ESSENTIAL EDDIE : Jojoba Oil

Essential Eddie is a weekly series droolin' over products that are simultaneously useful and durable. In the vast sea of consumerism, here's to an attempt to filter to quality products.  This series is dedicated to the idea of investing in items out of necessity and for their a long lifetime--meaning you're going to get a good amount of use out of it over time. I'm talking multidimensional products, baby! Oh yeah. First up to bat:

JOJOBA OIL

• Ladies | makeup remover -- With makeup, it's a beast; picking up everything in it's path with  one swipe. Waterproof mascara is no contender either.
• Gents | shaving and aftershave -- Under shaving cream, it reduces razor burn
• Unisex | skin and lip moisturizer, hair & scalp treatment
  

I love this stuff! Around $10/bottle, jojoba oil is closely similar to that of human skin oil, which allows it to be an efficient moisturizer. While it is agreeable with most, I highly recommend doing personal research if it works for your skin type.
