I bought a bottle of jojoba oil at Saje because I read that it helps clearing acne prone skin w/o overdrying or clogging the pores, but the sales lady there kept on recommending apricot oil, and said that jojoba is only good for hair because its thickness will clog the pores. I'm slightly confused but still got jojoba anyways.
I'm wondering though, how are you ladies using your jojoba oil? I read about the aspirin mask recipe w/ a few drops of jojoba oil... Any other recipes you can recommend?
Thanks in advance!  |

| I've used mine as a cleansing oil, then follow up with a milky cleanser. I've also used straight jojoba oil as a moisturiser applied onto damp skin. Mind you, I'm very dry so don't find it too oily. I know some have complained of clogged pores after using it. |

| I also use it to take off eye make up and follow up with another cleanser, usually rosehip seed. I use it as a moisturizer. It only takes a very few drops. I follow up with a little hylauronic acid serum to help it sink in. |

| Thanks! I was reading the posts on acne.org and some people mentioned that it clogs their pores too... I'm gonna give it a try tonight as a moisturizer, hopefully my skin will like it :P |

i have only read that jojoba is an excellent oil for oily skin as well as acneic skin since it is considered one of the lighter oils (even though it is really a wax).
I have also read that it regulates sebum/oil production so i would think it would be great for skin that is oily or combo.
I tried it tonight in the OCM and washed it off with a mild cleanser. my skin feels so soft now. I also pour a capful or 2 into my shampoo and i feel like it is doing its job regulating the oil production in my scalp.
apricot kernel and grapeseed oil are also light oils great for oily skin.

I use my jojoba oil mixed with almond oil (in the summer) and avocado oil (in the winter) and added essential oils of my choice. It is a great body oil.
I am going to add jojoba oil to SKBio to make a facial serum. |

Jojoba is one of my HG's, and I have the most acne-prone skin you can get! I think it is truly amazing and I wish I would have discovered it years ago.
I use it in OCM and most recently I added it to this: Carekate's version of Decleor Ylang Ylang Aromessence Oil: http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=5981&start=5 b/c I didn't have enough kukui nut oil. I'm loving the results of this oil mixture overall. |

| I use jojoba oil as the main carrier oil in my moisturizing serum. I don't find it clogs my pores, if anything, it helps to melt waxy sebum already there. I'm oily and acne-prone; I can tell the very next day if I skip my jojoba serum. I will never be without it again. It keeps things flowing. |

I am 27 and have very oily, acne prone skin and large pores.
Every other day after washing my face, I mix a drop or two of jojoba with 3 drops of aloe joe. I have noticed a huge improvement in the healing time of my blemishes.
Also, it immediately reduces blemish redness and irritation. |

| I have very oily skin with large pores and tendency for clogged pores around my nose. I also have naturally curly hair, so it's very dry. With that said, I simply can't LIVE without my jojoba oil! I've been using it as body and hair oil for years. I usually mix it up with avocado and apricot oil and essential oils [like rosemary or lavendar] - it serves to help define my curls and moisturize the rest. I just started mixing it with castor oil to cleanse my face nearly 2 weeks ago with great results. Jojoba oil is the one thing I really can't do without! |

Bunny,
How does the smell of the DIY oil compare to that of Decleor's? I think I care about the smell more than the results! =) |

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE... the jojoba.
I use clear for my skin (being oily) and golden for the hair. I can't live without it, frankly. If there was one oil that I could not live without, it is jojoba hands down, followed by camellia. |

| Jojoba is a great oil for facial skin care. You can use it directly on your skin and on its own, or blend it with other great carrier oils like Rosehip, Apricot, Evening Primrose, Pomegranate, etc and even add a few drops of your favourite essential oils. It is recommended for people who are prone to oily, combo or acneic skin as it helps balance your natural sebum; but remember a little goes a long way. You can also use it as one of the fats when making DIY creams and lotions. Makes a great cleanser if you like oil cleansers too. And it does work nicely when making a hair conditioning mask (I mix mine with other oils like Avocado, Hazelnut, Almond, Coconut and Neem.) It's always best to go with an unrefined and organic Jojoba oil as there are many different types on the market today. NOT all oils are created equally so buyer beware. Buy from a reputable aromatherapy supplier and get as much info as possble about the company and where they get their oils. |

| I get my organic jojoba oil from trader joes. I use it as a makeup remove. I also add it to shampoo and conditioner for extra moisture. Also, I use jojoba as part of a mix of oils for hair treatment. I got all these ideas from others in the forum |

hi lotus, where did you get that information? i thought jojoba was recommended for oily/combo skin. I haven't heard it recommended for drier skin types.
nubajelly--you should order jojoba online if you use it a lot. the trader joe's is the desert essence brand and is quite expensive for such a small bottle.

Yeah, you're right. It was actually my first time buying jojoba oil and I didn't want to wait a week  But I will definitely buy online next time, thanks! |

I use it to moisturize--apply straight on damp skin after a shower.
Also as a nighttime hair treatment. Smooth over hair before bed (use a towel to protect pillowcase). Wash hair in morning.

| I use it on my hair before I shampoo and I put it in my OCM mix (I use many oils for this pretty much on whim how much I use of each including olive, macadamia nut, avocado oil and some Castor oil). I find it works well for winter dryness. |
