Desert Essence

Jojoba oil! You can get it anywhere. Health food store, Whole Foods, they might even sell it at, like, CVS. This was my gateway drug into using oils on my oily face. Something about jojoba oil mimics the natural oil, called sebum, found in your pores, and it tricks your skin into thinking that it's already producing oil so it doesn't need to produce any more. This is the basis of using oils to counteract pimples and clogged pores, and it works! Use a few drops on a freshly-cleansed face for daytime (it sinks right in, no oily residue) and slather that shit on at night. Really. You need to marinade. Also, it's great for your hair and scalp. I'm telling you, buy it in bulk. [$6.18, Vitacost]
