Jojoba Oil: The Age Defying Elixir
When you’re embracing 60, natural solutions for skincare and wellness that truly nourish your body are key. Enter jojoba oil - one of nature’s best kept beauty secrets.
What Is Jojoba Oil?
Jojoba oil is a light, golden liquid that comes from a small desert shrub. It’s packed with vitamins, antioxidants and hydration-boosting properties, and can help keep your skin soft, healthy and glowing. But the benefits go beyond skincare. Jojoba oil can help sooth inflammation and help support overall health. It’s a must-have!
Deep Hydration
As we age, our skin naturally produces less sebum - which leads to dryness and those dreaded fine lines. Jojoba oil closely mimics your skin’s natural oils, so you can restore moisture without that heavy or greasy feeling. Jojoba oil doesn’t just sit on top of the skin. It absorbs quickly with a light, breathable feel. And that’s awesome!
A Collagen & Elasticity Boost
Collagen is what keeps our skin firm and plump. But as I’m sure you know, collagen production (along with everything else) slows down with age. Luckily for us, jojoba oil is rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids - which help support collagen levels and maintain skin elasticity. Jojoba oil also contains antioxidants that fight free radicals - those irritating molecules responsible for wrinkles and sagging. Incorporating products with jojoba oil can help!
The Sensitive Skin Game-Changer
If your skin is like mine and has become more sensitive over the years, jojoba oil just may be the answer. Jojoba oil contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help calm redness and sooth irritation. Because it’s non-comedogenic (meaning it won’t clog your pores), it works for all skin types. Try massaging a few drops into your skin and see if your skin thanks you!
Hair & Nails
Jojoba oil isn’t just for your skin! You can massage it into your scalp to help nourish hair follicles, promote healthier growth and reduce dryness. It also works wonders on brittle nails and dry cuticles - so keep those hands looking youthful and strong!
The beauty of jojoba oil is its versatility. You can use it as a facial oil, a hair treatment or even a makeup remover! It’s so lightweight and super powerful - so try adding it into your beauty regimen - on its own or in those beauty products you can’t live without.
Remember . . . Age is just an accessory.
