Olive Oil

I've always had very dry skin and when I started Dan's regimen my skin started to flake badly due to BP and I couldn't find a moisturizer that could control the flakiness. Since I couldn't find jojoba oil anywhere here and couldn't order it online I heard that EVOO can be used to moisturize the skin too. Well I tried and it works amazingly well, I'm not flaking or having a dry skin problem anymore. ;] I recommend using it like jojoba oil, put about idk five drops in your moisturizer when you moisturize your skin in the morning and evening. And I don't recommend using very heavy moisturizers.

During fall and winter my skin gets crazy dry and this is the only thing that works. It feels soothing when applying to painful dry skin and it soaks right in. It doesn't make my acne worse or better. I usually smear it on with a cotton ball or my finger tips and let it sit for 5 minutes then rinse off in the shower, then I finish my rinsing off with a salicylic acid face wash. Skin is not left greasy but moisturized and healthy looking. I usually do this once a day during cold weather. To make a scrub to get off stubborn flaky skin, mix olive oil with granulated sugar and rub with finger tips.

I've suffered from cystic acne for over 10 years (I'm 30), and extra virgin olive oil is the only thing that has shown me positive results.

I was using olive oil for a while, in conjunction with ziana. That is to say, before i go to sleep I put some olive oil on a cotton pad and then apply the ziana directly. No need for an additional cleanser or moisturizer. A few weeks ago I switched up my regimen and used purpose cleanser and then a spot treatment for any acne. That was not a good idea. My skin broke out worse than ever. I switched back to olive oil and ziana about a week ago and my skin cleared right up. Bottom line, I'm not sure if it was the ziana or the olive oil, but in any case olive oil is very very beneficial for the skin. It's something you are bound to have in your kitchen and even if not its easily accessible and cheap. The only thing is it's really greasy on the skin, even though its non-comedogenic. That's why I only use it before bed

I used olive oil specially formulated for hair, skin and nails. SUPER IMPORTANT that your fingers are clean and you wipe it off immediately. First, open the pores with warm water and a gentle cleanser. Massage the oil onto an area of the face with CLEAN fingers gently in circular motions. Start with a thin layer than build up when needed. You will feel bits of grime, dirt and sebum getting out of your skin! When all is good, YOU MUST wipe off excess oil and wash off ASAP. Finish off with a toner to get rid of the dirt and oil, and a hydrating moisturiser after. This is the only way I my skin can be unlogged and I do this every week while watching TV lol

i use this in a scrub of honey sugar and extra virgin olive oil to exfoliate my face. or i just rub it in and keep it on my face when im in the house. i have a giant bottle of this in my kitchen

I have been using Extra virgin olive oil for almost 2 weeks now and i must say it works wonders! I am pregnant and have been having really bad acne problems on my face and chest, since i have been massaging the oil into my skin and face cleansing with the oil every morning, my acne is fading away and my skin is radiant. Now i am African -American and we have serious issues with being ashy allot, and i must say i have not been ashy in 2 weeks, not kidding. its also good for skin elasticity. cant knock it until you try it!

I have tried everything after having acne for 23 years and the only thing that helps keep acne carm and minimal is olive oil. What you wash with is irrelevant I have found, although a less harsh cleanser would help. Combined with a good training program and intermittent fasting, I get decent results, enough that I am comfortable around people. Oh and I only wash face once when I shower, I scrub it roughly and with hot shower. once I get out, I apply a pea size amount of the ONLY olive oil I found to work, it's genuine spanish extra virgin olive oil, and that's Sainsbury's own believe it or not. Not a single breakout from this olive oil.

I love using this as a make up remover. I also mix it with honey as a mask to wear for dry skin/acne.
