Organic Jojoba Oil is currently my favorite DIY beauty product because it is so versatile. Although this botanical liquid extract is commonly referred to as “oil,” jojoba oil is technically a liquid wax ester that is very similar to the properties of human skin oil (seburn).
What this means is by putting jojoba oil on your face, especially if you are prone to oily combo skin, you can “trick” your human skin into producing less oil, thus reducing your face’s shiny appearance without extra layers of make-up that can further aggravate your sensitive skin.
In addition to helping your face with oil control, jojoba oil can be used for your hair and the rest of the body.

Here are 10 ways you can use jojoba oil:
1. As an after-shower body moisturizer: Drop a few drops on your hands, feet, and body so your skin doesn’t get dry after taking a shower.
2. As hair treatment: Apply a few drops to your hair cuticles or a few drops to your
conditioner. Your hair will feel the difference.
3. As a nightly facial moisturizer: Apply a drop or two on your face or add it to your
night-time moisturizer before you go to bed. This will help your skin glow and feel
smooth.
4. As a shaving prep: Apply a few drops before shaving. This will help prevent razor
burns.
5. As beard treatment: Apply a few drops to your beard to keep soft and shiny.
6. As a make-up remover: Apply a few drops to a cotton pad and gently wipe make-up
and mascara off your face.
7. As a lip balm: Apply to lips to treat your dried, chapped lips. Your lips will feel smoother.
8. As dried cuticle treatment: Apply around your fingernails to treat dried cuticles and
keep it look smooth.
9. As a chlorine protectant: Apply a few drops to your hair before swimming. This
prevents chemicals from stripping your hair color and prevents your hair from drying out.
10. As a sunburn relief: Apply a few drops with aloe vera and vitamin E to make a soothing balm.
