Ingredient Spotlight: Jojoba Oil

Are the chilly winds and temperature drop being mean to your skin? While you are layering up clothes over clothes to keep yourself warm and cozy, what are you doing to protect your skin from the harsh weather? During the winters, the skin needs extra nourishment and pampering to stay healthy, glowy, and well-nourished! 

One of the top priorities is to keep your skin well hydrated throughout the season to avoid common problems such as dryness, rough lips, and even early signs of aging. For this reason, relying on concentrated oils like jojoba oil can help you. Want to know how this superfood can help? Read on to find out!

Jojoba Oil for Winter Skin

The benefits of jojoba oil extend to hair, skin, nails, lips, and more. Jojoba oil is a deeply moisturizing and nourishing ingredient, making it a great addition to your beauty routine. In addition to swapping your lightweight cleansers and moisturizers with winter-friendly skincare, it is advised to take advantage of the skin benefits of jojoba oil too! 

• Moisturizing. One of the most important benefits that jojoba oil has on the skin is that it is very moisturizing. Low temperature and humidity during the winter season can make the skin dry and dehydrated, so it is important to keep the skin from losing moisture faster than the sebaceous glands of the skin can replenish the oil supply, so using oil-based moisturizers can help massively. It is to be noted that not all oils are bad, and jojoba oil is a perfect example. One of the main benefits of jojoba oil is that it can replenish healthy skin oils and prevent dehydration in the winter. 
• Reduces inflammation. Winter is famous for causing rosy cheeks and not the cute kind. Strong winds can potentially burn the skin, known as wind burns, and cause inflammation flare-ups too. If you have eczema or psoriasis, your skin is more prone to inflammation during the winter, and opting for jojoba oil, a winter anti-inflammatory powerhouse, is key to preventing that from happening. Why? Essentially because Jojoba oil possesses vitamins and nutrients needed for optimal skin health. Who knew, right?
• Relieve Eczema and Psoriasis. As already mentioned, winter is no friend to people with eczema and psoriasis. Cold weather inflames the skin and symptoms of these conditions with vengeance. Some common symptoms of these dry skin worries include dryness, itching, and inflammation. While Jojoba Oil will not cure a skin condition or treat it, it helps relieve the unpleasant symptoms of psoriasis and eczema, prevents it from worsening, and moisturizes the skin, while also ensuring a strong defense against dry, flaky skin! 
• Fighting Free Radicals. Okay, so this is new. Jojoba oil also has the properties of an antioxidant. Rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E, it protects the skin from free radical damage that may otherwise worsen skin health due to extreme weather, low humidity, and smog. Contaminants and toxins trapped in the winter air take a toll on the skin and cause a lot of oxidative stress. The good news? The addition of Jojoba Oil in your daily skincare routine can definitely help!  
• Anti-Aging. Consistent dry skin can lead to fine lines and wrinkles (yikes!) and cause the skin to age faster. However, with Jojoba oil, you don't have to worry about that as it possesses anti-aging properties due to moisturizing and free-radical fighting properties. While both dehydration and oxidative stress are associated with improved visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, Jojoba Oil can combat the root cause and give you a flawless, youthful glow!
