I use olive oil as a moisturizer on the roughest parts of my body. A little bit, and I mean a little bit, goes a long way! I even carry some in a spray bottle to the gym and use it in the steam room.

does using it too much make your skin ‘immune’ to its goodness after a while?

i never knew all that about olive oil. still i think imma stick to it being only in food. already got an extensive skin routine lol

I have a fear of oil, so I don’t know if I could really use it on my body. Maybe a little bit wouldn’t be too bad…

wrong smell ….

I use it for scrubs & to moisturize dry skin. It’s so expensive now though so I try to find products that contrail olive oil in their products.

wouldnt it make your hair oily?! (referring to the dandruff part)

i’ve been using it as a facial moisterizer for the last 4 months and it works greatttttt! extra virgin olive oil absorbs nicely and ive noticed a change in the appearance of my pores (: since ive started ive gotten more compliments on my skin than ever!

in case anyone is wondering i have combination skin. also, i apply it, almost always, right after my shower when my skin is still warm and the mirrors are still foggy, to my entire face. i do this about every two days.

cool, I’ve been thinking of trying it out… haven’t gotten to it yet, but will do try

i only use it to remove makeup

nice to know my face always gets dry patches maybe it will help!

I use it as my after-shave, because shaving makes my legs very dry and sensitive, and any other kind of after shave made my legs all red, so olive oil is the best solution for this

mmh.. the smell is so strong though x_x but those benefits sound so good! hahah its extensive list of multi-purpose usages is incredible though- i’ll have to end up trying it out soon..

For some reason, I feel like it would clog up my pores and make me break out.  But I wanna give it a try sometime…

i was told it makes you skin tan faster when mixed lemon juice, i tried last week and it really worked!

does it have to be those…vintage olive oils? or can you just use the ones from supermarket?

@Persianchaka@xanga - i guess if you have oily hair already then yea itll make it worse, same as if you have oily skin. but if you have really dry hair/skin then i guess it will be good as long as you use it in small doses. really small doses.

as far as the whole using it on your skin, i’d be too afraid to. i know i get dry skin occasionally but i’d rather use sunscreen to combat uv rays than olive oil. i’m afraid itll make me shiny lol.

@cHARMmMmm@xanga - I have acne prone skin and I started applying this every night before I go to bed and I have had no problems with acne so far.

@BimBo_HiPPo@xanga - I use the ones from the supermarket. They are fine.

@sugar_angel122@xanga - That’s a good question. I’m not sure I would have to do some more research.

@Persianchaka@xanga - I’ve used it as like a hair mask which helps with dandruff. I mix a little bit of extra virgin olive oil with some other ingredients and it works great. It does take a little while to wash it out of your hair but it makes my hair really smooth and shiny.

@KrazyAMANDA@xanga - I used to think the same things about the smell. However, I put it on my face every night and the only time I smell it is right when I apply it and then I never smell it again.

Thanks for the most, I’m definitely trying it out this summer!

@thaidai@xanga - Sounds like a outine that could help me. But I have a question that hopefully you can help me with.

When you apply the olive oil, do you just put it on bare? Like, olive oil straight onto your face?

And then do you leave it on, or do you wash it off after a few hours? 
- Thanks!

@ambercucumber@xanga - What I do is I cleanser my face at night and then I apply pure extra virgin olive oil all over my face. A little goes a long way. Then I take my usual night moisturizer and apply that over the olive oil and then I go to sleep.  Thaidai may do something different.

My mom is Middle Eastern and she cooks everything with olive oil and also uses it for beauty remedies on her face and hair !  It really works.

I use olive oil in all my cooking and I use it in a scrub once a week. (:

Used it to remove makeup and also deep condition hair. 

lol! i dont know how to cook….so dad.

all i know is that olive oil is used for cooking some bomb ass angel hair spaghetti 

I had always just used it for cooking pastas and things like this. After a while, I noticed that it was being used in a lot of products I buy, like moisturizers and soaps. Now, I use it every so often when I have dry patches.

I cook everything in it, frenchfries(my weakness), meat, fish, I sautee’ and make all sorts of great food with it. I always figured that if I could eat it that I could probably use it on my skin and hair. I have tried it on my hair and it was great (makes for a great hotoil treatment!!)

i think i might try it (:

mhmmmmm, olive oil. where i live, it’s really common to dip your bread into it. it’s actually really good.

love, tls.

I’m super afraid of putting OIL on my face. D: I don’t have BAD skin, but it could definitely be better and I don’t think rubbing oil into it will do it any good. My fiance’s step mom uses it every night on her face. She’s 40-something and never really breaks out so maybe that has something to do with it?

Thanks for the tips, I’ve already added EVOO to my daily routine. :]

I use it as after shave it prevents bumps and redness, it’s also really good for the hair.
