Jojoba Oil vs. Argon Oil

DonnaF

Any preference? Maybe one for certain uses, and the other for other uses? Why? I bought both at Trader Joe's and am now using jojoba instead of lotion on my body and on my nails after I've removed polish. I was afraid of getting grease spots but it seems to absorb quickly enough not to be a problem. I used the argon once on my hair but I keep forgetting, esp. now that I wash my hair less frequently.

A beauty website I follow (beatyeditor.ca) says that Jojoba oil is better for the face. I don't remember the explanation but I accepted that and promptly bought Desert Essence Jojoba oil at the grocery store . Works well for me. I put the odd bit of argon oil on my hair ends when I think of it. Also works well.

I like argan oil. Have never thought jojoba did much. But suppose an oil is an oil.

It depends on the person. Some people do better with argan, others with jojoba. I used to get pimples if I used jojoba on my face, but other people have great results.

I use argan oil as an after-wash serum on my hair. Works beautifully.

Jojoba is great to moisturize skin, especially facial skin.

My skin loves argan oil. I don't get the same results with jojoba.

I prefer jojoba for skin. Argan I bought for hair but ended up just using jojoba on both as it's easier to keep one type. Jojoba is supposed to be very much like our natural sebum and with prolonged use is said to be very good even for people who break out (though it could seem a bit worse at first, most say that resolves over time).

I like jojoba for skin--it works for me and does seem to get absorbed--no residue. I use it on my desert-dry shins. Haven't tried Argan, and won't. No oil on my still oily, very fine straight hair.
