We received this note from one of our customers, we thought we’d share her great uses for jojoba throughout the seasons. We added additional notes and links in parentheses.
There are some Maine products that serve us well through the sweltering days of August to the frigid days of January and every day in between. Jojoba is one of them! These are my personal experiences.
Read about the seasonality of jojoba oil below!
SPRING: Those nasty black fly bites that surround our hairline after an afternoon clearing and/or planting our gardens are no match to this magical elixir. Rub Jojoba on the bites when you come inside and poof the action stops. (jojoba oil works well on mosquito bites as well, adding a drop of lavender essential oil, or using lavender infused jojoba also works wonders on insect bites– see our post on how to make lavender infused jojoba).
SUMMER: Get into a patch of Wild Parsnip? Tame the results and shorten the healing with Jojoba. (also works well on other skin issues as well, especially for those with sensitive skin, check out our post about using jojoba for cradle cap).
FALL: Keep the summer shine with a Jojoba and Himalayan salt rub on your face and hands. For real! (you can also use sugar, it can be a bit less abrasive for those with sensitive skin, check out our post on how to make jojoba sugar scrub).
WINTER: Oh, that wood-stove heat dry skin just drinks Jojoba.It’s nice to be warm AND supple! And for those of us who suffer from Venus Stasis Dermatitis, put your feet up, wear compression socks, and use Jojoba to keep the itching at bay.
And year round, there is no better make-up remover than Jojoba! Enjoy! -Jan
