Do you wash off jojoba oil?
I usually do a short cleaning most days and try to deep cleanse for 15 minutes once a week. Wet washcloth or hand towel with hot water (be careful, you want hot water but not scalding water). Lay washcloth over face and allow to cool. Using a damp washcloth, wipe off any excess jojoba.
Should I apply jojoba oil before or after moisturizer?
