6 Ways to Use Jojoba Oil for Skin & Hair

I first encountered jojoba oil about 10 years ago, and I have loved it ever since. Used alone or blended with my favorite cosmetic butters and oils, jojoba is a body care dynamo!

Because we all have slightly different skin types and reactions, a little trial and error is necessary to determine which oils are best for each individual.
