Hey all,

I recently (about 3 months ago) bought some jojoba oil as I had heard great things about it. I put it on my hair line and also my hands and wrist area for about 4-6 weeks then stopped.

I have very oily skin naturally and since the application of Jojoba Oil I have noticed it has got very dry and kinda wrinkly. I am wondering why would this be? and how can I get my oily skin back!?

Thanks

I am not 100% positive but I read somewhere that jojoba oil is a liquid wax that is similar to our own sebum. When we use this on our skin, in a way it "tricks" our sebaceous glands into stopping oil production. I am not sure how valid that statement is though.... There is a guy named Armando Jose or something that posts a lot here and he is in love with jojoba oil, u should maybe ask him.
