Will Jojoba oil or vitamin E oil clog pores?

I have a feeling the Vitamin E oil will, but what about Jojoba?

Neither one will clog the pores. Jojoba oil mimics your bodies natural sebum. The molecules are small enough to penetrate the skin pores, open them up, then draw the healing properties of the vitamin E in after it. I have been using this oil mixture on my skin for about 15 years - maybe more. My 55 year old skin looks fabulous, and it has helped to prevent some of the wrinkles that most of my friends have - and I don't.

Vitamin E WILL definitely clog pores.

Vitamin E, when used on its own, WILL clog the pores - yes, you are right. The molecular structure of vitamin E is 'huge', so each individual molecule is way to large to do anything but sit on the surface of the skin and clog the pores. However, if one mixes vitamin E at 1oz to 4oz of jojoba oil, the tiny molecules of the jojoba will penetrate the skins pores, open them up, and draw the vitamin E in after it to the deeper portions of the dermis where it can actually do the skin good.

Lets say that the molecules of jojoba oil are the size of a golf ball, and the molecules of vitamin E are the size of a softball. Since your skins pores are equal to the size of jojoba molecules, it is easy for them to penetrate into the pores. Once they get in there, they act as a 'cleansing' and moisturizing agent for the skin. They will 'push out' or 'push aside' any compacted sebum and fill up the space. After they do this, the pores soften and 'open up' so the large molecules of the vitamin E can be drawn into the pore. Since the mixture is mostly jojoba oil, there isn't enough vitamin E to 'clog' the pore as the jojoba molecules keeps it (them) open.

One should never use vitamin E oil on its own unless they just need a skin lubricant because that is all it will do - lubricate the surface of the skin to prevent friction. It's great for massages, but if one is intending to use it as a 'healing' oil, it MUST be mixed with jojoba to benefit the skin.

Thank you so much, that was extremely informative and helpful! Just one or two more questions, do you know where jojoba is usually sold? Would a health food store have it? And how much should be applied to face, for example, the size of a dime or less? Thanks again.
