It comes from where jojoba?

Jojoba is a small shrub native to Arizona and South America, particularly present in Peru and Mexico. By pressing its seeds, which are about the size of an olive, an oil has been used for centuries in traditional Amerindian medicine .

Jojoba oil, oily ally

Its composition - jojoba oil is rich in omega 3 fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties - makes it a serious ally for combination to oily skin . First, it does not clog the pores of the skin . And if it does not neutralize excess sebum, it has the power to rebalance production. Jojoba oil is one of the least oily oils to apply: it penetrates very quickly the epidermis without leaving this disagreeable sensation of fatty film on the surface of the skin. Finally, its anti-inflammatory action is also beneficial for skins with problems , especially acne tendency .

Jojoba oil is also used on the hair , it allows to rebalance the scalps that tend to regrease fast and deeply nourishes the hair fiber . Useful therefore if one has the hair dry and damaged.

The right routine care to adopt

The regular application of jojoba oil rebalances skin problems in the long term. It is applied rather in the evening, on clean skin and make-up . One can start by using it in cure (1 or 2 months) and prolong the gesture if the effects are satisfactory.

On the hair, you can leave the jojoba oil a few hours or even a night before the shampoo . A few drops are applied directly to the scalp which is then massaged gently.
