Jojoba oil is one of my favorite products of all time, it is so versatile and can take the place of many chemically processed beauty products. Jojoba oil (pronounced ha-ho-ba) is derived from the desert shrub Simmondsia
chinensis. Jojoba oil has been known to promote hair
growth, help with dandruff, as well as skin problems. It mimics the sebum our skin naturally produces, and due to its antibacterial and fungicidal properties, jojoba oil can be used for keeping the scalp healthy. If you have a dry scalp jojoba oil can help to moisturize it acting as a substitue that protects the hair follicle. Jojoba oil is also able to get rid of left over build up from hair products by naturally cleansing the
scalp. Using jojoba oil to massage your scalp can help improve blood circulation to the scalp. It is an excellent hair conditioner, which can be used to get rid of dry and frizzy unruly hair, and adds a natural glow and luster to your hair. Easy though- don't use more then a dime size for frizz or you may risk overdoing it, causing a greasy look. It's great for protecting and minimizing the damage caused by harsh chemicals and pollutants. Jojoba oil won't leave a greasy residue on your skin that other oils will, and therefore can be used as a moisturizer ( I like to mix it in with my cream). But wait there's even more.... it's a great makeup remover that leaves your skin feeling soft; and before sunless tanning you can apply it to your elbows, knees, soles of feet, heels and palms to prevent the streaky affect. Amazing- yes I would say so. You can buy it at any health food store, vitamin shop, and Trader Joe's is now selling it as well. Summer's here- what better time for glowing, soft smooth, hair and skin?
