Jojoba oil-have you tried it?

[skincare_expert]

Jojoba oil comes from the jojoba plant, a rough shrub that grows in hot, dry desert climates like the southwestern U.S., Mexico, parts of South America and the Middle East and Australia.  Jojoba oil is found in lotions, creams, scrubs, hair care products and cosmetics. It works well in cosmetics, because it won't oxidize or spoil, even at high

I love my jojoba oil. I only apply it once a day though, on my way out of the shower in the morning.

I'm considering using it more at night time, though. Especially in the hot summer, I hate applying anything heavy at night.

Yeah, it makes me feel extra gross sometimes! Usually I don't care if I look like an oil slick while I'm sleeping, but its no good when I have to go to work and stuff.

i just started using jojoba oil as apart of my OCM routine and i love it. it's so light and smooth it feels nice to apply.

[skincare_expert]

Yeah, its absolutely my fave kind of oil. I use a little on my hair too.

Using it right now after OCM and so far so good.

I like it and it has near no-smell which is kind of nice. I'm thinking about putting a few drops of lavender essential oil in there with it to give it a nice clean scent. I'm a lavender junkie btw. I LUUUURVES lavender.

Yeah lavender is such a great oil for everything! I've heard people say that if you are only going to buy one type of essential oil, make it lavender. Next time I'm splurging for the big container of lavender!

My skin really likes jojoba as a moisturizer. I mostly use it for exfoliating, though -- I mix it with brown sugar and scrub gently. It smells delicious, like candy! My hair also likes it, I put just a little on the ends after washing. It's a super oil!

[skincare_expert]

Do you mix right before using or do you keep the brown sugar/jojoba mix in a container pre-mixed?

[kestrelct]

I mix it right before I use it. I've seen folks mix it up beforehand, but storage seems like a pain. It's easier to just mix up as much as I'll need at the time.

Now, I've been using a coconut oil and brown sugar scrub which I do mix up beforehand because it's solid and keeps well in a little metal tin. But since the jojoba-sugar mixture is liquidy, I don't have any good way of keeping it without either making a mess or having it be hard to get out when I want it.

[skincare_expert]

Yeah I've been confused with how people use coconut oil in their OCM methods b/c the oil looks so solid! How does it mix with other oils?

Jojoba is great-EVEN for oily skin, if anything, it will balance it out.

I like to put it on damp skin once a day that way it ditributes better. Jojoba also contains a lot of skin goodies like vitamin E.
