This oil is perfect for my skin, but serves a different purpose entirely.
I have a ton of piercings (ears, lobes, nipples, et cetera), and I have to use specific oils for ear piercing in a different place.
I ended up discovering I had a small blowout on my right earlobe due to sizing up to a 1/2" tunnel too quickly, so I got a ton of recommendations online to size down to about a 00, and do daily Jojoba oil rubs 2-3 times a day for about three months to help it heal. This is currently in progress, and it's looking better (even though it's been only a week).
I also ended up having a very bad scenario at the piercing shop I go to, due to an uneducated "sub" there. They basically tried to lacerate a small bit of keloid scarring on my lowest-right cartilage piercing and applied direct salt to it, essentially inducing chemical burn. It had a nasty large lump on it for almost 4 months afterwards, and all the sea salt soaks they recommended made it angry.
I eventually did some research, and gave tea tree oil a shot for that. The scarring and lump went away within two days after one application of 100% undiluted solution. Didn't irritate my skin at all, but I don't recommend it for everyone.
I recently gave a 50/50 mixture of jojoba oil and tea tree oil a shot, by applying it to the scarring. It has resurfaced a bit since that, so I've since switched back to pure tto.
This Jojoba oil is amazing, but isn't for every kind of piercing, or maybe it works on different things for different people.
Whatever the case may be, it's not expensive, and I HIGHLY recommend keeping a bottle around the house for daily, or even weekly use.
Dab about 5-6 drops in your hands and rub them together. Apply it to freshly blow-dried hair after a shower with a good conditioner (leave conditioner in for no less than two minutes). Repeat daily for a week, and your hair will become so soft it's ridiculous. I gave it a shot and switched off using argan oil for about a week. I got the same results either way.
I don't regret my purchase one bit.
Get a bottle, as it has a ton of different applications. Seriously. Just look them up.
