Jojoba oil must be included in your daily beauty care routine. It’s a big hit with natural beauty enthusiasts, and for good reason: thanks to its high vitamin E content, jojoba oil has many virtues. What’s more, it’s suitable for all skin types, as it has similarities with sebum, which is naturally secreted by the skin.
This oil is rich in vitamins A, E, B, C, D, H, K and PP, does not oxidize, and remains stable even at high temperatures. It also contains many fatty acids, and technically, it’s a wax.
Here are 8 good reasons to include jojoba oil in your beauty routine.
It regulates seborrhea
The skin naturally secretes sebum, an oily film that tends to make skin oily in some people. As jojoba oil is very similar in texture to this oily substance, it helps to regulate its secretion, so it can be used even on very oily skin.
The advantage is that it’s also non-comedogenic, which means it doesn’t clog pores and helps the skin to heal. Jojoba oil can therefore be applied to acne-prone skin, helping to heal scars and minor irritations caused by acne.
Jojoba oil, an anti-cellulite treatment
Cellulite leads to unsightly bulges in certain areas of the anatomy: the back of the legs, the stomach, the thighs, etc. Jojoba oil can also be used to reduce the appearance of cellulite. It has a tightening effect, firming the skin when it slackens.
To optimize its effect, we recommend mixing it with a firming essential oil such as lemon or grapefruit EO.
Make sure you choose a pure vegetable oil such as jojoba oil from Tsara brand, mix it with 2 to 3 drops of essential oil and massage it into the skin, using kneading-rolling movements on the target areas.
It moisturizes the skin
Jojoba oil is suitable for all skin types, especially those suffering from dryness, as it penetrates deep into the epidermis. It limits dryness by providing the nutrients the skin needs.
It helps the skin to heal
Jojoba oil has healing and protective properties that support cellular action against free radicals. It can therefore be used to soothe redness, irritation, small wounds and acne scars.
To do this, apply jojoba oil as a night cream and leave it on until the morning to treat skin irritations.
It treats acne
Jojoba oil is an excellent acne treatment thanks to its high sebum content. It works by driving out bacteria and regulating sebum secretion, which also causes acne.
To treat acne-prone skin with Jojoba oil, mix it with a few drops of purifying essential oil such as tea tree or geranium. Massage into the face every evening, using circular movements on the most affected areas, and leave on overnight.
Jojoba oil can be used as an anti-aging treatment
Thanks to its moisturizing properties, Jojoba oil can also be used as an anti-aging skin care product. Its anti-inflammatory action limits attacks on the skin’s elastin fibers.
Jojoba oil activates elastin metabolism and slows water loss within cells.
By restoring intensity to dermal tissue, it prevents and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
To use jojoba oil as an anti-aging treatment, it can be mixed with a night cream. It can also be applied before the night cream, for those who don’t like mixtures.
For dry, damaged hair
Jojoba oil is also suitable for treating dry, brittle and dull hair, as it is rich in cerides, the components that give its waxy appearance.
Thanks to its keratoplastic effect, it not only protects the hair but also makes it shine.
Jojoba oil may be used as a Pre-Shampoo Oil Bath, especially on lengths and ends. It can also be mixed with lavender and/or ylang ylang essential oils to optimize its action against hair dryness and breakage.
To stimulate nail regrowth
Jojoba oil contains active ingredients that help nails grow back. It can therefore be used as a manicure treatment. It can be applied directly to nails and left to rest, or mixed with a hand cream.
