Jojoba oil is different from other vegetable oils. It is in fact not an oil at all but a polyunsaturated liquid wax and is very similar to sebum (Sebum is normally secreted by human sebaceous glands to lubricate and protect skin and hair). It’s great for soothing, protecting and moisturizing sensitive rosacea skin. It has been generally known to not cause flare ups (with the exception of a few, of course) and because it helps to reinforce the structure of the epidermis, jojoba oil is extremely powerful in the healing process. It is also known to have some anti inflammatory properties. It may be used sparingly (1 to 2 drops) on its own on a wet face after cleansing, or mixed in with your favourite non irritating moisturiser. Only the 100% pure jojoba oil should be used for best non irritating results as it is naturally PH balanced.
I personally use and love jojoba oil and would recommend not only all rosacea sufferers to give it a try, but anybody wishing to incorporate a more natural skin care routine into their lives. I’ve had no reactions or flare ups from using this product and I use it religiously after cleansing and it goes on so smoothly and doesn’t leave that oily, greasy feeling that some other creams and lotions have. While my face is still wet from cleansing, I put a couple of drops into the palm of my hands and rub together so the oil and evenly spread on my face. Sometimes if my face is feeling extra dry, I will also add a bit of sorbolene. Jojoba oil is definitely on the top of the list of gentle natural ingredients that suits my rosacea condition.
