It is important that you remove makeup before bedtime. Leaving that layer of makeup over your skin can pull back the nutrition and moisture. A makeup remover is an extremely important accompaniment to any makeup product. But it is important that you choose your makeup remover wisely. The regular chemically induced removers that we use contain some part of alcohol that plays a major part in dehydrating your skin. Even the wipes that you use for the makeup removal, harm your skin in the long term. Now that you cannot even trust your makeup removers, what to do? This is where jojoba oil comes in nature’s own makeup remover. In this article, I will be telling you about the benefits of jojoba oil and how to prepare jojoba makeup remover.
What Is Jojoba Oil:
Jojoba is natural oil that is extracted from the seed of Jojoba plant. Jojoba plant is a woody perennial shrub which is mostly found in the dry hot regions such as Egyptian Desert, Desert of Arizona, Northern Mexico and California. Jojoba Oil is structurally similar to the natural oil produced by the skin i.e. sebum. It is actually not oil but liquid wax which is extracted from the seeds of Jojoba plant. Cold pressed Jojoba Oil is light, non-sticky and contains a lot of vitamins and minerals. We recommend adding Karnak Jojoba Oil to your skin care and hair care products because of its beauty benefits.

Jojoba Oil is light and is easily absorbed into the skin without leaving it greasy. Due to its non-comedogenic nature, it effectively pulls out oil and makeup from inside your pores and also moisturizes your skin making it soft and supple. Take little Jojoba Oil on a cotton ball and dab in on your face and gently remove even the finest trace of makeup from your face. Make it a practice to remove makeup from your face by applying Jojoba Oil before going to bed.
Jojoba Oil As A Makeup Remover:
Jojoba Oil makes a wonderful non-stinging eye makeup remover. Rather than using it undiluted I prefer to make a dual phase eye makeup remover by placing purified water and jojoba in a bottle (one to one ratio) and giving it a good shake. It removes every trace of makeup without any irritation, and it moisturizes the delicate area around the eyes. You can also use the oil undiluted as well- and it even breaks down stubborn waterproof formulas. I tend to apply it with soft cotton pads.
Jojoba Oil is pretty light in nature and can dissolve your long lasting lippie or waterproof mascara in a jiffy. Insider Tip: Take a few drops of Jojoba Oil and gently massage onto your face to dissolve all makeup
Using Jojoba Oil Before Makeup:
“Adding jojoba oil to your foundation can make the foundation look more radiant, undetectable and melt into the skin, whilst also giving you beautiful coverage.
We all know that any oil texture doesn’t really work underneath makeup, however, adding Jojoba oil specifically to a foundation is a match made in heaven. This is because Jojoba is not an oil; it’s a wax. The jojoba bean is similar to the protective wax produced by human skin, which means that jojoba oil can mimic the skin’s natural oils and can penetrate deep into the skin layers.
This also means this technique works on all skin types – yes even oily!”
“Adding oil only works with cream or liquid foundation, this method will not work with powder or mineral foundation”
“If you’re using a liquid foundation, simply pump some onto the back of your hand and add a single drop of Jojoba oil and mix in together. For a stick or cream foundation, you can scoop some of the product onto the back of your hand or add a drop of Jojoba oil directly into the cream foundation pan.
Next apply it delicately in a gentle tapping motion with your brush, sponge, or fingers. You can apply as usual but you also want to be a bit delicate with it as the formula will be a bit sheerer, meaning any brush marks will show up if not applied/blended in properly.
