I have had problem skin ever since I hit puberty.
So for nearly 10 years I have tried almost every product on the market that claims the same general thing, to fix my skin concerns.
I'd love to know how much money I have spent on various skin care products that have done nothing for my skin and have ended up sitting in a box somewhere or in the bin.
A few months ago, I popped in to my local health food shop to buy some evening primrose oil and I mentioned to the woman working there that I was having serious issues with my skin.
Mainly; horribly painful breakouts that just would not go away and marks left behind from recent outbreaks that seemed to linger on my face forever. Certainly not acne, just lots of angry pimples.

She asked me lots of questions and suggested that I give jojoba oil a try.
*Cue heavenly sounding music*
This stuff has literally changed my life.
I wasn't too savvy with what was in my usual face products or what was in all the natural products.
In hindsight, I am very disappointed that I didn't research the ingredients sooner.
How could I not have been wise to what I was putting on my face?!
Bad Paige!
Since discovering The Jojoba Company, I have been really conscious about what goes on my face and I now get all my skin care products from my local health food shop.
A couple of weeks after making the switch to jojoba products and Moo Goo(more on Moo Goo in a later post), my skin was flawless.
I mean flawless!
Not a pimple, blackhead, whitehead or enlarged pore ANYWHERE ON MY FACE.
For anyone who isn't really sure what jojoba is or what it's benefits are, I've taken this from The Jojoba Company's website;

100% Natural Australian Jojoba Oil - Nature's Wrinkle Fighter
Youthful skin produces wax esters that are responsible for the deep cleansing and moisturising of skin, hair and nails. Up to 30% of healthy young skin sebum is made up of wax esters. As we grow older, wax ester production begins to slow down. As a result, the functions of wax esters are lost, allowing moisture to escape from skin cells. This begins the ageing process of skin.
Jojoba is the only plant known to produce wax esters instead of plant oil. Its molecular structure is similar to the wax esters in youthful skin sebum. Jojobs is naturally hypoallergenic and contains powerful antioxidants, Omega 6 & 9, fatty acids, and Vitamins A, D and E. As a result, when jojoba is applied to skin, it puts back what aging takes away, working immediately to begin restoring youthful looking skin, naturally.
Jojoba moisturises lips, face, hands, cuticles, body and hair, leaving skin smooth and hair silky.
Apply jojoba to wet or dry skin, hair and nails.
I always get so amazed hearing about how such natural things can be so beneficial in so many ways!
Makes me wonder why I've been slathering a myriad of scary sounding chemicals with unpronounceable names on my skin all these years.
My collection of The Jojoba Company's products is slowly growing and in true 'me' style, there are a few more things I want.
But here is my current collection;

So that is my rave about The Jojoba Company.
To top it all off, they are completely Australian owned, produced and operated.
Have you ever used any of these products?
Have you ever been pleasantly surprised by a certain skin care product?
