescribed (including accutane, proactiv, retin-a)over the past 6 yrs, but nothing worked, and most everything aggrevated the condition. Being the health-nut I am, I threw away every synthetic acne cream, gel, lotion and wash and converted my skin care regimen to all-natural products. I am now spending a fraction of my monthly skincare budget. I wash with all natural and organic cleanser (jason naturals D Clog) both am and pm. In the morning, I use 2 drops of jojoba oil with one drop of tea tree as my moisturizer, and I use Bare Escentuals (which is wonderful!). Every other night I apply a thin layer of virgin coconut oil on my face. I alternate that with diluted applecider-vinegar applied directly to the skin. I also mix epsom salts w/ my normal cleanser as a scrub 2x week.

Granted - it's a bit greasy, BUT WHO CARES!!! We're using this to control extremely irritating and incurable skin conditions, not to look "pretty" or get rid of wrinkles. If you plan on using the oil for the same reason we are - make SURE it's 100% pure. Quite a number of companies also add Vitamin E - which in some individuals will only serve to exacerbate these conditions. Oh, and that $16.75 is what we paid for a 16 ounce bottle!

I read about Jojoba oil on this site actually and began applying it when I was taking accutane, and NOTHING could rid me of dry skin EXCEPT the Jojoba oil. This stuff kept me moisturized all day so my face wouldn't start flaking after a couple of hours (thank god, because that is so embarassing!!) I've recommended it to two other girls who have nothing but great things to say about the stuff. I don't know how I went on so long without this stuff and I thank these message boards for helping me find the good stuff FINALLY!!!!

Give your skin time to get aquainted with the oil. I have read all these pages, first you can't be allergic, I am, thats why I am using this all natural. This oil is most like your own oil so you cant be allergic. Second, as for mix with this and that, Try just a few drops to start, your not painting a house. It's a face and a few drops give it moisture. I myself have not had to use moisturzer since I got this oil. My thought on all the pimple comments. I have oily skin, large pores and roseacea, Since I got this oil, I have none. Buy it, take it slow, dont be adding in the kitchen sink with it. We tend to want everything MacDonald style. Give your skin and the oil time. Your face did not get this way in a week or two so give it a try. Others having breakouts, Look at what your washing your face with, make sure its clean before you apply oil. Someone said they use a product with aloe, aloe is something you can allergic to. A Clean cotton cloth and warm water does the trick, add o

First of all, I would like to thank Lissa from Atlanta for posting her daily regimen!! I've been using Everyday minerals make-up + Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque + Jojoba Oil = no new pimples!! This is the first time in a loooooong time where I don't have to constantly run to the mirror to blot my face and cover pimples or acne marks. I had mild to moderate acne with no scarring but some red marks. After reading an amazing article in a magazine called ADBUSTERS about the harmful ingredients in cosmestics and beauty products, a more natural skin regimen was the only way to go.

stops oil production and diminishes fine lines and shrinks pores.

This stuff is awesome. Since I've been using it my face has been better hydrated, looked healthier, and my shave has been smoother and closer. It helps with acne and works wonders at healing red marks, scabs, shaving nicks, etc. I love this stuff so much that it should be officially integrated into the regimen. I credit my nearly clear skin in part to this. By the way, I usually use it by mixing it into my moisturizer.

I bought the 90% jojoba and 10% vit E oil and I have added quite a bit of manuka oil to this mixture, not sure how much but as I use it up I add more manuka to increase the concentration. I apply with a cottom ball. I wash with dr bonners soap, then apply this 2x a day. I am using other remedies sporadically to exfoliate and treat, like calamine lotion to spot treat, drinking ACV every day, steaming my face and apply sulfur mask a few times a week, exfoliating with salycilic acid or a salt scrub a few times a week also. It's not perfect yet, but it's getting better and I'm not irritating my skin with the harsh BP any longer so I'm happier about that. I'm 35 years old so most OTC products end up just drying out my face without really treating the acne.
