You probably know by now that ayurvedic oils are great for nourishing and maintaining healthy skin and hair. Jojoba oil, for that matter, is one of the popular oils that are often used for hair care. Jojoba oil being the closest in construction to the human sebum is a natural replacement for it. When the body is unable to produce enough sebum to protect against harsh external elements, jojoba oil can be the perfect skincare solution.
1. Retains Moisture
Jojoba oil helps moisturize the skin, without clogging the pores, allowing for a healthy skin type. Aside from that, it also fights off bacteria build up in your pores which tends to develop into blackheads and acne.
2. For Soft Lips
Instead of buying lip balms or chapsticks, why not use jojoba oil to moisturize your lips? It’s a natural way to keep your lips from being dry and from cracking.
3. A Natural Sunscreen
It has always been drilled to us that we must splatter sunscreen all over our body if we want to prevent the damaging effects of sunlight. However, did you know that chemical sunscreens that have the potential to greatly increase skin cancer risk and reduce Vitamin D production in the name of avoiding skin cancer, and increase our risk of more widespread diseases related to Vitamin D deficiency? A good natural alternative for that would be jojoba oil.
4. Treats Skin Burns
There are times that despite your efforts to prevent getting burned while enjoying the beach, it still happens. When that happens, you wouldn’t want to apply lotion or any other chemical cream for that since your skin is already sensitive from the burn. But Jojoba soothes any burnt skin by going deeper into the tissues and healing them. It can even reduce skin burn that often happens after shaving.
5. Good For Your Hair
Jojoba oil helps strengthen hair follicles on the scalp causing hair to grow stronger and healthier. The presence of Vitamin E & B conditions the hair shaft making the hair shinier, adding volume and density. The stronger hair shaft prevents hair breakage due to drying wet hair everyday. Head massages with jojoba oil help to also condition the scalp which removes scalp dryness. Thus avoiding dandruff and itching.
6. Great Makeup Remover
Makeup is great, but we gotta admit that removing it after a long day can be pain especially since most makeup remover in the market stings which is especially true around the eye area. Since giving up makeup would be completely unrealistic, why not look for a makeup remover that is just as effective minus the burning effect that often comes with chemical ones? Jojoba oil is a great alternative! Even the most stubborn eye makeup glides right off with this.
7. Pain Relief
Did you know that essential oils can help relieve different kinds of pain naturally? Well, jojoba oil is one of the carrier oils that are often used for therapeutic purposes. To blend your essential oils into a synergy, you only need to use a few drops of essential oil. The dosage varies, but the standard practice is to add 4 to 10 drops of essential oil to every tablespoon of your carrier oil.
Essential oils whether they are purchased as pure oil and prepared at home or in therapeutic products are particularly useful in the management of chronic pain as in the case of arthritis and sciatica. Essential oils have been proven to be a great addition to any pain management program. So don’t knock it until you try it!
Isn’t amazing how much jojoba oil can do for you? Sometimes, all you really need is take a moment to assess the hair and skin issues you’re dealing with and think that maybe you have to reconsider what you apply to them. With that said, start looking for an alternative. It may not be jojoba oil for you but you’d be surprised that there are a lot of natural ingredients that can actually replace all your chemical ones. And when you find a natural alternative that works for you, stick to it!
