Few beauty products are as straightforward as an oil: Slather a drop or two onto your problem areas—whether it be that dry patch on your skin or on the split ends of your hair—and get back to your regularly scheduled programming. But choosing one out of the dozens of oils out there to add to your routine? Not so easy to figure out.
There’s coconut, rosehip, argan, and grapeseed oil, to name a handful—all of which contain unique properties that can benefit your skin and hair in impressive ways. But another oil that deserves a humble brag? Jojoba oil (and not just because its name is fun to say).
