Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.Due to its non-comedogenic characteristics, jojoba oil is entirely safe for daily usage on the face. It is secure (it will not clog your pores), yet it still helps to regulate the skin's oil production. Use 2-3 drops of jojoba oil on damp skin every morning and evening. Lightly press the oil into the skin for fast absorption. This routine is appropriate for all skin types.
For best results, apply after cleansing the skin while still moist. The water will help to bring the jojoba oil deeper into the skin. Use an upward motion to stimulate circulation. Do not rub harshly. This is detrimental to fragile facial tissue. Consistency gives the best results in texture over time.
Morning Routine
- Cleanse: Use gentle pH-balanced cleanser
- Apply: 2 drops jojoba on damp skin
- Follow: With SPF sunscreen protection
Evenning Routine
- Remove makeup: Jojoba dissolves impurities
- Treat: Add to serums for enhanced absorption
- Seal: Lock moisture with night cream
Skin Type Adjustments
- Oily: Use alone without heavy creams
- Dry: Layer under hyaluronic acid
- Sensitive: Refrigerate before application
Before using it regularly, test it on yourself. Apply to the jawline, and wait 48 hours for a test. Watch for itching or redness. If none, it's likely safe. Essential for sensitive people. Especially if there's a nut allergy or if you have a condition of rosacea.
Select cold-pressed organic jojoba for maximum purity. It does well to retain its gold color and nutrient profile. Please store it in a dark glass bottle to protect it from heat. Discard if it smells of rancidity. When stored correctly, the shelf life can be extended up to two years.
