SKIN HEALTH

Jojoba oil is a natural face and body moisturizer similar to sebum. Production of sebum decreases as we age. Jojoba oil acts in the same capacity as sebum in terms of providing texture to the skin. Jojoba oil also acts as a smoothener to the skin, preventing rough patches and skin irritations. It also prevents dry skin by forming oil on the upper layer of the skin to trap the water within. It can be applied anywhere on the body due to its natural components. Jojoba oil’s anti-inflammatory properties can be used to prevent several skin conditions including aging, infections, wound healing, acne and eczema.
