Why is jojoba oil good for the skin?

Would Jojoba Oil dry out your skin?

• I read somewhere that people with oily skin use Jojoba oil since it replicates some oils your body naturally produces, so it then tricks the body into thinking it has produced enough oil and it will slow down your oil production. If that's true wouldn't people with dry skin get even dryer skin since your body will make even less oil?

• Answer:

  No your theory is wrong, Jojoba oil is suitable for all skin types even dry skin. Jojoba oil is a non-greasy oil that is extremely similar to the body’s natural sebum. It is closer in composition to the natural body produced sebum than any other substance. Oily Skin - the jojoba so closely matches the composition of the skin's sebum, that it can "trick" the skin into thinking it's oily enough, thereby getting the sebaceous glands to slow down production On dry skin - the oil acts as a moisturiser. Jojoba oil also contains vitamin E and antioxidants that fight free radical and reduce wrinkles. The antibacterial qualities of jojoba oil are great for treating acne. Hope this helps!
