Beauty: Jojoba Oil

Source
I've been learning about skincare lately, and in doing so I've had my best face ever for the past month or so! :) One of the ingredients I've added into my daily routine has been Jojoba Oil or Liquid Gold as it has been described. 

It is a highly versatile oil, produced from the seed of the jojoba plant. It is used for many purposes but the main one seems to be for dry skin conditions. I've been using it as a make-up remover before bedtime only, as it is slowly absorbed and gives your face a glossy sheen! It's also good for skin as not only does it not clog pores, it actually helps to unclog pores while it moisturises :)

You can also add a few drops to your normal moisturisers and your bath. Jojoba oil is also good for dry scalps and bringing dry hair back to life. Simply warm up the bottle in a bowl of hot water, shampoo your hair as normal and then massage a few drops of oil into your hair and wrap in a warm towel for 5 minutes. Rinse well (and I mean well here, otherwise you'll end up with a big gross oily head of hair like I did!) and condition if you so desire. 

It may seem pricey (my bottle cost me around £15) but as you're only using a few drops at a time, your bottle will last for a very long time. It's natural so no weird chemicals you've never heard of! And as I said, my skin looks great at the moment!

Have you tried jojoba oil yet?
