Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Jojoba OilJojoba oil is not an oil but actually a wax! This means it does notbecome rancid, making it the ideal carrier for pure essential oils. Itis known in skincare circles as the " skin's twin " , meaning it is very similar in its structure to our natural sebum. It is very nourishing and highly emollient.Jojoba oil help to moisturize extra dry and flaky skin.Pure Jojoba Oil can be used to assist in fighting wrinkles and extra dry and old skin as well as skin plagued with many other ailments or problems. It assists in minimizing lines and wrinkles< http://www.ageless.co.za/jojobaoil.htm#dermatological test done> and will actually help rejuvenating the skin and new cell growth as well sorting out problem skin, without clogging the skin with greasy mess. Jojoba oil will not block pores, cause blackheads or promote acne.It is suspected that jojoba oil " tricks " the skin into stopping the production of sebum through somehow mimicking sebum. This also means that jojoba oil will assist in breaking down sebum in plugged-up pores. Sebum and jojoba oil will mix readily without sealing off the skin pores. Dermatologists have also reported jojoba oil's non-irritating use for acne. Other materials such as mineral oil can cause anaerobic microbial growth and inflammation redness andswelling in and around pores. Jojoba oil will not cause blackheads that contribute to acne. Jojoba oil is non-irritating.Thorough studies have shown that jojoba oil is non-irritating to the eyes and skin. The skin rapidly absorbs the jojoba oil, thus pores and hair follicles remain open and can function freely. Another remarkable property is that jojoba oil is non-greasy and leaves no oily after-feel. Jojoba oil help prevent wrinkles due to dry skin.As a result jojoba oil and sebum will form a non-greasy, non-tacky layer with exceptional trans-epidermal water control. How great, jojoba oil will therefore assist in fighting wrinkles as well as dry, or oily skin. Jojoba oil assist in fighting lines due to dryness and keeps the skin supple and soft.Jojoba oil is made from a bean and the resultant jojoba oil is a golden colored, odorless, non-allergic liquid wax. The chemical content of jojoba oil is very much like that of the sperm whale oil - you could see jojoba oil as the " vegetarian " substitute for sperm whale oil. http://www.ageless.co.za/jojobaoil.htm< http://www.ageless.co.za/jojobaoilhtm>-- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.
