Recently my skin has been going crazy with ugly blemishes. I recently was recommended to use Olay. It uses AHA, which has not worked for me in the past. The girl swore by it so I said what the hell. I should have said hell no! I have now proven my theory, my skin does not like AHA or any other harsh products for that reason. My Mother has sensitive skin and so do I, makes sense right? SO I am changing my regimin. I do not like to where face make up because at the end of the night its gotta come off. I want to feel pretty in my own skin not a waxy cover up.
I did some research on other options like benzyl peroxide which does work wonders on my skin but! It can cause cancer. And lets say the study is malarkey, who wants to play with cancer? So many chemicals go into what we eat and wash with and I am saying No More.
After researching what causes a zit, whiteheads, black ones, and Cystic ( yes gross I know!) I then searched organic, natural alternatives. In my search I discovered Tea Tree oil, it mimics what Benzyl peroxide does. It disinfects working deep in the poor. Jojobo oil, which is molecularly similar to a humans natural sebum, was another discovery. And finally, cytic zits, often treated with harsh medicines like acutain, Retin A, and other perscriptions, are caused from internal toxins, amoung other things. So I am going internal with Apple cider vinigar. Its going to be so gross but if I get all the benefits I don't care. If you would like to know more on ACV,click here & Here.
So today I went to my local health store. BJ's health food store if your a desert rat like I and bought. This:
The little spray bottle on the right. ( JoJobo oil)
Which says
Jojoba Oil comes from the seed of a desert bush yet it’s molecular structure is very similar to human skin oil… or sebum. It penetrates the skin down the hair follicle and also through the pores, coats the cell membranes and inhibits moisture loss. It has Vitamin E as a natural component to slow down the aging process. Jojoba Oil dissolves the wax form of sebum so it opens the skin allowing toxins out and oxygen in as well as allowing the natural oils to the surface of the skin. Jojoba Oil comes in two grades: Golden, which is yellow in color and Filtered (or Refined), which is virtually water, white in color.
Golden Jojoba Oil is heavier and penetrates more slowly. This is a good quality for symptomatic relief of skin problems like psoriasis, seborrhea, cradle cap, acne, rosatia, eczema and very dry skin.
