Jojoba oil for really bad flaky skin?!
Question: my friend uses it for her dry skin and it works for her but she doesnt have acne. I have some pretty bad acne. I was wondering if jojoba oil was ok to put on skin with acne and if it really helps dry, flaky skin?

Jojoba is such a wonderful, multipurpose oil. Jojoba resembles human sebum, the natural coating our body produces to protect the skin and keep it supple. Jojoba is perfect for any skin type. If your skin has an over production of sebum, jojoba oil will dissolve clogged pores and restore the skin to its natural PH balance. The reason it works so well is that it actually penetrates the skin because it is accepted as sebum.
Try it out but remember to find pure jojoba oil. It may be expensive but it is definitely worth it.
There may be a reaction if you are allergic. Do a test area before you apply it everywhere. OUCH!
Use zinc for dry skin, as well as irritated or to help reduce redness. You want the healing power not the oil.
Allergic reaction is not a problem then.
I would not use oil on acne. Except Tree Tree Oil, but it is stinky.
