Bearing a close resemblance to the oil our skin naturally produces, the notable benefits of jojoba include its ability to moisturise hair and prevent hair loss, soothe sunburn and speed the healing process, plus rejuvenate the skin and prevent acne. The compounds in jojoba allow for it to be instantly absorbed into the skin, thereby protecting the skin from moisture loss.
Using Ophelia Oils, whether on your hair or skin, Here’s a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to make the most of these all-natural oils:
For Hair:
Application: Start by applying a few drops of the Ophelia Hair Oil directly onto your scalp. These oils can be applied to either dry or damp hair, depending on your preference. Use your fingertips to massage the oil gently and evenly into your scalp, making sure to cover all areas.
Distribution: Once your scalp is thoroughly massaged, spread the oil through the length of your hair. If your hair is long, you might need a few extra drops. Pay particular attention to the ends of your hair, as they are usually the most damaged part.
Rest: Leave the oil in your hair for at least 30 minutes to allow it to penetrate deeply. For best results, you can leave the oil in your hair for up to 4 hours. The longer the oil is left on, the more effective it will be.
Overnight Treatment: If you prefer, you can also use the Ophelia Hair Oil as an overnight treatment. Simply apply the oil following the steps above, then wrap your hair in a towel or wear a shower cap to avoid staining your pillow, and leave it on while you sleep.
Wash Off: Rinse off the oil using your regular shampoo. You may need to shampoo twice to ensure all the oil is removed. You’ll notice that your hair feels smoother, shinier, and healthier.
Styling: The Ophelia Hair Oil can also be used as a styling oil. Just take a few drops, rub it between your palms and run it through your hair. This will help tame frizz and give your hair a natural shine.
For Skin:
Application: Dispense a few drops of the oil onto your clean hands.
Massage: Apply it to your face, neck, or any area of the skin that needs moisturizing and nourishment. Gently massage it into your skin in circular motions until fully absorbed.
Remember that these oils are pre-diluted and safe for direct application.
Skin
Jojoba oil is suitable for all skin types. It is particular helpful for dry skin and drying skin conditions as it soothes eczema, psoriasis and helps dry and flaky skin. Jojoba also helps to prevent excessive sebum production. It soothes and moisturises skin, so your sweat follicles don’t require to produce additional sebum. As a result, your skin looks less oily and you get less clogged pores.
Hair
Jojoba oil is a perfect treatment for dry fizzy hair. It doesn’t penetrate the hair strand and instead stays on the surface, therefore sealing the moisture in your hair. It fills in cracks on the surface of the hair and makes hair softer, nicer to touch and shinier. It works especially well on frizzy curly hair.
