Must have: JoJoba Oil

Makeup companies spend tons of money marketing anti-aging lotions and creams. If you walk into a drugstore you see an endless assortment of face lotion products. JoJoba Oil is one product that I would recommend to everyone I know. In fact, this may be the only thing you need to put on your face at night after a wash. 


What is it? An oil that is both colorless and odorless. 


What do the studies say? Habashy et al. (2005) and Meier et al. (2012) concluded that Jojoba is effective in combating inflammation. This means that contrary to what you may think, Jojoba can prevent and help with acne. 


You can see numerous praises of this product all over the internet. The oil can be used for dry skin, dry hair, removal of eye makeup, acne treatment, fungal treatment, and burns. Trader Joe's carries the Desert Essence brand seen above. A little bit goes a LONG way.  As this product does not contain SPF, I would not recommend it for day time wear.
