How to Cleanse With Jojoba Oil
Evergreen jojoba trees are native to Mexico, California and Arizona. Natural jojoba oil is high in natural fatty acids and moisture, and dissolves the natural oil (sebum) found in cells that commonly cause pores on the skin to clog. Jojoba oil also helps clean the scalp, especially scalp that is flaking or itchy, and the oil is very conditioning as well. There are a few ways to cleanse your skin, hair and scalp with jojoba oil.
