How to use Jojoba oil
Unlike other essential oils, you don’t need to dilute jojoba oil and can be used directly on the skin. It is important to do a patch test before using jojoba oil, or any cosmetic product to know if you are allergic. You can follow these steps to do a patch test:
- Apply three or four drops of jojoba oil to your inner forearm, apply three or four drops of jojoba oil.
- Cover the area with a bandage and leave it 24 hours.
- Remove the bandage and observe the skin underlying the bondage. If there’s no sign of hives, redness, or irritation, you’re in the clear.
The quantity of jojoba oil you use should be based on your desired result. You can use it as a lip balm to keep your lips smooth, and prevent cracked lips. You can also apply it on your face before sleeping to serve as an anti-aging serum. You can also mix jojoba oil with other natural acne-fighting substances into a do-it-yourself mask treatment to reduce acne. Unlike other essential oils, Jojoba oil is safe to be applied to regions around the eye. This explains why it is used as a makeup remover for oil-based makeup.
