Jojoba Oil: The Holy Grail

I have always had an oilier complexion, oilier skin, and an oily scalp. It’s just the genes I was born with! Because of this, I have always been very reluctant to try oils. I mean at one point in time I use to think I shouldn’t use as much moisturizer since my skin was so oily (bad decision)! So I thought no way in hell am I putting any more oil on my body! Then I heard about this little gem called jojoba oil. Now did I use it right away? Nope! It took me months to actually start using jojoba oil and now I literally use it for everything!

What Do I Use It For?

You probably think I was kidding when I said I literally use this for everything. I mean I don’t actually use it for everything, but I do use it for way more than you probably think. Here are just some ways that I use jojoba oil the most:

  • Face wash
  • Face moisturizer
  • Hair oil (both on my scalp and ends)
  • Body oil (I mix it with my lotion)
  • Tattoo healing (please talk to your tattoo artist first!)
  • Cuts and scrapes
  • Mix in my conditioner
  • Sunburns
  • Body scrubs (see my post here!)
  • Lip oil
  • Make up remover
  • Cuticle oil
  • Carrier oil

See what I mean, I use it for a lot!

What Makes Jojoba Oil So Special?

I know what you’re thinking, “Okay lady, wow, you are really obsessed with this stuff, but why?” Let me just tell you why I feel like jojoba oil is the holy grail of products!

Jojoba oil mimics our skins natural oils. Since it mimics our oils, the skin accepts it with no hesitation. This allows jojoba oil to be able to create a sealing barrier for the skin. It also helps balance out our oil production. Our body regulates how much oil our skin needs, but without proper moisture it can very easily over produce the oil we need, resulting in oilier skin.

I love using my jojoba oil for all the things listed above, but my favorite thing is using it as both my face wash and my face moisturizer. Yes, I wash my face with only jojoba oil. And yes, I moisturize my face with only jojoba oil (at least at night). It does an amazing job of removing dirt, grime, and make up from your face while moisturizing at the same time. Then I slather it on as a moisturizer after I rinse my face off and let that soak in all night. When I wake up my skin feels so refreshed and baby soft. It has helped tremendously with my acne as well! I really struggled with adult acne and this has seriously cleared it all up!

Literally, if I was stranded on a deserted island, this would be the one beauty product I would bring! If you are curious about which jojoba oil I use, you can find it here on Amazon or you can find it on my Things I Love page!


I really hope you decide to try this jojoba oil! Let me know what you think!
