I have battled with acne and dark spots for a very long time.
I'm an African-American female and I've tried everything but my skin never responded positivly.
I purchased African Black Soap (Amazon) and Jojoba Oil (Pure and Organic) and I'm happy to say that my skin is finally smoothing out.
I wash my body/fash with pure Black Soap and I lotion my body/face with Jojoba oil.
The oil goes on shiney-like but it soon disappears and you do NOT need a not.
Just be sure to spread and massage it in.
My skin is sooo very soft now and I haven't had a break out in two weeks.!
I'm really excited to use this stuff.
I use the Black Soap and the Jojoba oil for my hair too.
Great price for this item because the way I use it... it will last for a very long time.

Bought this for my hair which was dry and shedding pretty bad (I'm black by the way). Stress and the coming winter was talking a toll on my hair and I also have REALLY dry scalp. I mean flakes are a way of life for me. I've used all kinds of expensive oils and lotions. Been only a few days since I got this and it's already clearing up. My hair is moisturized and feels thicker and stronger already. Never going without jojoba again.Buy Now Foods ORGANIC JOJOBA OIL Now
This is wonderful for hair especially. The packaging is a special plastic, "pete 1", and doesn't have bpa or other bad things (i searched google regarding their products). NOW is one of my favorite brands and I've never got anything less than great from them.Read Best Reviews of Now Foods ORGANIC JOJOBA OIL Here
Jojoba oil is a natural plant oil. It is created from the liquid wax of the seed of the jojoba plant, a shrub which is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico.Of all natural oils, jojoba is the most compatible with the skin because it is very similar in its properties to the skin's own sebum (the protective, oily secretion of the skin's sebaceous glands). This allows it to penetrate much deeper into the skin than other natural oils can and makes it less likely to clog pores and create blackheads and acne. Jojoba also, like sebum, has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Native Americans used jojoba to heal wounds and burns. Jojoba is so gentle, it can be used as a moisturizer and lubricant for the most sensitive skin of the body, in the genital area (even better than natural coconut oil, which does a fairly decent job at that task as well).
When I discovered jojoba oil, I was looking for a carrier oil for prescription, natural, compounded progesterone. I had previously purchased over-the-counter progesterone creams, but they have a host of unnecessary ingredients in them and are expensive, and I did not trust the unknown ingredients in the creams used by the compounding pharmacist, who can provide natural progesterone as either a powder-filled capsule or a cream. The ingredients in the standard creams they use are never listed, and it is far too likely they will use as a preservative parabens, which are potentially carcinogenic xenoestrogens.
Prior to using jojoba oil, I had tried commercially prepared progesterone cream using vitamin E oil as a carrier oil, sold by Dr. Ray Peat, and I also tried making my own mix with vitamin E oil. Unfortunately, I developed an allergic reaction over time to the vitamin E oil, which my dermatologist tells me is not uncommon. I then tried a commercial blend using coconut oil, which I was not allergic to, but it was expensive. I tried making my own mix with coconut oil at home, but because coconut oil solidifies at room temperature, I found it hard to effectively mix the progesterone powder into it. Ultimately I settled on jojoba oil because it stays liquid, it is hypoallergenic, it penetrates the skin really well, and powdered progesterone mixes in it very well. The trick is this, though: I break apart the progesterone capsule and dump the powder in a small glass bowl. I pour about a tablespoon of jojoba over it and make sure the progesterone powder is completely covered. Then I let it set a few minutes. This helps the progesterone percolate fully into the oil, and dissolve completely when I thoroughly mix it into the oil with a clean, dry finger before applying it to clean, dry, skin. (See Dr. John Lee's books for dosage information).
Not everyone will be proof of the claim that jojoba oil does not cause skin breakouts. I am one of the unlucky ones whose skin breaks out from using it on my face. However, the advantages of applying progesterone cream to the thin skin of the face and neck, in my opinion, far outweigh the risk of breakouts, and I worked out an excellent solution that prevents those breakouts. I rub a tiny bit of calcium bentonite clay into the jojoba-oil-covered areas on my face prone to breakouts. The clay immediately dissolves and blends into the oil, and it doesn't interfere with the desired positive effects of anything I put in the jojoba oil, including progesterone. It merely combats any inflammation of the skin cells potentially blocked by the oil which could lead to breakouts.
Speaking of clay, jojoba oil makes a terrific carrier oil for clay to make a healing, clay poultice, working far better than the standard practice of blending clay with water. When clay is mixed with water into a paste, the clay almost immediately begins drying out as the water evaporates, and within minutes of application to the skin begins to flake off. Not only do you lose the healing power of the clay, you have a big mess of gritty, clay flakes to clean up, even if you put a bandage over the water-clay poultice to hold it in place. (You still will want to use a bandage over a jojoba-clay poultice, however, because though it won't make flakes, it will rub off your skin onto your clothing or bedding.) When you use jojoba oil to mix with the clay, the clay dissolves into the oil and stays moistly in place where you put it on your skin, and if you apply a thin enough layer, it simply dissolves into the skin. Or you can apply the clay directly to a light film of jojoba on your skin, as described above.
A clay-jojoba poultice is good for any of the innumerable skin issues that clay can heal, including insect bites, eczema, psoriasis, poison ivy, chicken pox, measles, and almost any other skin condition imaginable. A clay-jojoba poultice also heals hemorrhoids, boils and blisters. By using jojoba instead of water, you amplify the ability of the clay to stop itching and inflammation for any itchy skin condition. It's a great, safe alternative to steroids.
When I recently had oral surgery, I also made a point of rubbing a clay-jojoba poultice over my swollen jaw, and it helped greatly to lower the swelling.

I am a 17 year old girl who has been dealing with acne since the age of 9. Within the past two years or so I've been becoming interested in natural beauty and personal care products. I read in a book that jojoba oil is a good moisturizer for acne-prone skin, and I was interested. To tell you the truth, it worked! It's a little bit too greasy for my liking to put on my skin straight up, but if you get your face wet, then put on the jojoba oil and then blot at your face with a towel to soak up the extra water, it is the perfect amount of moisture for me. I'm sure if you have dryer skin, you'll want to use it straight up.And no, it hasn't made me break out thus far, and I've been using it for about three months. Don't be afraid because it's oil. Plant oils are better moisturizers than any of this "oil-free" crap on the market that's supposed to make your skin nice. This is amazing.
