Thank you! I am going to try this jojoba oil a couple more days and if the irritation does not subside - I am moving on!
Thanks again for your recommendation!  |

| You might want to check out the type of jojoba oil you are using before giving up on jojoba oil all together. Is it organic or wildcrafted? If not it could have traces of pesticides or synthetic fillers and that could be what is irritating your eyes. If it is a good quality oil it might just not be right for your skin type and you may want to try organic Rosehip oil instead as it is more suitable to sensitive skin. |

Hi there!
Make sure that when you apply it is to the orbital bone area and no closer to the eye, ok? The warmth of your skin will allow this it creep toward the eyes without getting in them. Also, if you sprtiz your skin with distilled water or a hydrosol the oil[s] will soak in so much quicker!
Good luck!
