Jojoba oil (pronounced ho-ho-ba), is a naturally golden coloured oil that has many benefits for our skin. It is actually a liquid wax, not an oil that comes from the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) plant, a shrub that is native to south western part of the States. Native American women extracted the oil from the jojoba seeds using it for many varying forms of treatments including cuts and bruises. Due to our arid land in Australia, the jojoba bush grows beautifully here. While whale oil was once used widely in cosmetic preparations, seeking alternative solutions is where the jojoba story began.

Botox is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin causes a life-threatening type of food poisoning called botulism. How Botox works in the facial rejuvenation industry is by weakening or paralysing certain muscles or in some forms of medicine by blocking certain nerves. The effects last about three months for wrinkles. The most common side effects are pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Flu-like symptoms, headache, and upset stomachs have been reported occasionally. Injections in the face may also cause temporary drooping eyelids.
