1. Closest Thing To Our Skins Natural Oil

Jojoba Oil comes from the seeds of the Jojoba shrub. Jojoba Oil technically isn't oil, but a pure and luxurious liquid wax ester. Jojoba Oil is a long-chain wax ester, not a triglyceride - making it very similar to the Sebum your skin produces (via the sebaceous oil gland). Sebum's job is to retain moisture, keep skin smooth, elastic and provide an environmental barrier for the skin.  Native Americans have been using Jojoba Oil for centuries as it is one of the closest things to our natural Sebum on the planet. Because Jojoba Oil structure closely resembles our own Sebum, Jojoba has a natural affinity to the skin and is readily absorbed without making the skin feel greasy or tacky, nor does it clog the pores. Additionally, studies show that five of the most common skin bacteria plus certain skin fungi couldn't survive in Jojoba Oil. Rarely does Jojoba cause allergic reactions and it helps balance oil of all skin types - even the most sensitive skin and the oiliest.

2. Promotes Healing - Including Acne

Oil would be the last thing you might think would heal your skin or help acne, think again. Studies have shown that Jojoba Oil can actually help to unblock the pores and may also prevent further clogging, helping to keep your skin healthy.  Jojoba naturally treats acne rather than just thesymptoms.It tricks your skin to regulate theproduction of Sebum, which can be the pore clogging culprit. Jojoba contains antimicrobialproperties, which means it discourages growthof some bacterial and fungal microbes that attack the pores andcause pimples.  And it leaves skinmoisturized without the greasy sheen and glare.

3. Works Well Under Make-up

Because Jojoba acts like a natural Sebum, fills pores with goodness and is antimicrobial, it is perfect to use before applying make-up. By applying Jojoba first, your make-up will have a real hard time clogging your pores and causing one of those untimely pimple flare-ups.  Pay attention to your make-up ingredients, use make-up that is free of harmful chemicals, parabens, and toxins. And just throw out old and dirty make-up, not worth the risk to your skin. With this overall approach you and your make-up will look and feel great.

4.      Jojoba Oil Is Great For Hair

Just like on your skin, Jojoba works with hair follicles in an almost identical way. Jojoba breaks down excessive Sebum production on the scalp, while allowing pores and hair follicles to transpire normally.  Jojoba reconditions the scalp, hair follicles and shafts to bring back luster and shine. As we age and Sebum production decreases, hair can become brittle and weak.  Jojoba strengthens, moisturizes and refreshes your hair.

5.      Multifunctional

Jojoba eliminates the overwhelming process of choosing a great skin and body care moisturizer.  Instead of purchasing multiple products for every use, Jojoba is multi-use and can be used to moisturize your face, neck, stomach, legs, hands and feet. Deal with wrinkles, heal cuticles, energize scalps and hair follicles, tame and condition hair, etc. Additionally it can be used by men, women, children and babies and is safe for all skin types. According to Dr. Wexler in the book "Making Faces," by Kevin Aucoin, "You only need one good moisturizer.  This is why it is important to choose one that has ingredients you recognize and are good for you."

6.      Safe And Chemical Free

Everything we put on our skin goes directly to our bloodstream and affects us on a cellular level.  There is a theory that the reasons we have epidemic depression levels and hormone imbalances is partly caused by all of the petrochemicals and toxins we put on and in our bodies every day.  Know one really knows the side effects of all of the petrochemicals in our skin care products, but why risk it? Jojoba is a safe alternative while containing powerful antioxidants and nutrients such as vitamin E, B complex vitamins, and healthy minerals. Make sure the Jojoba Oil is certified organic and as pure as possible.

The bottom line is nature created something phenomenal with Jojoba Oil. Its benefits, uses and reasons way out number these six. Do yourself a favor; do your skin a favor, use organic natural ingredients like Jojoba in your skin care regiment.  Love your skin.
