Benefits of Jojoba Oil For Skin
1. Redness
All the redness resulting from lack of moisture in the face can be healed by jojoba oil. It also has Vitamin E and B complex that is highly needed for the skin to be healthy and wholesome. It is quite easy to use, just get some moisturizer on your palm and mix 2-3 drops of oil in it and apply it to your face. You can also add some other essential oils to it. Otherwise, you can also apply Jojoba oil directly to your face, too after diluting with a carrier oil like almond or coconut.
2. Blackheads and Breakouts
As it prevents bacterial growth, it helps in preventing blackheads and breakouts of acne too. Just take a few drops of jojoba oil and apply it to your face. Remember, before using it, wash your face with warm water. Leave the oil on your face for 10 minutes and then rinse it off.
3. Lips
For fresh and pulpy lips, jojoba oil is the best. You need to gently massage your lips with 2-3 drops of jojoba oil mixed in 1 tablespoon of carrier oil before sleeping to avoid eating or drinking anything after it. Continue doing it daily for healthy and rosy lips.
4. As A Sunscreen

Vitamin E, along with other antioxidants, prevents your skin from sun damage, and jojoba oil has it all. Just apply a few drops (after diluting) to your skin before going out.
You can also make a DIY screenscreen with it at home.
5. Anti-Aging
It works as an anti-aging oil thinks to its moisturizing properties that prevent aging and thereby preventing wrinkles. Apply it all over your face after diluting with a carrier oil and leave it overnight, and it will act as an anti-aging serum.
