If you are having skin problems leave out your other products and put jojoba on your face and body - just for a day or two. 

You can't put too much on and it absorbs quickly and will not stain your sheets or clothing. Once I started using jojoba it was the first time in my life I received compliments on my skin - I was 37. I know what you are thinking, that putting jojoba "oil" on your face will cause acne. Since I have started jojoba oil I haven't had a zit in three years.

Bad past experiences with skin care have made all of us paranoid about what we put on our faces. When you really think about it - have you ever put an organic oil on your face? More than likely what caused your bad experience was lotion. Lotion can be bad - synthetics, water and alcohol being the main ingredients. Water and alcohol evaporate immediately and its only purpose is to make the jar/bottle look fuller - what's left left are harmful chemicals. Worse than that, lotion is specifically made so it needs to be reapplied all day.

Not to knock lotions - but if you are really looking to clear up skin ailments and even out skin tone - jojoba oil is the answer. Especially if you are looking to eliminate chemicals from your regimen.

Jojoba (pronounced ho-HO-ba) is a botanical extract of the seed of the jojoba tree (Simmondsia chinenis). Jojoba isn't actually an oil, but rather a wax ester. Out of all of the compounds in nature, the jojoba wax ester is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum). It is theorized that applying jojoba to the skin can "trick" the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production. Additionally, jojoba oil is non-comedogenic so it is safe for all skin types - especially sensitive skin.

Benefits of jojoba:

- Natural anti-bacterial 
- Cleans skin at the pore level and keeps it clean
- Mimics our skin so it won't over do it
- Jojoba works with all skin types
- It lets your skin breath
- Heals scars, pores, stretch marks and dark spots

Life is easier without skin problems, so here is to clean, clear, healthy, glowing skin - without the worry of long term effects of chemicals.
