Keeps Skin Hydrated

As is the case with other oils, jojoba oil is a great emollient, softening and smoothing your complexion. And when it's combined with occlusive ingredients, such as shea butter it also helps protect the skin barrier, reducing trans-epidermal water loss and sealing in moisture. At the same time, because it does act so similarly to our skin's oil, it helps balance out those levels, useful for anyone dealing with either too much or too little natural oil.

Offers Antioxidant Protection

Jojoba oil is rich in flavonoids and vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that defends the skin against oxidative damage, which contributes to signs of ageing. It's a great option to use at any age, to help both protect and brighten the skin.

Soothes Skin

Dealing with eczema, rosacea, or a generally reactive complexion? Jojoba oil is a saving grace for reducing redness and keeping skin calm and comfortable. Along with the vitamin E found in the oil, it's also a good source of B-complex vitamins, she adds.

These vitamins, along with the anti-inflammatory effects, make them useful for wound healing, which is why Native Americans originally started using jojoba oil all those years ago.

Treats Acne

For acne-prone skin, jojoba oil takes the cake. First and foremost, it's non-comedogenic and won't clog pores, an imperative quality to search for if you have oily skin but still want to use an oil. Two, you're reaping all those anti-inflammatory benefits, both of which can help knock out breakouts. And finally, there's the fact that it can balance out your skin's natural oil production. Since an overproduction of sebum can often cause breakouts, using jojoba oil has been shown to ease acne. 

Some people can be put off natural plant oils if they have “ oily, acne prone “ skin, but the truth is Jojoba Oil will actually reduce the oil production, reducing breakouts.
