Adding on to the earlier post on coconut oil and sweet almond oil, let me briefly introduce 2 other organic oils: tea tree oil and jojoba oil.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has historically been used by the Australian aborigines. It is a powerful antiseptic,and is thus effective against infections, cuts, bruises, burns and bug bites. It's also useful against acne, dandruff, boils, scabies, thrush, ringworm, atlethe's foot and lice. It can penetrate the skin, which helps reduce swelling, acts as a pain killer and as a disinfectant.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil closely resembles human sebum, and can thus be applied on skin anywhere. It's an effective moisturizer, lip balm, body oil and hair conditioner. It helps reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging. It's also ideal for curbing acne because its resemblance to sebum tricks the body into producing less oil. The antiseptic qualities also prevent acne breakouts.
