Jojoba Oil for facial moisturizer

**PrairieRose** · 07-02-2008, 11:32 PM

I had been having an issue with my face....I had a rash that I think I caused by some harsh soap I was using. Weeellll, I started trying to find the cause by process of elimination. I stumbled across some pure jojoba oil after reading up on it on a natural remedy website. It wasn't expensive so I bought a small bottle to try it as a night time moisturizer. Oh man.....I have to say I am sooooo lovin' the jojoba oil. I put just a little on all over my face after washing it at night and as long as I don't put too much, it absorbs nicely and feels just heavenly. I also use it around my eyes.....my skin feels wonderful, I *think* that the lines around my eyes are looking better

It has no preservatives and will not spoil so when my tiny little bottle gets almost empty I'm gonna get a gallon of the stuff (cheaper in bulk ya know

). Anyone else use it? Have any other useful tips for it?

It's nice for the hair too!

I think you have to find the oil that suits your skin. Mine is coconut oil. I use it for face, body, and hair sometimes. Very cheap where I get it too. Goes a long way.

All oils (if you can use them) go further and are cheaper than creams/lotions. They also sink in and don't feel sticky (to me).

I agree-- I have used jojoba oil before on my hair/face and it was great for it.

Coconut oil is great too but I find it way more expensive here.

~I looked all over last year for some of this for my hair. Where did you buy it?~

I actually bought my small bottle at Drug Emporium but later found this link and think I'll probably be buying it here from now on (unless when I go back to D.E. I find that it's cheaper there with the shipping charges figured in

).

Palooka--I get coconut oil from Lavender Lane.com. where I get most of my soapmaking stuff.

It is a 16 oz tub (it's solid at room temp) for $4.00 even. The stores rip you off on most oils as soon as they become 'popular' for cosmetic use.

It goes such a long way, it takes a year to go through it, even though I use it for EVERYTHING. Hair, face, lips, feet, hands, body. I don't have to buy lotion, hair goo, lip balm (i just put some in a little pot that had lip balm in it) etc.

It also cools you for hot flashes when you put a heavy coating on scalp and hair (towel over pillow

) and on your feet also---- before bed. Wash out of hair in the morning. (leaves hair soft and helps with frizzies from humidity, too).

I got less night sweats during menopause when I did this. It's considered a 'cooling oil'.

(oops, didn't mean to highjack the jojoba oil thread) sorry

I'd love to try something for my face but truth be told, my complexion is so bad that anything covering or absorbing into my pores = bad breakouts. I was using moisturizer for the longest time with SPF15 in it but it got to where I would break out every time I used it. I've since stopped using anything past my face washing routine (I used St Ives Apricot Facial Wash and that's it).

I'm condemned to looking 70 when I'm 40.

I almost always have luck finding what I'm looking for at Amazon.com..I also love their credit card rewards too!
