The vitamins contained in olive oil have a cell renewing effect they are also employed in the treatment of the elderly, as well as nourishing and protecting the skin. As foodstuffs are transformed into energy in our bodies, certain substances known as oxidants are formed. With the high levels of anti-oxidants it contains, olive oil prevents damage by harmful substances, renews our cells and delays aging in the tissues and organs. Olive oil is also rich in vitamin E, which suppresses the free radicals that destroy the cells in our bodies and cause aging.

yes- i never wash my face with cleansers. Oil actually breaks down dirt, makeup & pollutants.. I mix 25% castor oil with 75% extra virgin olive oil & rub it on my face in circular motions for a few min. then take a clean, soft washcloth, run it under hot water & ring it out then put it on your face for about 30 sec- then gently wipe your face & neck - repeat this last step 2 or 3 times.. you dont need to moisturize after unless you are going outside- then use sunscreen. but this is an awesome way to clean your face naturally & keep it young- good for any skin type.

Olive oil is good for someone with really dry skin.You usually apply it to the face for 5 minutes,then rinse it off.Or you can buy facial lotoins that have olive oil in them,but they tend to be expensive.

All I know is this. You apply a thick coating of olive oil to your face. Next, add some chopped roasted garlic and chopped basil. Then swipe Italian bread across your face for a yummy treat! (I'd wash my face first, though, if I were you). :-)
Seriously, I have no idea what olive oil does for your face, besides make it greasy.

I love it....just took a shower with some... As for the face , I use it along with liquid vitamin E for moisturizer...my skin is so soft and plump...i am 36 yrs old..and have baby skin, It is all natural and wont clog pores.
First wash face ..i like to use oatmeal soap..keeps black heads in check and exfoliates at the same time...anyways.... wash face while still damp( not soaking wet)......spread on face...and after shower...use as lotion...you will love your skin....

It acts like a moisturizer basically but it's more natural and less chemicals, so less side effects. And always not too much ones a day is fine. You can also put it into your scalp for more healthy hair. Hope I helped you.

It is olive OIL. if you have a dry complexion any sort of light moisturizer would be good. However, please don't go slathering on the carapelli. Your face is not bread. The oil will clog your pores because it is thick. It is not meant for your face. However, an Olive Oil hair shampoo, like regis' version is very good for your hair because it is NOT STRAIGHT oil. Olive oil should go on or in your food. not your face :)

It will moisturize your face, but if you're oily, I'd stay away! Besides, any sort of food substance on your face is usually bad, since the bacteria that cause acne will feed on it (yuck, I know!).

r u sure it's for face?i do know what it does for hair.it makes your hair shiny and soft.i do not advise you to try it on your face if you have oily skin.i think this will worsen the condition and result in breakouts.
