Jojoba Oil

I started using jojoba as a natural option of moisturising at night, first off I experienced that it neither made my acne better or worse. However, I felt the rest of my face really glowed. Its a lovely moisturiser! The two important parts: 1. Massage! I feel this was the part that was most important. I spent at least 10 minutes massaging the oil into my skin, which was relaxing and of course helps blood flow and absorbtion. 2. Add other "active" oils to it. You will get more from it. Lavender, clary oil and of course tea tree are good options. Im now adding a few drops of tea tree to my jojoba and I feel it is a much nicer way of using it then neat as I ususlly do with tea tree. Give it a go! But remember jojoba is not actually an acne treatment.

It made me feel very hopeful for several months, but it can only go so far, it seems. I suppose I shall have to try something else, perhaps with it.

Definitely worth the price, I wish I would've know about this sooner, I haven't had any adverse reactions, however, I just started to use the product. I mix it in the morning with my Oil of Olay lotion and at night I just use a few drops directly on my face. The first night I used it I could feel the difference, in the morning I could SEE the difference. My skin definitely looked less red and when I put in under my makeup it wasn't all shiny and oily. So far I am on day 3 and my skin is great! I recommend to anyone, I have suffered with acne for years, and have tried everything, this really works! For me anyways.

I have made a mixture of 50% jojoba oil, 40% vitamin E, >9% olive oil and <1% tea tree oil, and use it to control nasty painful dryiness I get around my nose and cheeks. I also have pimples around the forhead and jawline, but this combination does not cause me to break out in the areas where I apply it. It has reduced my recovery time for the redness from days to hours. Fantastic. I have NOT tried using in my acne prone areas.

I really like this stuff. I don't think that it can be used alone to cure acne, but when it is used with the regimen it is very effective.

Models bible guide to Best Benefit to Jojoba Oil- Use warm (not Hot) Flannel to open pores. Then Rub a little Oil to skin for 2 mins. Then rinse with cold ( Not ice cold). Pat dry with Facail tissue.

I mix a little of the Jojoba with cetaphil lotion in a jar. After applying the benzoyl peroxide step, the oil and lotion mixture is applied. I tap it on with my fingertip. Then my face does not feel so tight. It does not make my face more oily nor prone to worse breakouts. Now instead of just trying to "attack" bad skin with a drying agent and then having flaky skin on top of it, well, this makes my skin nice and soft, more glowing looking and healthly. prettier !

People have asked what I am doing different, and this is it! Even with using proactive, I had moderate acne. I have added jajoba oil and it is great!

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.

The bottom line is that it works, in terms of hydrating the skin and making it soft and elastic'ish. This is basically what I do. Once you are done taking a shower, pat dry your skin, so that your skin is still somewhat moist. Afterward, grab the jojoba oil and pour 1-2 drops on either palm. Dab your index finger on the drops any spread it around on your skin and continue until your you're content. Your face should feel soft and not tight when you "stretch" your face. I've read that some people get breakouts or whatever, I've been using it for about 4 days so far, and I haven't suffered any side effects.
