Can I use olive oil on my skin to help moisturize? My skin has been really dry lately and store bought skin products aren't helping anymore no matter how much I use. So what oils can I use?

Here is a list of oils and their comedogenic ratings. That is a rating based on how likely the oil is to clog your pores. You will want to use an oil that has a low comedogenic rating. Looking at that list Shea butter seems to be a better choice.

I wouldn't recommend olive oil, pumpkin seed oil or hemp seed oil are better for acne prone/oily skin.
I have acne prone skin and a very oily t-zone, but the rest of my face is dry. I have recently started to use Pai's rosehip bioregenerate oil and it works really well. I have heard good things about rosehip oil before, but it really hydrates my skin and helps fight blemishes too. I would recommend you try it!
