I have been suffering from dry facial skin for a long time, and now that it's winter the cold, harsh winter air is doing a number on me. I have been searching high and low for a great, reasonably priced moisturizer with no luck. In order to make my skin look semi-moisturized I have been layering on about 3 different moisturizers and using my tube of cocoa butter around my mouth (which is the MOST dry area).
Today i read on various sites that jojoba oil should do the trick. I am prone to break out and apparently jojoba oil will NOT cause breakouts. It opens your pores and aids in breaking down any pore clogging residue, while also making your skin more welcoming to any additional moisturizers because your pores are still open.
Jojoba's chemical makeup is very similar to that of our own natural sebum, which is why the skin welcomes it so well. It does not clog pores and it even has antimicrobial properties (which could be very good for the acne prone).
PERK: because Jojoba closely resembles our own natural sebum it can trick our skin into producing less, thus causing less oily skin!
The advised regimen is to rub 4 drops of jojoba oil onto clean skin that has been allowed to dry and then follow up with your moisturizer on top (if needed).
I am very excited about the success that others have had doing this and will be trying this out tonight, check back tomorrow (or even tonight) for my results. Fingers crossed!
UPDATE:I am so far loving Jojoba Oil. I applied it the night i purchased it and applied it to my face alone. It did moisturize my face! I did not feel dry or tight and i was not white and flaky. When I woke up the following morning I had not broken out! This is Day 3 and no break outs and i am moisturized. I have also noticed that my skin is less oily, it's currently 2:30pm and my face should be an oil well, but i'm only slightly shiny! I believe I have found my holy grail.
