Jojoba Oil
Technically jojoba oil is a wax, but because it has a low saturated fat content it is usually in a liquid state. The wax is extracted from a nut which grows on the jojoba shrub (Simmondsia chinensis), a desert plant that grows in the American South West and in Northern Mexico.

One unique property of jojoba oil is that it closely resembles sebum. Sebum is an oily substance which our Skin produces to keep the Skin moist. When we have too much sebum on the Skin, then we can suffer outbreaks of Acne, and if we have too little, then our Skin dries up and cracks.

Because jojoba is a wax, rather than an oil, it means that it doesn�t leave the Skin feeling greasy. Jojoba oil also contains Vitamin E and B, as well as minerals to protect Skin from the effects of aging and the environment.
As I�ve already mentioned, our Skin needs a layer of sebum to moisturize and protect it. In order to keep healthy, good-looking Skin we need to keep a layer of sebum on our Skin.

However, the problems can arise when we cleanse our Skin because that strips a layer of sebum away. Our Skin is then exposed to many environmental conditions which can damage and dry out our Skin.
The best way to protect your Skin is to keep it moisturized, and for that, jojoba oil is perfect for it. Jojoba oil acts as a two-way barrier on the Skin. It protects the Skin from harsh environmental factors and also locks in moisture.

In fact, research backs this up. A study showed that jojoba extract together with glycerol can help keep the Skin moisturized for up to 24 hours.1 The fact that it closely resembles sebum means that it works perfectly on Skin.
The amazing moisturizing properties of jojoba oil means that it can help treat a number of Skin complaints. Here are a few cases where jojoba oil can not only provide relief for the condition, but also treat it.

These Skin conditions are usually associated with dry, itchy, and flaky Skin which can become inflamed and affected. The moisturizing effect of jojoba oil help protects the Skin from irritants and Infections. However, jojoba oil can also help reduce Inflammation. The journal Pharmacological Research published studies on the Anti-inflammatory effects of jojoba liquid wax. It was found that jojoba oil is effective in reducing Inflammation.

Another interesting fact having to do with jojoba oil is that it contains a large quantity of iodine3, which is a natural antiSeptic. Therefore, it can also help in reducing Infections and provide needed relief to dry and itchy Skin conditions.

Our hands and feet don�t contain any sebaceous Glands and because we use them so much every day, they are prone to dry out and get cracked. Also, frequent hand washing, while essential for good hygiene, can cause the hands to dry out. By massaging a little jojoba oil into your hands after washing and whenever they feel dry, you can help to keep them in good condition. If you suffer from cracked heels, then rub a little jojoba oil in for needed relief and also check these natural remedies for cracked heels.

Jojoba oil has been used for centuries by Native Americans as a way to treat and heal Wounds. There has also been a research published on the Wound healing properties of jojoba oil. It said that jojoba oil can help heal Wounds in clinical settings.

If your Skin has suffered some sun damage, then the Vitamin E and the soothing effect of jojoba oil can provide relief and speed up recovery.

Acne is a problem that can affect adults as well as adolescents, and one of the reasons for Acne is that the Skin produces too much sebum. The pores can become blocked and then infected, leading to spots and Boils.
