hey guys.
today, i want to talk about one of my favorite beauty products! it's nothing crazy, but it's made an incredible difference in my skin. yes, this is a post about skincare, but hear me out.
so, i have discovered jojoba oil.
it's pure jojoba oil, and it's wonderful. i used to be wary of using oils on my face and skin, simply because i felt like i was oily to begin with. the cool thing about jojoba oil is that it's the closest thing in nature to the oil our body naturally produces. so, it's great for your skin. i use it to take my make up off, and as a moisturizer in the cooler months. i also use it as a full body moisturizer. i like that it doesn't leave your skin feeling weird...it absorbs well and makes skin feel very smooth and soft.
it's also great for your hair, and i use it for a mask with coconut oil about once a month. don't use this on your hair if it's not dry. if your hair tends toward oiliness, i would not recommend it, as it compounds the oil and it's just a hot mess from there. on my face as a moisturizer, i would only use this at night. for my skin, the oil tends to be too heavy for the during the day, but is a heavier moisture option for the evening. one interesting thing i've found out by trial and error: if you do get it in your eyes, it doesn't hurt, but it will make your vision cloudy. weird, right? the mysteries of the universe, folks.
i know what you're thinking...why is she getting this stuff in her eyes? you and me both.
there you have it. go and try some for yourself!

I mix it with sweet almond oil and vitamin E oil and use it everywhere. Love it!
