5 Benefits of Jojoba Oil For Your Skin

How does Jojoba Oil benefit your skin?

Jojoba oil has been crowned queen of hair products, but the benefits for your skin are just as impressive. We've got all the details on the popular beauty oil. Read on to get to know your skin care's new saviour. 

 

What is Jojoba Oil? Where is it From?

The best ingredients come from nature. Known for its use in folk medicine, Native Americans use jojoba oil for treating many ailments, like sores. Jojoba oil is the liquid obtained from the seeds of a perennial shrub called the Simmondsia Chinensis. The desert plant is native to Southern Arizona, Southern California, and Northwestern Mexico. 

 

Despite being called an "oil," it's actually a liquid plant wax, making it one-of-a-kind. It is made using an extraction process. The seeds must be dried and pressed. The oil's makeup is similar to sebum, an oily substance your body produces to coat, moisturize, and protect. It can mimic natural sebum to lock in moisture without clogging pores.

 

On your next self-care day, take a moment to read the labels of your favorite products. You may be surprised how many contain the powerhouse beauty oil. Our Dreamy Glow Drops, for example, are made with jojoba oil and create a natural, silky glow. 

 

 

1. Hydrates Skin

Nothing is more irritating than dry skin—but consider jojoba oil your hydrating hero. If you’re dealing with too much or too little natural oil, jojoba oil helps balance those levels. Thanks to its rich fatty acids, the sebum doppelganger penetrates the deepest layers of your skin without leaving a greasy look. 

The gentle moisturizer is one-size-fits-all. The hydrating properties form a protective shield creating an extra barrier to lock in moisture, whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin. 

 

2. Soothes Eczema-Prone Skin

Eczema is a skin condition where patches of skin become dry, red, itchy, and cracked. The answer to the skincare woe is simple: jojoba oil. Although it won’t prevent underlying health issues which lead to eczema, the oil provides great relief. The anti-inflammatory properties keep your skin calm, cool and collected—even when you’re not having a flare-up. 

Jojoba oil is jam-packed with Vitamin E and B, which helps damage control. The natural treatment absorbs into the skin without leaving residue or making your skin sticky. 

 

3. Fights Acne

From tiny blackheads to full-blown breakouts, acne is one of the most common skin conditions. For acne-prone skin, jojoba oil is a repellent for bacteria overgrowth that potentially causes flare-ups. 

Overproduction of sebum can result in clogged pores and acne, especially if you have an oily skin type. Jojoba Oil is a wax ester structurally similar to sebum and regulates production by slowing it down. 

 

4. Soothes Sunburn

Sunscreen and jojoba oil go hand-in-hand. Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, it’s often used as additional sun protection. The oils rich in vitamin E and antioxidants help protect against the sun’s harmful rays and reduce peeling, irritation, and flaking. 

 

5. Controls Oily Skin

Overactive sebaceous glands are the cause of oily skin. When our skin is stripped dry after a face wash, our oil glands overproduce to compensate. Jojoba oil sends a message to your sweat follicles that your skin is taken care of and doesn’t need additional sebum for moisture. The well-balanced oil reverses the psychology of your skin. 

 

How to Use

Place a penny-sized amount (4 to 6 drops) in your hand and rub it into your skin until dry. Use as desired to enjoy clean, smooth skin all day! 

The natural oil is a skincare hit and is offered in many beauty products. Boost the brightness of your skin in a matter of minutes with a jojoba oil-based face mask. It's a perfect way to rejuvenate the skin after a long day.
