Olive Oil

Put a little olive oil into your hand and gently massage into face. Leave the oil on for 20 minutes and rinse off with cold water. Repeat every night before bed for great results!:)

I have used OO as a moisturizer in which I used a few drops mixed with cetaphil and worked brilliantly as my skin is very dry. However I wanted to try the OO cleansing method in which you rub the oil onto your face prior to washing. My 2nd day after beginning this I broke out like no body's business. Large cysts began to form on my upper cheeks and jawline. I'm not one to normally be affected by cysts however this was the exception. Believing this initial breakout was just a reaction to my skin purging out the dirt and oils I decide to continue. This continued to get worse with 1-4 new zits daily. In the past my acne has been relatively mild, a lot of blackheads however 1-3 zits at any which time. So anyways it all came to a great climax with my worst breakout ever, literally ever and I've had some vicious ones in the past. My face was covered with large patches of zits formed in my regular problem areas. I have since cut the oil cleansing out of my regimen and am now struggling to get back on the right track. Buyer Beware!

So, lemme break it down for ya: 1) Buy some Olive Oil (duh) 2) Apply it in the area of your scar. 3) Rub it it well! 4) Make sure it has a nice coat on it. 5) Go to sleep. 6) Wake up and see results! :) That's what I did. In three days the big scar was pretty much gone. The scar was really new. I haven't tried it on old ones. TRY IT! Don't put it on your whole face though. You need to test it out in a spot just in case... :)

So cheap and good for your skin. This makes my skin look so refreshed. I used to looked pale, dry, and flaky from BP and this conditioned the skin to make it look good again. And I am less oily!

For the passed few weeks I decided to try out the OCM (Oil Cleansing Method), because it just seemed so... awesome, and I felt like I had nothing to lose. "If it doesn't work, then I'll stop and go back to my chemical cleansers," For the first few uses I just used EVOO, because I had no Castor Oil on hand. At first, I loved it. But after just a week my face had broken out like never before. I decided to go and get a bottle of Castor Oil, because I thought that that was what I needed (since that's what OCM is centered around: mixing Castor Oil with an oil like EVOO) I made my first mixture, using 50/50 of both oils and tried that out. My face progressively got worse. I tried a few more mixtures and began to obsessively make sure there was no oil left on my face, but all of them showed no results. I'm so disappointed in this. I had been so excited to try this method out and, admittedly, I would have loved to have told people "I use oil as my cleanser!" I went out yesterday and bought a product for /severe/ acne. I have never had severe acne before now. But, it was one of those things you take a risk on. I'm happy to have tried it, but I'm having issues looking at my face in the mirror these days. =(

if i keep using olive oil and do one more liver cleanse my acne should be completely clear and i'm combating red marks in the process. give it a try, if you have super dry skin like me you won't regret it!

I have oily skin and every night before I go to bed I pour a small amount of extra virgin olive oil into my hand and I rub it in my skin. It takes about a week to work.

I use it once a day, just to wash my face. It takes makeup off better than anything and its so gentle. Just rub a little onto your (dry) face, and it will even take off waterproof makeup. Then I just wet a wash clothe and gently wipe off the makeup and excessive olive oil. Thats it. Helped my severe acne.

DO NOT use a lot of this. Also, only use it before you go to bed.

I used to use Jojoba oil, worked really well for 3 months, but i had to switch to pure olive oil cause we only have jojoba in a plastic 4 oz expensive little bottle with crappy lid, but works really well. I started using pure olive oil cause its much cheaper, glass bottle and it carries more volume. After using it for 3 months, it stopped working for some odd reason and planning on going back to jojoba oil tell my face is better. PS:
